Con el paso de los años, la banda ha logrado definir un sonido que la caracteriza y diferencia de las demás bandas de rock uruguayo. Paralelamente a esto, no es solo el sonido característico el que diferencia a esta banda de las demás, sino también su público. Hereford no se ha caracterizdo por ser una banda que mueva masas. Ha logrado, en cambio, un público bastante familiar que se reencuentra en cada show.

Hereford Lyrics

Yo nunca pude entrar en razón.
Estabas aquí, yo estaba allá,
A veces la gente se conforma.
Yo nunca pude entrar en razón.
Y hoy se me escapan
Que ayer nunca te dije.
Y ahora se mancha mi alma,
Alma de dolor
Porque ya te fuiste.
Vos nunca supiste decir no,
A veces demostrabas dolor.
Tu estabas muy bien,
Yo estaba muy mal,
A veces la gente se conforma.
Vos nunca supiste decir no.
Yo nunca existí,
Yo nunca fui así,
Fui yo el que se alejó
Sabiendo que aun estabas aquí.
Pero nena,
Si sólo estuvieras aquí
The Spanish lyrics of Hereford's song 1992 express the regret and pain of a failed relationship. The singer admits to never realizing the worth of the other person and not being able to come to their senses. The distance between them created a sense of complacency, and the singer never spoke the words of love they should have. Now, they are haunted by the memory of the lost love and the missed opportunities to express their true feelings. The singer's soul is stained with pain because the other person has already left.
Throughout the song, the singer compares themselves unfavorably to the other person, who they paint as someone who never said no and sometimes showed signs of suffering. The singer, on the other hand, was in a state of constant malaise and ultimately pushed away the person who could have brought them happiness. The song's chorus is a plea for the lost lover to return, a sentiment that underscores the deep regret felt by the singer.
