No Salvation
Jorge Salán Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel frustacion
What you want to get is reputation
Of all your efforts nobody cares
How to stop this situation that is driving you insane?
For the authentic truth there is no salvation
The abstract of your new art
Is denied by the same men
Who'll buy your creation when you are dead
Real humanist of present days
Hard working night and day
The world awaits your innovation
Before you fade away
For the authentic truththere is no salvation
Makes you feel despair
Must be inside of you there is no damnation
Make them understand
The lyrics of Jorge Salán's song "No Salvation" touch upon the frustration of the artist who strives for recognition and success, yet finds that their efforts go largely unnoticed. The lyrics convey a sense of despair as the artist struggles to break out of this cycle and make a name for themselves.
The opening lines mention "air condensation in your head again," which could be interpreted as a metaphor for feeling stuck or trapped in one's own thoughts. The artist feels frustrated by the lack of recognition for their work and the desire to gain a reputation that is not being fulfilled. The lyrics suggest that the artist's art is being denied by the same people who will buy it once they are dead, indicating that the artist is struggling with the irony of posthumous recognition.
The song recognizes the value of hard work and innovation, and the importance of staying true to oneself in the face of rejection. The phrase "for the authentic truth there is no salvation" implies that the artist's search for truth and authenticity is a never-ending process, and that the struggle to be recognized and appreciated is a universal experience. Ultimately, the song suggests that the artist must continue to create and push themselves, despite the challenges they face.
