Siempre Vos

In 'Siempre Vos,' José Madero delves into the complexities of love, self-deception, and the search for personal meaning. The song opens with a plea to 'pretend' that love exists, even if just for a moment. This sets the stage for a narrative steeped in illusion and longing. The lyrics suggest a desire to escape reality, to create a world where love is real and pain is absent. The mention of pretending that 'God exists' and the invitation to 'sin together' adds a layer of existential questioning, hinting at a deeper struggle with faith and morality.

The recurring request for a reason 'not to make an exodus' speaks to a profound sense of disillusionment. The word 'exodus' here can be interpreted as a metaphor for leaving or escaping a painful situation. Madero is searching for something solid, a 'heart with solid beats,' to anchor him. This quest for stability and purpose is further emphasized by his desire for 'self-love' and a meaningful existence. The repetition of the phrase 'for not being the next' suggests a fear of becoming another lost soul, another casualty of life's hardships.

As the song progresses, the focus shifts to the need to expel hatred and find a reason to keep going. The line 'always you' indicates that the subject of the song, possibly a lover or a significant other, plays a crucial role in this emotional journey. The song ends on a note of uncertainty, with the repeated 'oh oh oh' leaving the listener in a state of contemplation. Through 'Siempre Vos,' José Madero masterfully captures the tension between illusion and reality, love and self-discovery, making it a poignant exploration of the human condition.
