Casi Nunca Lo Ves

Los Pericos' song "Casi Nunca Lo Ves" delves into the superficiality and emptiness that often accompany the pursuit of fame and glamour. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has lost their humility and authenticity in their quest to be the 'star' in every situation. The reference to Hollywood and L.A. underscores the obsession with external validation and the superficial aspects of success. The line 'Perdiste la humildad para ser especial' (You lost your humility to be special) highlights the trade-off between genuine self-worth and the hollow pursuit of being extraordinary in the eyes of others.

The song also critiques the numbing effect of this lifestyle, as seen in the lines 'Cuanta anestesia que te mandás' (How much anesthesia you give yourself) and 'Garganta profunda' (Deep throat), suggesting a deep-seated denial and avoidance of reality. The repeated call to 'Abrí los ojos de una vez' (Open your eyes once and for all) serves as a wake-up call, urging the listener to see beyond the facade of glamour and recognize the more meaningful aspects of life. The mention of 'este lado al sur' (this side to the south) could be a cultural reference, emphasizing the importance of staying grounded and connected to one's roots.

The chorus, with its repetitive 'Casi nunca lo ves' (You almost never see it), drives home the message that the true essence of life is often overlooked in the relentless chase for superficial success. The song's tone is both critical and reflective, encouraging introspection and a reevaluation of what truly matters. By highlighting the ignorance and isolation that come with a glamorous facade, Los Pericos invite listeners to seek deeper, more authentic connections and experiences.
