1990

Soda Stereo's song "1990" delves into themes of disillusionment, introspection, and the passage of time. The lyrics suggest a sense of being stuck or anchored in the year 1990, a time that perhaps symbolizes a pivotal moment or a period of unresolved issues. The phrase "anclado en 1990" (anchored in 1990) is repeated, emphasizing a feeling of being unable to move forward or escape from the past. This anchoring could represent personal struggles, societal changes, or a broader commentary on the state of the world at that time.

The song also touches on the corruptibility of souls, hinting at a loss of innocence or purity. The line "Las almas son tan corruptibles" (souls are so corruptible) suggests a cynical view of human nature, where trust and integrity are easily compromised. This theme is further explored through the idea that one can only see what is on the surface, as expressed in the lines "De mi, solo lo que ves, conseguirás de mi" (from me, only what you see, you will get from me). This could imply a sense of guardedness or a reluctance to reveal one's true self, possibly due to past betrayals or disappointments.

The imagery in the song is vivid and evocative, with references to insatiable nature and the earth opening up. The line "Naturaleza insaciable, cavaré entre tus labios, hoy lloverá y se abrirá la tierra" (insatiable nature, I will dig between your lips, today it will rain and the earth will open) paints a picture of intense, almost primal emotions. This could symbolize a desire for renewal or a cathartic release, as if the natural world is mirroring the internal turmoil of the narrator. The plea of "Baby, pleaseeee" adds a layer of vulnerability, suggesting a longing for connection or understanding amidst the chaos.
