Elige Tu Camino

HAZE's song "Elige Tu Camino" delves into the journey from childhood to adulthood, highlighting the choices and consequences that shape our lives. The song begins with a nostalgic look at school days, where the protagonist is more interested in playing video games than doing homework. This carefree attitude is contrasted with the diligent 'gafita' (the kid with glasses) who always completes his assignments. The lyrics capture the innocence and cruelty of childhood, where teasing and bullying are common, and material possessions like branded shoes become a source of ridicule.

As the song progresses, it transitions into the teenage years, where the stakes become higher. The protagonist and his friends start experimenting with smoking, influenced by what they see on TV and from older siblings. The lyrics emphasize the importance of education and the dangers of falling into bad habits. The protagonist's friend is failing in school, and the narrator tries to steer him towards a better path, warning him about the harsh realities of life and the betrayals that can come from the streets and the neighborhood.

In the final verses, the song addresses the challenges of adulthood. The protagonist reflects on missed opportunities and the regret of not pursuing higher education. Many young people are left waiting for job offers, realizing too late the value of their studies. The song ends with a poignant twist: the protagonist, now an adult, seeks a loan from a bank, only to find that the bank manager is the same 'gafita' who was once mocked for his dedication to studies. This full-circle moment underscores the message that the choices we make in our youth can have lasting impacts on our future.
