016

No Relax's song "016" is a powerful anthem against domestic violence, capturing the harrowing experiences of those who suffer in silence. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the emotional and physical torment endured by victims, emphasizing the urgency of taking action. The opening lines, "Nunca pensó en abandonar, Nunca pensó en este final" (She never thought of leaving, She never thought of this ending), reflect the initial disbelief and shock that often accompany abusive relationships. The song underscores the importance of recognizing the signs of abuse and the necessity of breaking free from the cycle of violence.

The chorus, with lines like "Es el día sin amor, es la noche de los huesos rotos" (It's the day without love, it's the night of broken bones), starkly illustrates the brutal reality of domestic abuse. The imagery of red marks on the calendar and the mention of news reports about deaths serve as grim reminders of the prevalence and severity of this issue. The song calls for awareness and action, urging listeners not to remain silent in the face of injustice.

The lyrics also highlight the systemic failures that often leave victims unprotected, with lines such as "Y si las leyes quedan cortas, Siempre caen las que están de tu lado" (And if the laws fall short, They always fall on those on your side). This critique of the legal system's inadequacies reinforces the need for societal change and better support for victims. The song's closing lines, "Maldita raza que nunca se extinguirá, Es el ritual del mal, no debes de callar" (Damn race that will never go extinct, It's the ritual of evil, you must not remain silent), serve as a rallying cry for resistance and empowerment, encouraging victims to speak out and seek help.
