Periódico de Ayer

In Zion's song "Periódico de Ayer," the artist delves into the emotional aftermath of a broken relationship. The title, which translates to "Yesterday's Newspaper," serves as a metaphor for something that is outdated and no longer relevant. Zion uses this metaphor to describe his past love, emphasizing that the relationship is now a thing of the past, much like yesterday's news.

The lyrics reveal a narrative of betrayal and emotional turmoil. Zion addresses his former lover, explaining that the woman she saw with him is not his new partner but merely someone who came to comfort him. He accuses his ex of being a coward for leaving him without hesitation and without feeling any pain. This abandonment left him feeling lonely and vulnerable, making his home feel empty and his bed uncomfortable. The emotional weight of unreciprocated love is palpable as he confesses to crying on another woman's shoulder, asserting that crying does not make him any less of a man.

As the song progresses, Zion makes it clear that he has moved on. He describes his ex's love as "yesterday's newspaper," something he no longer wants or needs. He acknowledges the pain he endured, symbolized by the tears he shed, but he has turned a new page in his life. The repeated refrain underscores his resolve to leave the past behind and not let it affect his present. The song concludes with a reflection on the new woman in his life, who came to him because she knew he was suffering. This new relationship is portrayed as a healing force, helping him move on from the pain of his past.
