Hoy no puede ser

In "Hoy no puede ser," Hens delves into the complexities of self-awareness and the struggle to meet personal and relational expectations. The song opens with the artist reflecting on a disrupted routine, symbolized by the changed schedule and the dawn in Madrid. This setting serves as a backdrop for the introspective narrative, where the artist expresses envy towards a partner who seems at peace, sleeping beside him. This juxtaposition highlights the internal conflict and feelings of inadequacy, as the artist admits to failing not only himself but also his partner.

The recurring phrase "hoy no puede ser" ("today can't be") underscores a sense of resignation and the inability to fulfill promises or engage in activities that might lead to self-improvement or emotional connection. The artist acknowledges a desire to change, to write a happy song, or to train, yet these aspirations remain unfulfilled. This refrain captures the essence of procrastination and the weight of unmet expectations, both self-imposed and perceived from others.

Hens also explores the dynamics of a relationship where one partner feels undeserving of the other's patience and presence. The lyrics reveal a deep-seated insecurity, as the artist questions why the partner remains despite his flaws. This vulnerability is further emphasized by the acknowledgment of not being a saint, good, or bad, suggesting a complex self-image. The song ultimately portrays a raw and honest depiction of the struggle to reconcile one's shortcomings with the desire to be better, both for oneself and for a loved one.
