In "Hoy" by 008racca, the artist delves into the complexities of daily life and the emotional weight that often accompanies it. The song opens with a conversation with a maternal figure, highlighting a sense of resignation and the desire for self-improvement. The artist acknowledges that while things may seem simpler for others, they carry a personal burden that is not immediately visible. This is metaphorically represented by the heavy backpack, symbolizing the emotional and mental load they bear.

The lyrics further explore themes of introspection and self-doubt. The artist questions their relationship with karma and reflects on moments of frustration, such as breaking an alarm clock in a fit of anger. This imagery conveys a sense of being overwhelmed by life's challenges and the struggle to maintain composure. The repeated mention of wanting to avoid singing and the purchase of tobacco, despite not knowing how to smoke, suggests a search for solace or escape from these pressures.

As the song progresses, the artist describes a solitary journey home, emphasizing feelings of isolation and disconnection from the world around them. The interactions with neighbors and the empty streets underscore a sense of alienation. Despite these challenges, there is a persistent hope for improvement, as the artist reassures themselves that they will be okay. This internal dialogue reflects a universal struggle with perfectionism and the pressure to meet societal expectations, while also highlighting the importance of self-compassion and resilience in the face of adversity.
