La Dictadura de Las Máquinas (solitario No, Solidario Sí)

Presto Vivace's song "La Dictadura de Las Máquinas (solitario No, Solidario Sí)" delves into the profound impact of technology on human life and society. The lyrics emphasize the importance of maintaining human ideals and values in an increasingly mechanized world. The song warns against reducing human beings to mere objects or data points, urging listeners to remember that humans should be treated as ends in themselves, not as means to an end.

The song paints a vivid picture of a dystopian reality where individuals, like the character John (formerly Juan), are deeply connected to technology but isolated in their own tragic solitude. This connection to the digital world leads to a loss of genuine human interaction and solidarity. The lyrics criticize the superficiality of a society obsessed with appearances and technological hedonism, where real human connections are replaced by virtual ones, and people are discarded by the system once they lose their utility.

Presto Vivace calls for a return to solidarity and genuine human connections, urging listeners to reject the "dictatorship of the machines." The repeated phrase "Cambiá la 't' por la 'd'" (Change the 't' to 'd') symbolizes the shift from being solitary (solitario) to being supportive and united (solidario). The song advocates for a symbiotic and fraternal relationship among all humanity, emphasizing that instruments and technology should not dominate our lives. Instead, we should strive for a society where human values and connections are prioritized over technological advancements.
