No Da

Flema's song 'No Da' delves deep into the themes of fragility, loss, and the indelible marks left by loved ones who are no longer present. The lyrics open with a poignant metaphor, comparing the singer's emotional state to a fragile drawing on paper, emphasizing the delicate and transient nature of life and memories. This imagery sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the singer grapples with the pain of loss and the realization that some things 'no da' or 'don't work out' anymore.

The repeated lines 'No da, ahora se' (It doesn't work, now I know) reflect a moment of painful clarity for the singer. The mention of turning 23 and 33 on the day of his death suggests a preoccupation with mortality and the passage of time, highlighting how the absence of a loved one can make life feel incomplete or futile. The lyrics 'que ya vos no estas aqui y yo se por que' (that you are no longer here and I know why) indicate a deep understanding of the reasons behind the loss, adding a layer of acceptance to the grief.

The song also touches on the permanence of memories and the struggle to move on. The lines 'Estas tatuada en mi piel, y no te puedo borrar' (You are tattooed on my skin, and I can't erase you) and 'siempre te tendre en mi mente, jamas te podre olvidar' (I will always have you in my mind, I will never be able to forget you) convey the idea that the person who is gone has left an indelible mark on the singer's life. This permanent imprint makes it difficult for the singer to live without constantly thinking about the lost loved one, underscoring the enduring impact of their absence.
