Pantalla Del Mundo Nuevo

Pappo's song 'Pantalla Del Mundo Nuevo' paints a vivid and unsettling picture of a dystopian future. The lyrics describe a world where the city, representing modern civilization, is lulled into a false sense of peace, living life through screens and videos. This detachment from reality is highlighted by the line 've la vida en un video y se le va la vida, creo,' suggesting that people are losing their lives to the virtual world. The use of gas masks and expired oxygen further emphasizes the artificial and decaying nature of this so-called 'new world.'

The song also touches on themes of rebellion and survival. 'Humanoides disidentes' and 'heroicos sobrevivientes' suggest that there are still those who resist the oppressive system, living in a state of constant alert. These rebels are portrayed as the last hope for overthrowing the corrupt order, ready to deliver the 'golpe final.' The imagery of 'hordas de chicos malos' with leather jackets and shining metals evokes a sense of youthful rebellion, challenging the status quo of this new world.

The recurring mention of 'la pantalla' (the screen) as a source of information and the line 'es probable que no quede ninguno' (it's likely that none will remain) underscore the bleakness of this future. The song ends on a grim note, wishing 'mucha suerte' to the 'ser humano del pasado,' implying that the changes to come will be catastrophic and irreversible. Pappo's lyrics serve as a cautionary tale, warning of the dangers of losing touch with reality and the potential consequences of unchecked technological and societal advancements.
