Huyendo

In 'Huyendo,' Lasso delves into the bittersweet realm of nostalgia and the fear of moving forward. The song opens with a reflection on the good years shared with someone special, years that were not fully appreciated until they ended. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines, 'Nunca los valore hasta que terminó,' highlighting the common human experience of taking moments for granted until they are gone. The artist reminisces about the past, looking at old photos and feeling as though those moments happened just yesterday, a powerful metaphor for how quickly time can slip away.

The chorus reveals a deep-seated desire to escape the present and return to the past, 'Si pudiera huir y nunca volver, quisiera vivir el pasado otra vez.' This longing to relive past experiences suggests a dissatisfaction with the current state of life and a fear of the unknown future. The repetition of this line emphasizes the intensity of this desire, making it clear that the past holds a significant emotional weight for the artist. The song also touches on the theme of broken promises and changed relationships, 'Me decías conmigo la vida tú pasarías, pero eso nunca ocurrió,' adding another layer of emotional complexity.

Lasso also critiques societal expectations and the harsh realities of growing up. The lyrics, 'La gente aseguraba un mundo mejor, que aprender es libertad,' reflect a disillusionment with the promises of a better world and the idea that learning equates to freedom. Instead, the artist finds that growing up involves facing envy and a lack of love, 'Mucha envidia y muy poco amor.' This realization adds to the overall sense of fear and uncertainty about the future, making the desire to escape to the past even more poignant. Through 'Huyendo,' Lasso captures the universal struggle of reconciling with the past while facing the inevitable march of time and the challenges of adulthood.
