ANTES DE LOS 20
Milo j
Navigating Fame and Identity Before Turning Twenty
In 'ANTES DE LOS 20,' Milo j delves into the complexities of fame and personal identity, particularly as they intersect at a young age. The song opens with a reflection on perceived freedom versus actual freedom. Despite what others might think, Milo j feels constrained by the expectations and pressures that come with being a young artist. This sentiment is encapsulated in the line, 'Y muchos dicen que tengo un montón de libertad, pero no, no tengo nada,' highlighting the disparity between external perceptions and internal realities.
A recurring theme in the song is the struggle to maintain one's true self amidst the demands of a public persona. Milo j expresses discomfort with not being able to be 'Cami,' his authentic self, due to his role as a singer. This internal conflict is further emphasized by the fast-paced nature of his life, described as going 'a 220,' a metaphor for the overwhelming speed and intensity of his experiences. The uncertainty of how this lifestyle will affect him 'muy antes de los veinte' (long before turning twenty) adds a layer of vulnerability and introspection to the narrative.
The lyrics also touch on the importance of simplicity and authenticity. Milo j acknowledges the need to step out of his comfort zone while keeping things simple to find happiness. He contrasts his life with those who live 'donde viven los de traje' (where the suit-wearers live), suggesting a preference for a more genuine, less pretentious existence. The song concludes with a sense of uncertainty and a desire to understand how to navigate his unique path, encapsulated in the repeated line, 'No sé como va' (I don't know how it goes). This ending leaves listeners with a poignant reminder of the ongoing journey of self-discovery and the challenges that come with it, especially at a young age.
