Nada
Cahuenga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sin saber quien soy
hasta donde voy sin saber
vuelvo a oir tu voz siento tu calor
vuelvo a oir tu voz vuelvo
ahora puedo ver el sol
que me esta quemando
pero me voy
algo se quebro para estar mejor
entre el miedo y el dolor
acercandonos alejandonos
sigo sin saber donde voy
todo se ha ido de los dos en medio del vacio
siento tu voz
veo tu voz
ahora puedo ver el sol
que me esta quemando
pero me voy
pero me voy
nada cambiara
nada cambiara
a menos que vuelva
a menos que vuelva
nada cambiara
nada cambaira
a menos que vuelva
a menos que vuelva
The lyrics to Cahuenga's song "Nada" portray the feeling of being lost and unsure of oneself, while also longing for a connection with someone else. The repetition of "hasta donde voy sin saber quien soy" (how far can I go without knowing who I am) emphasizes the search for identity and the uncertainty of direction. The singer then hears the voice of someone they feel a connection with, and although they can see the sun burning them, they are still drawn to this person.
The chorus "nada cambiara a menos que vuelva" (nothing will change unless I return) suggests that the singer is aware that they need to make a change, perhaps to reconnect with the person they hear and feel. Although the lyrics are somewhat melancholy, there is also a glimmer of hope in that the singer recognizes the potential for change and growth. It's possible that "algo se quebro para estar mejor" (something broke to be better) refers to a past relationship, and the singer is recognizing that the pain and suffering was necessary for growth.
Overall, the song seems to be about the search for identity and connection with others, the struggle to move on from past pain, and the hope for a better future.
