Jovenes Perfect@s

IZAL's song 'Jovenes Perfect@s' is a celebration of individuality and the beauty found in imperfection. The lyrics advocate for rejecting societal standards of excellence and embracing the unique quirks and flaws that make us human. By condemning the pursuit of perfection and defending the ordinary, the song encourages listeners to appreciate their singular beauty and the humanity in their imperfections. This message is particularly resonant in a world that often prioritizes superficial standards of success and beauty.

The chorus, which repeats the phrase 'Somos jóvenes perfectos' (We are perfect youth), serves as a powerful affirmation of self-acceptance. The song suggests that true perfection lies in being 'sanos, bellos, tan libres y cuerdos' (healthy, beautiful, so free and sane) in one's own way, regardless of external validation. This idea is further emphasized by the imagery of being a 'río, campo abierto, entre tanta ciudad' (river, open field, among so much city), symbolizing the natural, unconfined spirit of youth amidst the constraints of urban life.

The song also touches on the influence of external opinions and the pressure to conform. The lines 'Me contabas tus defectos, Supe que no eran verdad' (You told me your flaws, I knew they weren't true) highlight how societal expectations can distort self-perception. By recognizing that these perceived flaws are often imposed by others, the song encourages a return to self-authenticity. The final verses, 'Somos roca, somos mar abierto, Animal pluscuamperfecto' (We are rock, we are open sea, more-than-perfect animal), reinforce the idea that embracing one's true self is the ultimate form of perfection, celebrating the raw and unfiltered essence of being.
