Hoy Vengo a Ver

In 'Hoy Vengo a Ver,' La Trampa delves into the themes of success, disillusionment, and the societal changes in Uruguay. The song's narrator returns to their homeland to witness the progress and achievements of someone they once knew. The opening lines, 'Hoy Vengo a Ver / Todo lo que lograste,' set the stage for a journey of discovery, where the narrator is eager to see the advancements and prosperity that have been reported. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that this success is superficial and comes at a significant cost.

The lyrics 'Me dijeron que los tiempos que ahora corren son muy buenos para todos' and 'Y que vivís en una nube y que miras de arriba al Uruguay' suggest a disconnect between the perceived prosperity and the reality on the ground. The narrator observes a sense of dizziness or confusion ('Veo tu mareo'), indicating that the person they are visiting is lost in their newfound status and material gains. This is further emphasized in the lines 'Pero por favor / Mira lo que compraste / A ver, háblame de los gustos que hoy te das,' where the narrator critiques the shallow pleasures and materialistic pursuits that have come to define success.

La Trampa's song also touches on the idea of staying true to one's roots and values. The narrator's declaration, 'El corazón me late fuerte siempre del mismo costado que mis padres,' signifies a strong connection to their heritage and a refusal to be swayed by the superficial changes around them. The repeated refrain, 'Voy a seguir así / Sin entrar en ese juego,' underscores their commitment to remaining authentic and not getting caught up in the 'idiotic game' of materialism and false success. Through 'Hoy Vengo a Ver,' La Trampa offers a poignant critique of societal values and the true cost of progress, urging listeners to reflect on what truly matters in life.
