Son Pinocho

Omega's 'Son Pinocho' is a song that delves into the theme of authenticity versus pretense in society. The lyrics repeatedly contrast 'real' individuals with those who are likened to 'Pinocho'—the Spanish name for Pinocchio, the fictional character known for lying and having his nose grow as a result. This metaphor suggests that the people Omega is referring to are not genuine; they are fakes or impostors who try to benefit from what others have ('Quieren hacer paquete con lo del otro'), indicating a desire to profit from or take credit for someone else's work or possessions.

The song criticizes those who live a life of deception, pretending to be something they are not. Omega points out the futility of living a 'movie'—a life that is scripted and fake. He highlights the discrepancy between what people say and what they actually have, and the emptiness of showing off material wealth ('explotando botellas') when one cannot afford basic necessities the next day. The message is clear: life is too short to live a lie, and one should live authentically rather than putting on a facade.

Omega's lyrics also contain a cautionary note, especially for the younger generation ('chamaquito'), about not confusing real power with the appearance of power. The song serves as a reminder that when reality hits, the illusion of power and wealth will crumble, and it's important to understand and use life wisely. The repetition of the phrase 'Ellos son pinocho' emphasizes the central theme of the song, which is a call for genuine living and a rejection of falsehood.
