Lo Que Nunca Ha Sido MÍo

In 'Lo Que Nunca Ha Sido Mío,' SHARIF delves deep into the human experience, exploring themes of pain, existentialism, and the search for meaning. The song opens with a poignant declaration, 'Solo soy mi dolor,' which translates to 'I am only my pain.' This sets the tone for a journey through the artist's inner turmoil and his quest for love and understanding in a world that often feels cold and indifferent. The repeated phrase 'Lo que nunca ha sido mío' ('What has never been mine') suggests a longing for something unattainable, perhaps happiness or a sense of belonging.

SHARIF's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man walking through life, grappling with societal expectations and personal demons. He critiques the societal pressure to conform, to 'find a job' and 'fly low,' highlighting the struggle between individual desires and societal norms. The line 'El sistema quiere esclavos que pueda explorar' ('The system wants slaves it can exploit') underscores his disdain for a system that values productivity over human well-being. This critique is further emphasized by his desire for 'la pura ambrosía' ('the pure ambrosia')—a metaphor for a fleeting, almost divine happiness that seems perpetually out of reach.

The song also touches on themes of existentialism and the search for purpose. SHARIF questions the existence of a 'plan cósmico' ('cosmic plan') and finds solace in the idea that his scars have a purpose. This reflects a broader human desire to find meaning in suffering. The artist's struggle with feelings of alienation and his preference for solitude over superficial societal interactions are evident in lines like 'prefiero la soledad que estar al lado de esta humanidad de vanidad evanescente' ('I prefer solitude over being next to this humanity of fleeting vanity'). Ultimately, SHARIF's journey is one of self-discovery and resilience, as he finds happiness 'contra pronóstico' ('against the odds').
