Voy a Mil

Serú Girán's song 'Voy a Mil' captures the chaotic and often overwhelming pace of modern life. The lyrics, delivered with a sense of urgency and desperation, reflect the pressures and anxieties that come with living in a fast-paced world. The opening lines, 'Hey, doctor / Soy este sudor que me salta,' immediately set the tone of someone who is physically and mentally overwhelmed. The mention of 'coramina,' a stimulant, suggests a need to keep up with the relentless demands of life, even at the cost of one's health.

The chorus, 'Voy a mil, no tengo control / ¿Qué me pasa?' speaks to the loss of control and the disorientation that comes with living life at breakneck speed. The imagery of 'películas vencidas' (expired films) and 'el teléfono sonando en casa' (the phone ringing at home) evokes a sense of disconnection and the blurring of reality. The protagonist is caught in a whirlwind, unable to find peace or clarity, and pleads, 'No me hagan sufrir' (Don't make me suffer).

The song also touches on themes of exploitation and disillusionment. The lines 'Mi productor me da veneno / Estoy gastando mi dinero en la rata' suggest a toxic relationship with the music industry, where the artist feels used and drained. The decision to 'echar al pirata' (get rid of the pirate) and 'tomar una aspirina' (take an aspirin) symbolizes a desire to break free from these harmful influences and find some semblance of relief. Ultimately, the song questions the notion of freedom with the poignant line, '¿Quién dijo que somos libres?' (Who said we are free?), highlighting the constraints and pressures that define modern existence.
