Nunca Nos Fuimos
Flema
Rebellion and Disillusionment: The Anthem of a Lost Generation
Flema's song "Nunca Nos Fuimos" is a raw and unfiltered portrayal of the struggles faced by a disillusioned youth. The lyrics paint a bleak picture of a generation grappling with a lack of future prospects, early disappointments, and a society riddled with drugs, violence, and unemployment. The opening lines set the tone, highlighting the pervasive sense of hopelessness and systemic failure that the youth are up against. The mention of a 'state of death' and 'hunger wages' underscores the dire economic and social conditions that fuel their frustration and anger.
The song delves deeper into the psyche of this generation, revealing a sense of resignation and a thirst for vengeance. The lyrics suggest that traditional means of coping, such as taking pills, are insufficient to address the deep-seated issues they face. Instead, the youth turn to more radical forms of expression and rebellion. The mention of planning attacks against the president and the military, burning churches, and robbing banks reflects a profound sense of disenfranchisement and a desire to disrupt the status quo. These acts of defiance are not just about causing chaos but are a desperate cry for attention and change.
The chorus, with its declaration that 'we never left but now we are back,' serves as a powerful reminder of their enduring presence and unresolved grievances. The black flag waving in the wind symbolizes their ongoing struggle and resistance. The song concludes with a poignant statement about attempting to challenge the system, even if they haven't succeeded. Flema's "Nunca Nos Fuimos" is more than just a song; it's an anthem for a generation that feels abandoned and is fighting to reclaim its voice and future.
