Nada
Rikita Banana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
abogado o lincenciado
toda mi vida he desperdiciado
y es que la gente habla pestes sobre mi
sin saber si quiera que me queda por vivir
NO ME IMPORTA
que puedan decir, yo soy lo que quiero ser
hago lo que quiero hacer no tengo mas palabras
nada ni nadie puede decidir por mi
y si no tienes nada bueno por decir
mejor no digas nada
dicen que yo no tengo solucion
y que voy caminando sin rumbo o direccion
pero al final ya me veras
bailando, gozando y cantando esta canción
The lyrics of Rikita Banana's song "Nada" convey the singer's defiance towards society's pressure to conform to certain career paths and expectations. The opening stanza dismisses the assumption that one's worth is solely based on their profession and emphasizes that despite not having a prestigious job title, their life is not wasted. The following lyrics address the criticism the singer receives from others who judge them without truly knowing them. However, the songwriter refuses to let the opinions of others dictate their life, declaring that they will do what they want and be who they want to be. The chorus emphasizes the singer's autonomy, declaring that "nothing and no one can decide for me" and encouraging those who have nothing good to say to remain silent.
The final stanza of "Nada" challenges the negative assumptions people make about the singer's future, asserting that they will ultimately succeed and enjoy life. The imagery of dancing, enjoying and singing the song serves to illustrate their resolution to defy the expectations of others and live life fully on their own terms.
Overall, "Nada" seems to be an anthem of individualism and resisting societal pressure to conform to specific norms or expectations. The lyrics express the message that it's essential to stay true to oneself, live life's adventures, and ignore the critics.
