Pantalla del mundo nuevo

The song 'Pantalla del mundo nuevo' by Riff paints a picture of a dystopian society, where technology and dehumanization have taken over. The lyrics describe a city in a 'new world' that is asleep in a false sense of peace, with its inhabitants living life through a video screen, suggesting a loss of direct experience and reality. The mention of gas masks and expired oxygen indicates a polluted and possibly toxic environment, both physically and metaphorically, where the truth and authenticity have been eroded.

The song continues to depict a society on the brink of collapse, with 'disident humanoides' (dissenting humanoids) and 'heroic survivors' ready to strike back, implying a resistance against the oppressive forces of this new world. The 'hunger for truths' that have gone missing speaks to a deep yearning for genuine connection and reality amidst the chaos. The 'hordes of bad boys' with leather jackets and shining metals could symbolize a counterculture or rebellion against the sterile, controlled environment of the new world.

Riff's lyrics also touch on the theme of media manipulation, with the repeated line about the screen telling the story over breakfast, hinting at the pervasive influence of media in shaping public perception and the potential for misinformation. The song ends with a grim warning to the 'human of the past,' suggesting that the changes to come will be disastrous and that the 'new world' will be left used and exhausted. The laughter at the end serves as a cynical commentary on the state of the world.
