No Hay Color

Kannon's song "No Hay Color" is a bold declaration of individuality and defiance. The lyrics are a raw and unapologetic expression of the band's confidence and disdain for conformity. The opening lines, "Vuelvo al trabajo, vuelvo al tajo / La expectacion sube y el nivel no bajo," set the tone for the song, emphasizing their relentless work ethic and refusal to lower their standards. The repeated phrase "mierda habeis comido" (you've eaten shit) is a stark metaphor for the mediocrity they see in others, contrasting sharply with their own perceived superiority.

The chorus, "pues somos distintos / no hay color," reinforces the theme of distinction and uniqueness. Kannon positions themselves as fundamentally different from others, with a vibrancy and flavor that others lack. The line "mi haliento huele a cerveza y el tuyo a mierda" (my breath smells like beer and yours like shit) is a vivid, almost confrontational image that underscores their rebellious and carefree attitude. This imagery is not just about literal smells but symbolizes the difference in lifestyle and attitude between Kannon and those they criticize.

The song also touches on themes of friendship, laziness, and a rejection of traditional work ethics. Lines like "esto es vagancia y amistad / y un poquito de diversidad" (this is laziness and friendship / and a bit of diversity) highlight their values of camaraderie and living life on their own terms. The pursuit of money is acknowledged, but it's clear that their primary motivation is not conventional success but rather staying true to themselves and their unique way of life. "No Hay Color" is a powerful anthem of self-assertion and nonconformity, celebrating the band's distinct identity and rejecting societal norms.
