HOOD (remix) (feat. Tiago PZK)
Trueno
The Lure of Home and the Weight of Stardom
The song "HOOD (remix)" by Trueno featuring Tiago PZK delves into the complexities of fame and the longing for one's roots. The lyrics express the artist's internal conflict between the success that has brought widespread recognition and the pull of the neighborhood, or 'hood,' where his identity and memories reside. The repeated line 'Si vuelvo para el hood, est mi name' suggests that while the artist's name is known in his old neighborhood, his presence is missed, and without the people he cares about, the fame feels hollow.
Trueno reflects on the changes that fame has brought to his life, acknowledging that while the world knows his face, his heart remains in the barrio. The lyrics 'Mi cara por el mundo, en el barrio mis sentimiento' highlight the dichotomy between his public persona and his private emotions. The song conveys a sense of nostalgia and a yearning to reconnect with his roots and the people who matter to him, despite the demands of his career. The metaphor of carrying stars in his backpack represents the accolades and achievements he has collected, yet these accomplishments weigh heavily on him when he feels alone.
The artist grapples with the loneliness and challenges of life on the road, as indicated by the lines 'Estar lejos de casa me acerca a tu voz' and 'Solo contra el mundo, mami, ya no hay tiempo pa' ver atrás.' Trueno's lyrics suggest that success has come at the cost of personal connections and the simplicity of his past life. The song is a poignant reminder that no matter how far one travels or how much one achieves, the sense of belonging and the need for meaningful relationships remain fundamental human desires.
