NO VA A BAJAR

WOS's song 'NO VA A BAJAR' delves into the complexities of fame, personal identity, and the internal battles that come with public life. The Argentine rapper, whose real name is Valentín Oliva, is known for his introspective lyrics and his ability to blend different musical styles, from rap to alternative rock, often with a strong social and political commentary.

The repetitive chorus 'No va a bajar' which translates to 'It's not going to go down,' could be interpreted as a reference to the relentless pace and pressure of life in the spotlight. The phrase 'saliendo pal' chino a comprar' (going out to the store to buy) juxtaposed with the idea of not slowing down, suggests a mundane activity contrasted with the unceasing demands of his career. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is constantly on the move, perhaps struggling to find peace amidst chaos.

The song also touches on themes of self-destruction and the desire to escape one's own identity ('Me voy a reventarme, así nadie se entera quién soy' - 'I'm going to blow myself up, so no one finds out who I am'). WOS explores the duality of emotions, expressing both a longing to connect and a need to protect oneself from the scrutiny that comes with fame. The imagery of vomiting tar and the corruption of light within oneself suggests a battle with darker thoughts and feelings, possibly depression, which is often masked by a public persona ('Maldita esa sonrisa, que va de punta a punta / Y camufla depresión pa' que no me hagas preguntas' - 'Cursed is that smile, that goes from end to end / And camouflages depression so you don't ask me questions').
