Song Meaning of “Nevera” by Dalmatino
Nevera by Dalmatino speaks of an unrequited love, a love that never truly was, and a longing for the impossible. It’s a song of regret, and sadness for what could have been, if only the other person had reciprocated the same feelings.
The opening lines of the song, “in my dreams, in my fancies, I saw a dream world with you in it”, demonstrate the way the narrator had idealized the person they love, placing them on a pedestal and hoping that they would feel the same.
When they realize this was all in vain, and that the other person is not who they thought they were, they express their pain in the lines “Your songs fly away in the wind like a bird, following the sun that’s soon gonna set.” This metaphor of the bird flying away speaks to the heartache of unrequited love that the narrator is left with, after their hopes and dreams are no more.
As the song concludes, the narrator of the song posts the thought “Who has ever loved me, and will the answer ever come?” This question unites all those who have experienced unrequited love, and ties together the message that we must all move on and reach for love that will reciprocate.
