No es así

The song 'No es así' by the Spanish indie rock band SuperSubmarina delves into the emotional turmoil of feeling out of place and the struggle to find one's own path in life. The lyrics express a sense of frustration and despair when things do not go as planned, and the world seems to be against the protagonist. The repeated line 'Yo no sabré vivir así' which translates to 'I will not know how to live like this,' underscores a deep sense of incompatibility with the current state of affairs and a yearning for change.

The song's chorus, 'Y si es por aquí no podré seguir, siento que no es así, que la vida es para mí,' which means 'And if it's this way I can't continue, I feel that it's not like this, that life is for me,' reflects the search for a life that feels right and true to the individual. It's a call for authenticity and a life that resonates with one's inner self, rather than conforming to external expectations or pressures. The metaphor of wanting to re-enter a cloud from which the protagonist should never have descended suggests a desire to return to a state of happiness or innocence that has been lost.

SuperSubmarina's music often explores themes of personal introspection, love, and existential angst, and 'No es así' is no exception. The song resonates with anyone who has ever felt the dissonance between their inner world and the reality they face, and the longing for a life that aligns with their true self. It's a reminder that life's journey often involves navigating through uncertainty and finding one's own way, even when it diverges from the expected path.
