Astronauta

The song 'Astronauta' by Pereza delves into the feelings of alienation and the struggle to fit into a world that feels abnormal. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who feels out of place, likening themselves to an astronaut navigating an unfamiliar and strange world. This metaphor of being an astronaut highlights the sense of isolation and the difficulty in connecting with the surrounding environment and people. The repetition of the phrase 'todos están mal' (everyone is wrong) underscores a pervasive sense of disillusionment with society and its norms.

The song also touches on the theme of change and the frustration that comes with it. The lyrics mention how everything and everyone changes, yet the protagonist feels stuck in a cycle of winning and losing, making promises to change but finding it hard to follow through. This reflects a common human experience of striving for self-improvement and the constant battle against inertia and societal expectations. The line 'cambiamos el mundo de noche en un bar' (we change the world at night in a bar) suggests a fleeting sense of empowerment and the temporary nature of such resolutions.

Despite the feelings of alienation and frustration, there is a call to action in the song. The repeated urging to 'canta conmigo y despierta' (sing with me and wake up) serves as a rallying cry for awakening and taking action, regardless of societal judgment. The protagonist's indifference to others' opinions ('a mi me da igual') signifies a desire for authenticity and self-expression. This blend of existential angst and a call for awakening makes 'Astronauta' a poignant reflection on the human condition and the quest for meaning in an often bewildering world.
