El Día De Mañana is Bunbury’s witty reminder that living in constant fear of “what might happen” can steal the joy of what is happening right now. Throughout the lyric, relatives, friends, and society chant the same refrain: save your money, lower your voice, choose your friends carefully, and brace yourself for the worst because “it will never be enough.” Bunbury paints these warnings almost like a hypnotic mantra, revealing how easily we can be paralyzed by anxiety about the future.
Yet beneath the caution tape, the song carries a rebellious grin. The singer ultimately points out that, even after all the advice, “you’ll do whatever you want in the end.” By repeating “ten cuidado, que mañana vendrá el día de mañana,” he pokes fun at the idea that tomorrow is a looming monster. The real message? Throw off the chains of perpetual precaution, trust your own instincts, and remember that the present moment deserves just as much attention as the uncertain day of tomorrow.
