No Somos Nadie

Callejeros' song "No Somos Nadie" delves into the disillusionment and superficiality often associated with rock stardom. The lyrics open with the simplicity of three chords, symbolizing the basic foundation of rock music. However, this simplicity is juxtaposed with the complex and often misleading image of being a 'rock star.' The song critiques the false sense of privilege and grandeur that some people associate with rock culture, suggesting that true rock and roll does not grant such privileges.

The song continues to highlight the absurdity of trying to live up to the 'rock star' image by consuming books and media that glorify rock culture. The line "Y esa gente linda se caga de risa de vos" (And those pretty people laugh at you) underscores the idea that the pursuit of this image is often met with ridicule from those who see through the facade. The repeated refrain "No somos nadie" (We are nobody) serves as a humbling reminder that, despite any illusions of grandeur, we are all just ordinary people.

Callejeros also touch on the harsh realities faced by those who genuinely struggle, contrasting them with the superficial struggles of wannabe rock stars. The imagery of someone breaking their bones to survive while another person is already 'broken' from their superficial lifestyle serves as a stark reminder of the real challenges people face. The song ultimately calls for self-awareness and humility, urging listeners to see through the illusions and recognize their true selves.
