The Allure of the Unattainable: A Night in the VIP
In 'Tarot,' Jhay Cortez (Jhayco) and Bad Bunny paint a vivid picture of nightlife, desire, and the pursuit of the seemingly unattainable. The song's lyrics revolve around the admiration and pursuit of a woman who stands out in the VIP section of a club. This woman is described as a 'myth' and 'art,' emphasizing her exceptional beauty and allure. The metaphor of the woman as a piece of art in a museum underscores her rarity and the privilege of being in her presence.
The lyrics also delve into the themes of luck and exclusivity. The repeated phrase 'Ojalá y tenga suerte' (I hope I get lucky) highlights the idea that not just anyone can approach or win over this woman. This sense of exclusivity is further emphasized by the line 'Porque no cualquiera puede llegarte' (Because not just anyone can reach you). The song captures the tension between the desire to connect with someone extraordinary and the uncertainty of whether that connection will be reciprocated.
Additionally, the song touches on the performative aspects of social media and nightlife. Lines like 'Si subiste una story, es pa' que te lo comenten' (If you posted a story, it's so people comment on it) reflect the modern-day reality of seeking validation and attention through social media. The interplay between real-life interactions and online personas adds another layer to the narrative, making the song a commentary on contemporary dating and social dynamics. Overall, 'Tarot' is a celebration of beauty, desire, and the thrill of the chase, set against the backdrop of a vibrant nightlife scene.
