Me Dijeron

Nito Mestre's song "Me Dijeron" delves into the struggle between societal expectations and personal authenticity. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life constrained by external pressures, where the protagonist is given a prescribed identity, way of thinking, and behavior. The opening lines, "Me prestaron una cara y una forma de pensar / Me dijeron que no diga y hasta como caminar," highlight the imposition of societal norms and the suppression of individuality. This theme is further emphasized with the lines about being given a number for identity, symbolizing the loss of personal uniqueness in favor of conformity.

As the song progresses, the protagonist begins to question these imposed norms. The chorus, "Pero creo que no / No hay nadie que me explique tu amor," signifies a turning point where the protagonist rejects the societal explanations and constraints, seeking something more genuine and profound. The love mentioned in the song represents a force that transcends the superficial and materialistic values taught by society. This love is something that cannot be explained or confined by societal rules, and it awakens a desire in the protagonist to continue dreaming and searching for true meaning.

The song also touches on the idea of doubt and questioning as a path to self-discovery. Lines like "Me dijeron que uno duda cuando empieza a preguntar" and "Me explicaron que uno vale por lo que puede mostrar" reflect the societal discouragement of questioning and the emphasis on superficial achievements. However, the protagonist's encounter with love and the realization of life's inherent magic, as expressed in "La vida es un regalo de Dios / Hay magia en cada rayo de Sol," lead to a deeper understanding that true freedom and authenticity come from within, not from conforming to external expectations.
