Tocotó

Amaia's song 'Tocotó' is a poetic exploration of life's relentless pace and the pursuit of goals. The recurring metaphor of a 'caballito' (little horse) represents the journey and the effort to keep moving forward despite obstacles. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and competition, as seen in lines like 'Corre, corre, caballito, que quiero quedar primera' (Run, run, little horse, I want to come first). This reflects the pressure to succeed and the desire to be ahead in life's race.

The song also touches on the feeling of being left behind, as expressed in 'Mira, todas han salido y yo sigo en la bandera' (Look, everyone has left, and I'm still at the flag). This line captures the anxiety of not keeping up with others and the fear of missing out. However, Amaia also introduces a sense of resilience and determination, suggesting that even if everything seems predetermined ('Y si todo ya está escrito'), she will be the one to read it and make her mark.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the race is not just about reaching a physical destination but also about personal growth and self-discovery. The realization that 'esto no es ninguna carrera' (this is not a race) signifies a shift in perspective. It suggests that the journey itself, with all its challenges and moments of exhaustion ('Voy contra el viento, todos me alcanzan'), is what truly matters. The song encourages listeners to keep moving forward, even when the path is tough, and to find meaning in the journey rather than just the destination.
