La Nada
Upa! Lyrics

These lyrics are from the song "La Nada" by Upa! and they convey a feeling of despair and hopelessness in the face of adversity. The opening line "Estamos viviendo" (We are living) suggests that despite the chaos and destruction around them, the characters in the song are still alive and have to continue living. This is further emphasized by "Es lo único seguro que está sucediendo" (It is the only sure thing that is happening), highlighting the uncertainty and unpredictability of their situation.

The second verse talks about the cold seeping in through the rubble, perhaps a metaphor for the harsh realities of life that they are facing. The singer is slowly healing from their shock and trauma, and they venture out into the city. However, even in the city, they are met with resistance and hostility. The guard in blue tells them that they are just wasting their time, reinforcing the feeling of hopelessness and the idea that they are invisible and powerless.

The chorus "Somos la nada, nos tienen en la nada" (We are nothing, they have us in nothingness) encapsulates the central theme of the song. The characters are made to feel worthless and insignificant, as if they do not matter in the grand scheme of things. The song captures a sense of despair and disillusionment with the world, but it also hints at a certain resilience and determination in the face of adversity. In the end, they may be "the nothing", but they still keep going.
