Superbia

The song 'Superbia' by Sôber delves into the themes of human greed, the fleeting nature of time, and the urgent need for reflection. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world on the brink of destruction, driven by the insatiable avarice of humanity. The opening lines, 'Resuelve la ecuación, mirando hacia el futuro / Sagrada impunidad que hoy pende de un hilo,' suggest a precarious balance where the future hangs by a thread, and the sacred impunity that humans have taken for granted is now at risk.

The chorus, 'Quizá la avaricia de la raza humana hará que todo se pierda / Tal vez la caricia de la destrucción nos hará reflexionar,' underscores the central message of the song. It posits that human greed may lead to the loss of everything, but perhaps the touch of destruction will force humanity to reflect and change its ways. This duality of destruction and reflection is a powerful metaphor for the potential for growth and change that can arise from dire circumstances.

The imagery of 'Gotas de sudor ancestros derramaron, / por un mundo mejor, por un ambiente claro,' evokes the sacrifices of past generations who worked for a better world. However, the song laments that these efforts may be in vain if humanity does not heed the warnings and change its course. The repeated line, 'Se nos acaba el tiempo, ya presionaron el botón de la cuenta atrás,' serves as a stark reminder of the urgency of the situation, emphasizing that time is running out and action must be taken immediately to prevent further loss and destruction.
