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.
Cosas sucias
Hereford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sólo de arriba.
Poder descifrar hasta dónde va tu tormenta,
Si es tu tormenta.
Porque no podrás cargar más cosas sucias,
No podrás cargar más cosas sucias esta vez.
Deja de gritar que estoy lejos
Y estoy tan cerca, tan cerca.
No vas a encontrar esa oscuridad en mi risa,
Desde mi risa.
Más que los demás voy a separarte del suelo,
Sólo del suelo.
Podrás derramar tanto fuego entre tus dedos,
Entre tus dedos.
Hoy quiero estar contigo
The lyrics in Hereford's song, Cosas Sucias, express a desire to rise above the chaos and see things from a different perspective. The singer wants to decode the turbulence of their partner's thoughts and feelings, perhaps to offer comfort or reassurance. The refrain speaks to a limiting factor, a capacity to carry only so much baggage. The song encourages letting go of the things that burden you and instead focusing on the pure and positive things in life. The singer has distance between themself and the person they're singing to, yet they want to be close nonetheless. They are determined to lift their loved one up and be there for them no matter what.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of emotional distance, perhaps as a result of some sort of hurt or loss that has taken place. This is hinted at in lines such as "no vas a encontrar esa oscuridad en mi risa," which translates to "you won't find any darkness in my laughter." The melancholic tone is heightened with the use of a minor key, emphasizing the sense of longing and sadness. The lyrics convey a sense of wanting to be there, wanting to comfort, but feeling constrained or held back by something.
