Antes De Huir is a poetic snapshot of the moment right before escape. Natalia Lafourcade guides us through an inner forest where the singer hunts for destellos de luces — tiny sparks of hope — and hums healing melodies to calm a heart weighed down by fear. She realizes that anxiety has pushed her into a corner, dulling her senses and stealing her ability to notice life's small, tear-worthy details. Rather than bolting blindly, she vows to flip the season inside herself, trade frantic running for mindful walking, and let music nurse her wounds.
In the chorus, the plea is clear: “Antes de huir analicemos lo que nos pasó.” Before we run, let’s face what happened. The song becomes both a prayer for a lost love and a promise of personal growth. Day and night, she asks for understanding, trying to reignite the momentum and innocence that once propelled her forward. The result is an intimate anthem about confronting pain, examining our choices, and choosing self-reflection over flight — all wrapped in Lafourcade’s signature warmth and lyrical elegance.
