The chorus of Mistol's song Nada repeats the word "nothing" (nada) four times in succession. The sound of the word is used for its rhythmic and tonal qualities, emphasizing the emptiness and emptiness of feeling that the singer is experiencing. The verses take this sense of nothingness into deeper emotional territory by contrasting the past and present, and the desires and needs of the singer. In the first verse, something present (algo presente) fades away (se borra), then something new (dibuja) colors (me tiñe) and bathes (me baña) the singer. This could be interpreted as a change in the singer's emotional state - what was there before has disappeared and has been replaced by something new, though it is hard to tell if this is a positive or negative development.
The second verse refers to something past (algo pasado), and a person who both forgives (perdona) and takes away (te resta) while also adding (te suma). Again, there is a striking sense of ambivalence here in terms of whether the singer considers the person in question to be beneficial or harmful. In both verses, the refrain emphasizes that the singer wants nothing - not attention, affection, or love. This repetition of the word "no" near the end of the song creates a strong sense of finality, suggesting that the singer has reached an emotional impasse and does not wish to be brought out of it.
