Hoy
The Picos Pardos Lyrics

The first stanza of "Hoy" is about awakening to a sense of loneliness and realizing that it can be shared by two people. This is significant in that it implies that the singer is not alone in their feelings of isolation, and that there may be someone else out there who feels the same way. The second stanza describes a fear of routine and complacency, and how it can be paralyzing. The line "A la rutina/Fijamente a los ojos" ("To routine/Firmly to the eyes") speaks to the idea that routine can be so dominant in our lives that it feels like it is staring us down.

The third stanza is about navigating through life's dry spells when it comes to passion and love. The lines "Navegué/Por mares secos de pasión" ("I sailed/Through dry seas of passion") again touch on the theme of loneliness and isolation. The singer has come to accept that they may never find true love and have learned to be okay with that. They have become "acostumbrado a asimilar/El tiempo y su velocidad" ("accustomed to assimilate/Time and its speed"), meaning that they have become accustomed to the passage of time and the fact that life goes on, whether they find love or not.

The chorus of "No estamos tan mal" ("We're not so bad") serves as a reminder to the listener (and the singer) that life is not all bad. Despite feeling isolated and alone at times, there is still hope and the possibility of happiness. The final stanza is about the decisions that have led the singer to this point in their life, and how they have come to accept their broken pieces and imperfections. The chorus once again reinforces the idea that life may not be perfect, but it's not all bad, either.
