Hoy

The song 'Hoy' by Teenangels, a pop group that emerged from the Argentine television series 'Casi Ángeles,' is a powerful expression of the desire for authenticity and freedom in a world that often feels oppressive and dishonest. The lyrics convey a strong refusal to be blinded by the falsehoods of society, and a determination to live a life filled with dreams and personal truth.

The repeated lines about not wanting to be caught, to lose one's signal, to have wings cut, or to lose freedom, emphasize the importance of maintaining one's individuality and autonomy. The song speaks to the inner struggle of the individual against the external forces that attempt to constrain and define them. The imagery of being 'tan triste,' 'tan solo,' and 'con miedo' paints a picture of isolation and fear that can accompany the fight for personal integrity.

The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, with its references to a time of violence and wild rebellion, suggesting a world in turmoil where no one is stepping up to heal the wounds. The personal pain of not being able to find or guide someone, and the realization that they are 'del otro lado,' or on the other side, dressed in lies, adds a layer of personal betrayal to the broader societal critique. 'Hoy' is a call to resist the pressures to conform and to stand against the tide of deceit, even when it means facing the world alone.
