Me da Igual

Callejeros' song 'Me da Igual' captures a raw and unfiltered sense of indifference and resignation towards life's unpredictable nature. The lyrics reflect a protagonist who is unfazed by external circumstances, whether it's the weather, the absence of a bus, or the lack of a clear path in life. This attitude of 'me da igual' (which translates to 'I don't care') is a powerful statement of detachment and acceptance, suggesting a life lived without the burden of expectations or societal pressures. The protagonist's journey is marked by a carefree approach, where the lack of understanding and the absence of strict rationality are embraced rather than feared.

The song delves deeper into the theme of indifference by highlighting the protagonist's personal struggles and their nonchalant attitude towards them. The lines 'Porque tengo problemas y no tengo soluciones' ('Because I have problems and no solutions') and 'Soy tan vago que no quiero ni pensarlo' ('I'm so lazy that I don't even want to think about it') reveal a character who is aware of their issues but chooses not to dwell on them. This perspective is further emphasized by the realization that winning, losing, or drawing in life's challenges holds the same value, indicating a profound sense of existential acceptance.

In the final verses, the protagonist's indifference extends to their personal relationships. The desire for someone to come and find them is coupled with the admission that they cannot change for anyone else. This honesty about their inability to change, despite the longing for connection, underscores the depth of their resignation. Callejeros, known for their rock and roll style infused with social commentary, uses 'Me da Igual' to paint a vivid picture of a life lived on one's own terms, free from the constraints of societal expectations and personal ambitions.
