Blanca Nieves + 7

Las Pelotas' song 'Blanca Nieves + 7' delves into the complexities of truth, deception, and the search for authenticity in a world filled with illusions. The title itself is a nod to the classic fairy tale 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,' but the lyrics suggest a modern, perhaps darker twist on the story. The opening lines, 'Tiempo de descubrir / Quién nos dice la verdad / Quién está mintiendo,' set the stage for a journey of discovery, questioning who is telling the truth and who is lying. This quest for truth is symbolized by the 'carroza de cristal' (glass carriage), a fragile and transparent vehicle that represents the delicate nature of truth and the ease with which it can be shattered.

The repeated questions 'Dónde estoy yo? / Dónde estás vos?' highlight a sense of disorientation and confusion, as the characters in the song struggle to find their place in a world where reality and illusion are intertwined. The lyrics 'Durmiendo, / Mintiendo' suggest a state of unconsciousness and deception, where people are either asleep to the truth or actively lying. This duality is further explored in the lines 'Cuerpos experimentándose / Temiendo que ocurra mañana,' which depict a sense of existential dread and the fear of what the future holds.

The song also touches on the idea of superficial happiness, as seen in the line 'Lamiendo la felicidad,' which translates to 'licking happiness.' This metaphor suggests a fleeting, surface-level joy that is ultimately unsatisfying. The reference to 'El programa que ves hoy / Es una droga sana' critiques the media and entertainment industry, implying that what we consume is a 'healthy drug' that numbs us to the deeper truths of our existence. The closing lines, 'Perdiendo. / Muriendo,' bring the song to a somber conclusion, emphasizing the ultimate consequences of living in a state of deception and disconnection from reality.
