Cósmica
Pastora
The Cosmic Journey of a Restless Soul
The song 'Cósmica' by Pastora paints a vivid picture of a restless, free-spirited individual who is constantly in motion, both physically and emotionally. The lyrics describe a person who is always waiting for something, but when it arrives, they miss it, symbolizing a perpetual state of dissatisfaction or unfulfilled longing. This character is depicted as someone who indulges in the superficial—buying the worst items in stores, starting a discotheque, and reading about new trends—yet never finds true contentment.
The chorus emphasizes the character's inability to rest, their ease in navigating life, and their aversion to spring, which could symbolize a rejection of renewal or new beginnings. The repeated phrase 'se vuelve lúdica, cósmica' (she becomes playful, cosmic) suggests a transformation into a more carefree, almost otherworldly state, perhaps as a coping mechanism for their inner turmoil. This person is described as someone who trades sleep for partying, avoids responsibilities, and disguises their failures, indicating a life lived on the edge, constantly seeking escape.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that this character's lifestyle leads to a loss of magic and belief, despite reaching high social spheres. They are portrayed as antisocial, apolitical, and agnostic, rejecting societal norms and traditional beliefs. The final lines highlight their unique, mystical nature, yet underscore their inability to say no and their constant overextension. 'Cósmica' ultimately captures the essence of a person who is both extraordinary and deeply flawed, navigating life with a blend of playfulness and existential discontent.
