que quieres ser
84 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tengo un amigo que quiere ser
entrenador de futbol y otros seria mas feliz
pintando en un estudio
Tengo un amigo que es bailarin
pero lo tiene escondido
escondido tras el pajin
y otro cigarrillo rubio
y como van a ser
lo que quieren ser
si nos ha educado el miedo
como voy a ser lo que quiero ser
si he pecado yo el primero
es jodido ver
que algo no va bien
porque se remueve el suelo
es peor tenerlo en frente
y no atreverse a verlo
tengo un amigo
que quiere ser modelo de gabana
y otro seria mas feliz
si sus padres aun se amaran
conozco gente que solo vive
para salir de marcha
y empiezo a conocerme a mi
en mi propia batalla
y como van a ser
lo que quieren ser
si nos ha educado el miedo
como voy a ser lo que quiero ser
si he pecado yo el primero
es jodido ver
que algo no va bien
porque se remueve el suelo
es peor tenerlo en frente
y no atreverlo a verlo
es jodido ver
que algo no va bien
porque se remueve el suelo
es peor tenerlo en frente
y no atreverse a verlo
y como van a ser
lo que quieren ser
si nos ha educado el miedo
como voy a ser
lo que quiero ser
si he pecado yo el primero
es jodido ver
que algo no va bien
porque se remueve el suelo




es peor tenerlo en frente
y no atreverse a verlo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Que Quieres Ser" by 84 speak of the struggles and fears of individuals who want to pursue their dreams but feel limited by societal expectations and personal insecurities. The song highlights the various aspirations of the artist's friends and acquaintances, such as becoming a football coach, a painter working in a studio, a dancer hiding behind cigarettes and a particular hairstyle, or a model wearing "gabana" clothing. However, all of them feel constricted by the fear of not succeeding, imposed by a society that prioritizes conformity over individuality.


The artist then introspects and reflects on his own journey, recognizing that he too has been held back by his own limitations and a deep-rooted fear of failure. The song's chorus reminds listeners that it is difficult to confront the fact that something is not going right, but it is even harder to ignore it and not take action. It encourages individuals to challenge their fears and pursue their dreams, breaking free from the constraints of social norms and expectations.
