Circuitos de Lujo

Pastora's song 'Circuitos de Lujo' delves into the complex interplay between human emotions and the mechanized world. The lyrics present a protagonist who describes themselves as a 'machine,' designed to experience pleasure and desire. This metaphorical machine is not just a cold, unfeeling entity but one that is deeply intertwined with human experiences, such as joy, desire, and even the need for reprogramming. The repeated assertion 'Soy una máquina' (I am a machine) underscores the tension between human vulnerability and the relentless pursuit of pleasure.

The song's lyrics highlight the protagonist's constant state of desire and dissatisfaction. Lines like 'Siempre deseo lo que no tengo' (I always desire what I don't have) and 'Soy un vaso lleno de agua y de sal' (I am a glass full of water and salt) reflect a perpetual longing and an insatiable thirst for more. This endless cycle of wanting and acquiring, only to want more, mirrors the consumerist culture and the emotional void it often leaves behind. The imagery of 'circuitos de lujo' (luxury circuits) suggests a life adorned with superficial pleasures, yet lacking in deeper fulfillment.

Moreover, the song touches on the theme of disconnection. The protagonist is 'siempre dando dando, y no puedo desconectar' (always giving, giving, and I can't disconnect), indicating a relentless output of energy and emotion without respite. This inability to disconnect, coupled with the desire to 'reprogram' or 'decode' oneself, speaks to the modern struggle of finding balance and authenticity in a world that demands constant performance. The song's closing lines, expressing a readiness to 'descodificarse de una vez' (decode oneself once and for all), suggest a yearning for liberation from these self-imposed circuits of luxury and a return to a more genuine state of being.
