Como Vas?

The song "Como Vas?" by Kidd Keo is a reflective piece that delves into the complexities of maintaining personal relationships amidst the changes brought by fame and distance. The lyrics are presented as a conversation, or perhaps a monologue, where the artist is reaching out to someone he cares about, asking how they are doing and updating them on his life. The repeated question, "Dime, baby, ¿cómo andas?, dime, ¿cómo vas?" which translates to "Tell me, baby, how are you doing, tell me, how are you?" suggests a longing for connection and an attempt to bridge the gap that has formed between them.

Kidd Keo contrasts his current lifestyle, filled with material success and the trappings of fame, with the simple desire to be back home, implying that the emotional fulfillment he seeks cannot be bought. He mentions buying a Rolex for Valentine's Day but admits he would rather be with his loved one. The artist also acknowledges the strain his absence and lifestyle may be causing, with references to his mother's concern and the metaphor of a rose with a thorn stuck in it, symbolizing pain amidst beauty or love.

The song touches on themes of regret and the bittersweet nature of success. While Kidd Keo has achieved fame and wealth, indicated by lines about having pockets full of money and buying expensive items, there's a sense of loss and yearning for the past and for the person he's addressing. The mention of drug use and the pressures of being in the public eye add layers to the narrative, revealing the downsides of fame and the desire for a simpler, more connected life.
