Conciencia Contrareloj

In 'Conciencia Contrareloj,' Los Enanitos Verdes delve into the themes of time, procrastination, and self-awareness. The song opens with a beggar shouting that it's getting late, symbolizing an external reminder of the fleeting nature of time. The protagonist, however, is caught in a cycle of postponement, digging in the sand and allowing their conscience to deteriorate. This imagery suggests a struggle with inner conflict and the difficulty of taking action, a common human experience.

The lyrics also explore different perspectives on life and time. Some believe everything is over, while others think life is long. This dichotomy highlights the subjective nature of time and how it is perceived differently by individuals. The line 'Tu tiempo es uno y el mío también' emphasizes that everyone has their own timeline, yet the protagonist feels the pressure of loving someone 'contra-reloj,' or against the clock. This sense of urgency in relationships adds another layer to the song's exploration of time.

The repetition of 'Este minuto, este segundo, este sueño, este día' serves as a mantra, urging the listener to seize the present moment. The protagonist acknowledges their tendency to procrastinate but also recognizes the importance of reacting in time. The song ends on a hopeful note with '¡Es bueno para el cambio!' suggesting that awareness and action can lead to positive transformation. Through its poignant lyrics and reflective tone, 'Conciencia Contrareloj' encourages listeners to confront their own procrastination and make the most of their time.
