Me Cuesta Creer

No Te Va Gustar's song 'Me Cuesta Creer' delves into the complexities of human indifference and the struggle to comprehend it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is emotionally detached and seemingly unaffected by the opinions or memories of others. The opening lines, 'Ay que frío me da tu palabra / O no te hacés entender,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the coldness and lack of clarity in the subject's communication. This coldness is not just a personal trait but is described as a 'jodida' or 'screwed-up' species, indicating a broader commentary on a certain type of person or behavior that the singer finds troubling.

The recurring theme of pride and its remnants is also significant. The lines 'Un mínimo de orgullo le debe quedar / O solo un resto de nada' suggest that even in the face of indifference, there should be some trace of pride left. However, the subject of the song appears to lack even this minimal sense of self-worth. This absence of pride and the subsequent indifference to being remembered after death is what the singer finds most perplexing. The repeated refrain, 'Pero me cuesta creer / Me cuesta entender / Que al pobre tipo no le importa / Si después de muerto nadie se acuerda de él,' underscores this struggle to understand how someone can be so detached from the world and its judgments.

The song also touches on the broader social implications of such indifference. The lines 'Tiene la cara perdida, tiene la mente vendida / Ya no se ríe de nadie' suggest a loss of identity and autonomy, possibly due to societal pressures or personal choices. This loss leads to a state where the individual no longer cares about others or how they are perceived. The singer's repeated rejection of 'la gente como vos' (people like you) further emphasizes a disdain for this kind of emotional and social detachment. In essence, 'Me Cuesta Creer' is a poignant exploration of the struggle to understand and accept the indifference and emotional detachment that some people exhibit, and the broader implications of such attitudes on personal and social levels.
