Vivir Apurados

The song 'Vivir Apurados' by No Te Va Gustar delves into the existential struggle of living in a fast-paced, indifferent world. The lyrics express a deep dissatisfaction with societal norms and the relentless rush towards success at any cost. The opening lines, 'No estamos preparados para morir / Al mundo no le importa lo que sentís,' set a somber tone, highlighting the inevitability of death and the world's apathy towards individual feelings. This sentiment is further emphasized by the repeated assertion, 'No es lo que me dijo mi educación / No quiero formar parte, pido perdón,' indicating a rejection of the values instilled by traditional education and a desire to apologize for not conforming.

The chorus, 'Volvé a nacer, no dejes que nos mientan / Quiero creer, que no estamos a la venta,' serves as a call to action, urging listeners to metaphorically 'be reborn' and resist the lies perpetuated by society. The repetition of 'No nos atrae vivir apurados' underscores the band's disdain for a hurried life, suggesting that the journey and the experiences along the way are more important than merely reaching the destination. This perspective is reinforced by lines like 'No nos molesta el camino más largo / No nos preocupa que pueda pasar,' which advocate for a more mindful and unhurried approach to life.

No Te Va Gustar, known for their socially conscious lyrics and fusion of rock, reggae, and Latin rhythms, uses 'Vivir Apurados' to critique the superficial values of modern society. The song encourages listeners to question the status quo and prioritize personal fulfillment over societal expectations. By rejecting the notion that success must be achieved at any cost, the band promotes a more thoughtful and deliberate way of living, where the journey itself holds intrinsic value.
