HOME (feat. Juacko)
Ptazeta
The Unbreakable Bond of Home and Community
Ptazeta's song "HOME (feat. Juacko)" is a heartfelt ode to the artist's roots and the unbreakable bond with her community. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of loyalty and pride in her neighborhood, where she has grown up and continues to thrive. The repeated line, "Lo que es de casa a casa vuelve" (What is from home returns home), emphasizes the cyclical nature of life and the importance of staying true to one's origins. This theme is further reinforced by the mention of staying in the barrio, where the constants in her life reside, and the sense of presence she maintains even when physically absent, as indicated by the line, "El móvil apagado, pero yo estoy presente" (The phone is off, but I am present).
The song also delves into the challenges and triumphs of growing up. Ptazeta reminisces about her childhood, playing in the alley with her friends, and acknowledges the inevitable hardships that come with life. Despite these challenges, she remains resilient and focused on her goals, as seen in the lines, "Yo sigo en lo mío pa' llevarnos el gol" (I keep doing my thing to score the goal). The lyrics convey a sense of determination and optimism, celebrating the day when luck finally turns in their favor.
Moreover, the song touches on themes of authenticity and change. Ptazeta expresses a desire to remain true to herself and her community, rejecting superficial changes and new tricks. She values genuine relationships and the support of her gang, who have been with her through thick and thin. The line, "La gente cambia y el cambio no significa un atraso" (People change, and change does not mean a setback), highlights her understanding that change is a natural part of life, but it should not compromise one's core values and connections.
