Insaciable

El Cuarteto de Nos, a band known for their satirical and often introspective lyrics, dives into the human condition of perpetual dissatisfaction in their song 'Insaciable' (Insatiable). The song's title itself sets the tone for a narrative about the relentless pursuit of more, regardless of what has already been achieved. The lyrics reflect a deep-seated restlessness that is characteristic of human nature, where the attainment of goals only leads to the desire for further conquests.

The song's verses depict a protagonist who, upon reaching a goal or solving a mystery, immediately loses interest and moves on to the next challenge. This relentless drive is compared to the mythological figure Sisyphus, who was condemned to eternally push a boulder up a hill, symbolizing the endless and futile pursuit of satisfaction. The chorus reinforces this idea with the repetition of 'Y siempre quiero más' (And I always want more), highlighting the insatiable and predatory nature of the protagonist's desires.

In a particularly revealing verse, the lyrics delve into the psychology behind this insatiability, suggesting that it's not greed or malice but rather 'emotional ambition' that fuels the constant craving for more. The song suggests that progress is owed to those who are never satisfied, framing the protagonist's insatiability as both a curse and a driving force. El Cuarteto de Nos uses 'Insaciable' to explore the paradox of human desire: the more we achieve, the more we realize what we have yet to attain, and this cycle of desire is both the engine of progress and the source of our discontent.
