No Soy Bandera De Nadie
OBK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tu no eres la imagen ni el causante de esta canción,
Yo no soy culpable de ser centro de tu atención.

No quiero ser tu tabla de salvación,
No quiero ser bandera que se quemó.

No porque no, piénsatelo,
Quien dispara primero no soy yo.
No porque no, sé que es peor,
Tu viaje al infierno lo pago yo.

Has cambiado el nombre y hasta el modo de caminar,
Has buscado alguien que te diera seguridad.
Y yo no soy la sombra de la razón,
Y yo no soy batuta de tu ilusión.

No porque no, piénsatelo,
Quien dispara primero no soy yo.
No porque no, sé que es peor,
Tu viaje al infierno lo pago yo.
No tengo cerillas que iluminen tu oscuridad,
Abre tú la puerta de la duda de par en par.

No quiero ser tu padre una vez más,
No quiero ser ejemplo de la verdad.
No porque no, piénsatelo,
Quien dispara primero no soy yo.




No porque no, sé que es peor,
Tu viaje al infierno lo pago yo.

Overall Meaning

In the opening lines of OBK's song "No Soy Bandera De Nadie", the singer speaks directly to someone who served as the inspiration for the song. The singer clarifies that this person is not the reason for the song or its subject matter. The singer also levels with the listener, stating that they don't want to be the center of their attention or the person they rely on for salvation. The singer then uses the metaphor of a burnt flag to represent how they don't want to be someone who is used up and discarded.


The chorus talks about how the singer is not the one who is causing the conflict between the two, and urges the other person to consider that before acting impulsively. They note that if the other person starts a fight, they will be the ones who suffer the consequences. The second verse highlights the changes that the other person has made, trying to find someone who can offer them security. The singer makes it clear that they are not willing to be a crutch or a puppet for someone else's illusions. The final verse concludes the song's story by saying that the singer cannot be someone else's parent or the guiding light for their truth.
