Alicia's Surreal Journey Through a Mad World

Glutamato YeYé's song "Alicia" is a surreal and satirical commentary on the absurdity of modern life. The lyrics paint a picture of a world that has lost its sense of reality, where the boundaries between fiction and reality are blurred. The character of Alicia, a reference to Lewis Carroll's Alice from "Alice in Wonderland," is used to symbolize innocence and confusion in the face of a chaotic and nonsensical world. The repeated line "Alicia vuelve al espejo que comienza la función" (Alicia, return to the mirror, the show is starting) suggests a retreat into a fantastical realm as a coping mechanism for the overwhelming madness of the real world.

The song is filled with vivid and bizarre imagery, such as "Los alquimistas pueblan los manicomios" (The alchemists populate the asylums) and "El lago Ness se oculta en una lágrima" (Loch Ness hides in a tear). These lines highlight the surreal and often contradictory nature of the world described in the song. The mention of "vampiros" and "monstruos antiguos" (vampires and ancient monsters) further emphasizes the blending of myth and reality, creating a sense of disorientation and confusion.

The chorus, with its reference to a divine hen laying a golden egg and the other hens following a rooster named Morón, serves as a metaphor for societal madness and blind conformity. The phrase "El corral se ha vuelto loco" (The coop has gone crazy) encapsulates the overall theme of the song, suggesting that the world has become a place of irrationality and chaos. Glutamato YeYé uses these metaphors and cultural references to critique the absurdity of contemporary society, urging listeners to reflect on the madness that surrounds them.
