La Perfección de Los Soberbios

Shaila's song 'La Perfección de Los Soberbios' delves into the themes of arrogance, social blindness, and the illusion of perfection. The lyrics pose a series of rhetorical questions, challenging the listener to consider whether a world modeled after a single individual's ideals would truly be a better place. The song opens with the question of whether one would be happy if everyone followed their lead and if their words dictated others' actions. This sets the stage for a critique of self-centeredness and the dangers of imposing one's worldview on others.

The song further explores the idea of ambition and its potential to deceive and encourage harmful behaviors. The line '¿podría abolir la ambición que engaña y alienta para aplaudir el horror que el odio orquesta?' suggests that ambition can lead to the orchestration of hatred and horror, rather than positive change. The lyrics question whether being 'gentil, puro, sin prejuicios y siempre feliz'—gentle, pure, without prejudice, and always happy—would indeed create a new, better world. This juxtaposition highlights the complexity of human nature and the difficulty of achieving true perfection.

The chorus urges the listener to think before answering, pointing out that 'la perfección de los soberbios no ve más allá de otra miopía social.' This line criticizes the shortsightedness of the arrogant, who fail to see beyond their own social myopia. The song concludes with a call to self-reflection, asking '¿que pensás?' and leaving the listener to ponder their own beliefs and attitudes. Shaila's powerful lyrics serve as a reminder of the importance of humility and the dangers of self-righteousness in the pursuit of a better world.
