Annotations and Meaning

"Karera" marks a new era and sound for P-pop girl trio BINI. In true return style, the inspiring song encourages listeners to live life at their own speed and avoid stressing about uncontrollable things.

Lyrical Analysis

The song begins with Stacey's line, in which she muses on periods of self-doubt and anxiety over uncontrolled aspects of life. This sets the tone for the track's general subject, which is about living life slowly and not treating it like a race. In the pre-chorus, Jhoanna questions the necessity of hurrying, emphasizing that there is no need to run fast in life. This notion is reflected in the chorus, performed by Gwen and Colet, who dispel the myth that one must be ahead, emphasizing that beginning over every morning is a success in and of itself. The post-chorus, performed by Mikha and Maloi, reiterates the fundamental message: "Life is not a race," encouraging listeners to take things gently and not worry too much. Aiah's verse adds depth by urging us to breathe and rest, emphasizing the need of handling things one at a time. Colet's pre-chorus reiterates preceding thoughts, stressing the notion that there is no haste in life. Sheena and Maloi's chorus highlights the importance of going at one's own pace, while Gwen and Jhoanna's post-chorus reminds us that life is not a competition. The interlude provides a melodic breather with vocal harmonies from Colet, Gwen, Jhoanna, and Maloi, emphasizing the song's relaxing and reassuring theme. Stacey and Mikha's verse kicks off a brief rap piece, addressing life's challenges and lies but finally warning against competing in a race that does not exist. The message is clear: take it gently and quietly. The refrain, sung by several members, emphasizes the idea that life has no fixed speed. Whether slow or fast, as long as one breaths deeply and remembers to regulate their own steps, they will not stumble. The song ends with a unified chorus from all members, giving the enduring message that life should be lived at a leisurely pace, free of unnecessary haste and pressure.

Karera Song Lyrics

Karera by BINI

[Verse 1: Stacey]
Minsan ay nahuhuli ang sarili na
Nag-aalala, ah
Mga bagay na 'di kontrolado pinoproblema
Pero teka lang

[Pre-Chorus: Jhoanna]
Meron bang humahabol sa'yo? (Oh-oh, ooh-woah, oh-oh, ooh-woah)
'Di naman dapat matulin ang pagtakbo, ooh-woah, ooh-woah, oh

[Chorus: Gwen, Colet]
Sino bang nagsabi na kailangan kong mauna?
Hindi naman ito karera, pwedeng magdahan-dahan
Sa bawat panibagong umaga
Ang pagsimula muli ay isang tagumpay na

[Post-Chorus: Mikha, Maloi]
Oh, oh-oh-oh
'Wag mag-alala, buhay ay 'di karera
Woah, oh-oh, oh, ooh-woah
Dahan-dahan lang, buhay ay 'di karera (Buhay ay, oh-oh)

[Verse 2: Aiah]
Minsan ay nalilimutang huminga sandali
Magpahinga lang saglit (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
At 'di kailangang magmadali para magwagi
Pwedeng unti-unti
[Pre-Chorus: Colet]
Wala namang humahabol sa'yo (Oh-oh, ooh-woah, oh-oh, ooh-woah)
'Di naman dapat matulin ang pagtakbo, oh

[Chorus: Sheena, Maloi]
Sino bang nagsabi na kailangan kong mauna?
Hindi naman ito karera, pwedeng magdahan-dahan
Sa bawat panibagong umaga
Ang pagsimula muli ay isang tagumpay na

[Post-Chorus: Gwen, Jhoanna]
Oh, oh-oh-oh
'Wag mag-alala, buhay ay 'di karera
Woah, oh-oh, oh, ooh-woah
Dahan-dahan lang, buhay ay 'di karera

[Interlude: Colet, Gwen, Jhoanna, Maloi]
Oh-woah, oh, woah, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ah, ah-ah, yeah, yeah
Buhay ay 'di, oh-oh, 'di karera
Buhay ay 'di karera, oh-oh

[Verse 3: Stacey, Mikha]
Hey, hey, BINI
Maraming beses nangamba, nadapa, tumaya
Naniwala sa mundong madaya, uh
Ano nga ba? Sino nga ba? Ikaw ba? O ako ba?
Hinay lang, 'wag mabahala-hala (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Yah, 'wag ka nang maniniwala sa paniniwala
Na dapat makipag-unahan sa karera
Kung wala namang karera, dahan-dahan, tahan lang
Kakayanin umpisa pa lang
[Chorus: Maloi, Jhoanna]
Sino bang nagsabi na kailangan kong mauna?
Hindi naman ito karera, pwedeng magdahan-dahan
Sa bawat panibagong umaga
Ang pagsimula muli ay isang tagumpay na

[Post-Chorus: Sheena, Colet]
Oh, oh-oh-oh
'Wag mag-alala, buhay ay 'di karera
Woah, oh-oh, oh, ooh-woah
Dahan-dahan lang, buhay ay 'di karera

[Refrain: Aiah, Mikha & Stacey, Gwen & Sheena, Colet, *Maloi*, *Jhoanna*]
Walang masyadong mabagal, walang mabilis
Sa pagtakbo ng buhay, hindi ka mimintis
Hingang malalim lang at tandaan
Ika'y may hawak ng iyong hakbang
Walang masyadong mabagal, walang mabilis (Oh)
Sa pagtakbo ng buhay, hindi ka mimintis (Oh)
Hingang malalim lang at tandaan (Oh)
Ika'y may hawak ng iyong hakbang (Buhay ay 'di karera)
Walang masyadong mabagal, walang mabilis (Oh, oh)
Sa pagtakbo ng buhay, hindi ka mimintis (*'Wag mag-alala*)
Hingang malalim lang at tandaan
Ika'y may hawak ng iyong hakbang (*Yeah, yeah*)
Walang masyadong mabagal, walang mabilis (*Ooh, ooh*)
Sa pagtakbo ng buhay, hindi ka mimintis
Hingang malalim lang at tandaan
Ika'y may hawak ng iyong hakbang
[Outro: All]
Dahan-dahan lang, buhay ay 'di karera
