Tiempo

Sôber's song 'Tiempo' delves into the inexorable and relentless nature of time, portraying it as both a friend and a foe. The lyrics reflect on how time changes, deceives, and ultimately dictates the course of our lives. The opening lines, 'Tiempos que cambian / Nos mienten y engañan,' suggest a sense of betrayal and disillusionment with the passage of time, emphasizing how it can bring about unexpected and often unwelcome changes.

The song uses powerful metaphors to illustrate the unstoppable force of time. Descriptions like 'Tiempo que avanza / Como un tren en marcha' and 'Tiempo invencible / Que hoy te me escapas' paint a vivid picture of time as a relentless train that waits for no one, and an invincible entity that slips away no matter how hard one tries to hold onto it. The recurring theme of time being impossible to reclaim or reverse is poignantly captured in lines such as 'Imposible echarte atrás / Imposible regresar.'

Sôber also touches on the emotional impact of time, particularly when it comes to loss and the desire for more time with loved ones. The verse 'Tiempo salvaje cuando alguien querido / Antes de tiempo se nos va' speaks to the pain of losing someone prematurely, highlighting the cruel and unpredictable nature of time. The song's yearning for the ability to buy or control time, 'Ojalá algún día se pudiese comprar,' underscores a universal human desire to master time, despite its inherent uncontrollability. Through 'Tiempo,' Sôber captures the complex relationship humans have with time, blending themes of inevitability, loss, and the fleeting nature of existence.
