Nocturno de Princesa

Moris's song 'Nocturno de Princesa' is a vivid portrayal of a night filled with introspection and observation. The lyrics paint a picture of the artist sitting in a VIP section, surrounded by a diverse cast of characters, from English duchesses to familiar bartenders. The repetitive and almost hypnotic 'sha-la-la' and 'shu-du-ru-ru' phrases set a contemplative tone, suggesting a sense of waiting and aimlessness. The artist's mention of a cold Coca-Cola and the ambient noise of countless words in the air adds to the feeling of being lost in a sea of trivialities.

The song delves deeper into the artist's internal world, where he describes his surroundings with a mix of detachment and keen observation. The imagery of 'plastic flowers,' 'a fantastic record,' and 'Dracula staring at King Kong' creates a surreal atmosphere, highlighting the absurdity and superficiality of the scene. The reference to Che Guevara spinning endlessly suggests a world caught in a cycle of meaningless repetition. The artist's desire to 'destroy all words' and 'drown' them reflects a frustration with the emptiness of the conversations and interactions around him.

As the song progresses, the artist's observations become more poignant. The view through the window reveals a world devoid of children, replaced by a 'sculpture of hard aluminum,' symbolizing a loss of innocence and vitality. The mention of 'Arabs, Frenchmen, hippies, or bourgeois' further emphasizes the diversity and disconnection in the modern world. The repeated phrase 'waiting for no one, waiting for nothing' encapsulates the existential ennui that permeates the song. Ultimately, 'Nocturno de Princesa' is a melancholic reflection on the emptiness and absurdity of modern life, captured through the lens of a solitary night out.
