Aunque Me Vaya Primero

Hereford's song 'Aunque Me Vaya Primero' delves into the internal conflict of living authentically versus conforming to societal expectations. The lyrics reflect a deep-seated obsession with self-discovery and the struggle to maintain one's individuality. The opening lines, 'Debo decidir que voy a hacer con la obsesión / Y tengo que marcar mi propio ritmo,' set the stage for a narrative about the necessity of setting one's own pace in life, despite external pressures. This theme is further emphasized by the metaphor of being 'pegado al suelo como si tuviera imán,' symbolizing the gravitational pull of societal norms that keep the individual grounded and unable to soar freely.

The chorus, 'No quiero elegir entre ceder y no sufrir / Quiero vivir como yo quiero aunque me vaya primero,' encapsulates the core message of the song. It speaks to the desire to live life on one's own terms, even if it means facing the consequences sooner rather than later. This line is a powerful declaration of self-determination and the refusal to compromise one's values for the sake of comfort or acceptance. The repetition of 'aunque me vaya primero' underscores the artist's commitment to this ideal, highlighting the importance of authenticity over longevity.

The song also touches on the theme of learning and personal growth. The lines 'Tanto me enseñaste que aprendí por la mitad / Lo que no super hacer fue concentrarme' suggest that while external teachings are valuable, they are often incomplete without self-reflection and focus. The acknowledgment of mistakes and the inability to forget them, 'Una, dos, o mil veces me puedo equivocar / Lo que no puedo hacer es olvidarme,' further illustrates the journey of self-improvement and the importance of embracing one's flaws as part of the human experience. Hereford's 'Aunque Me Vaya Primero' is a poignant exploration of the tension between societal expectations and personal authenticity, urging listeners to prioritize their true selves above all else.
