No Lyrics

Cover art for No lyrics by Shakira

To me this song is about letting go of all the pain & bitterness from a failed relationship. She is saying that you cannot live with so much venom inside of you and it's heavier on your soul than the weight of cement. Metaphor of course.

It seems as if she was with this guy for a while but he wasn't moving further ahead and she felt like time was going by and she was wasting her time. She says in the song," I hope you don't expect me to wait for you past the age of 26." So, she's telling him to leave her alone because she is vulnerable and does have feelings for him but No, she's got to let him go and let go of the pain but in order for her to do this he needs to disappear from her life.

Make sense? lol
