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.
Vida es un juego
Hereford Lyrics

Que este juego empieza a divertirme
Cuidado tengo el as bajo la manga
Que empiece este partido por favor
Y que vayan preparando las apuestas
Tengo mi vida entera que apostar
Si es que de eso se trata todo esto
Es que la vida es un juego
Y de repente hay que apostar
Y si me caigo de todo esto
A vos te va a dar igual
Que vayan repartiendo bien las cartas
Que el suelo esta regado de cenizas
Cuidado tengo el as bajo la manga
Que empiece este partido por favor
Es que la vida es un juego
Y de repente hay que apostar
Y si me caigo de todo esto
A vos te va a dar igual.
The lyrics to Hereford's song "Vida es un juego" reflect on life and its uncertainties, likening it to a game where cards are dealt and bets are made. The song opens with the singer requesting for the cards to be dealt fairly, expressing excitement at the start of the game. The singer acknowledges that they hold an ace up their sleeve, teasing their opponents with their confidence.
The second verse reveals that the stakes in this game are high for the singer, as they have their whole life on the line. They acknowledge that this is how life works - where everything is a gamble, and winning or losing doesn't change the game's ultimate outcome. The chorus emphasizes this idea, stating that life is indeed a game, and we must take risks and make bets, even if we fall.
The song's repetitive nature underscores the idea that life is cyclical and unpredictable, and the only constant is our willingness to play the game. Furthermore, it suggests that even when we lose, life goes on, and nobody will care.
Overall, "Vida es un juego" serves as a metaphor for our existence, and the song's lyrics are thought-provoking, urging us to live life to the fullest and take risks, even if we might fail.
