El Tiempo Tuyo

Skalariak's song 'El Tiempo Tuyo' delves into the intricate relationship between love and time, using vivid imagery and metaphors to explore how these two forces interact. The lyrics open with a desire to visit a lover's room, symbolizing an intimate connection and the merging of personal spaces. The mention of 'encajar en ti mi inquietud' (fitting my restlessness into you) suggests a longing to share one's deepest emotions and thoughts, while the 'tic tac' of the clock represents the relentless passage of time.

As the song progresses, the clock's ticking becomes a central motif, symbolizing the tension between the fleeting nature of time and the desire for timeless moments in love. The repeated phrase 'El tiempo calla cuando suena el tic tac' (Time is silent when the clock ticks) highlights the paradox of time standing still in moments of deep connection, yet continuing to move forward. This duality is further emphasized by the lines 'La vida corre sin tus agujas' (Life runs without your hands) and 'La vida pasa si no hay compas' (Life passes if there is no rhythm), suggesting that love can create a sense of timelessness, even as life continues to move on.

The song's climax, with the countdown from twelve to one, symbolizes a reset or a new beginning, free from the constraints of modern life, money, and time. The repeated exclamation '¡tiempo tuyo!' (your time) signifies a reclaiming of time, making it personal and meaningful. This idea of 'tiempo inmortal' (immortal time) and 'cambio en el mundo' (change in the world) suggests that love has the power to transcend the ordinary and create a new reality where time is no longer a limiting factor. Skalariak's ska-punk style, known for its energetic and rebellious spirit, perfectly complements the song's theme of breaking free from societal constraints and embracing a timeless, transformative love.
