Dreamscapes and Surrealism in 'Así' by Onda Vaga

Onda Vaga's song 'Así' is a whimsical and surreal exploration of dreams and imagination. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a fantastical world where the singer would sleep behind a mountain, surrounded by hanging spiders and inflated pink hippopotamuses. This imagery evokes a sense of childlike wonder and a departure from reality, inviting listeners to escape into a dreamlike state where the ordinary rules of the world no longer apply.

The repetition of the phrase 'Yo dormiría así' (I would sleep like this) emphasizes the comfort and allure of this fantastical realm. The use of 'plástico fantástico' (fantastic plastic) suggests a synthetic, almost toy-like quality to this dream world, further enhancing the sense of playful surrealism. The chorus, with its repetitive 'Así, así, así,' reinforces the hypnotic and meditative quality of the song, drawing listeners deeper into this imaginative landscape.

The playful use of language, such as 'Olelo, olé, olé el olor' (Olelo, ole, ole the smell), adds to the whimsical nature of the song. It creates a sensory experience that goes beyond the visual, inviting listeners to engage with the song on multiple levels. Onda Vaga, known for their eclectic and genre-blending style, uses this song to showcase their ability to create a unique and immersive auditory experience. 'Así' is a celebration of the power of imagination and the joy of escaping into a world of dreams, even if just for a moment.
