Moirè

In 'Moirè,' Soda Stereo crafts a surreal and introspective journey that delves into themes of escapism, inner peace, and the duality of human emotions. The song's title, 'Moirè,' refers to a visual effect that creates a pattern of interference, symbolizing the complex and often conflicting emotions that the protagonist experiences. The opening lines, 'Me siento tan laxo, me siento moiré,' suggest a state of relaxation and disorientation, as if the narrator is floating in a dreamlike state. This is further emphasized by the mention of 'pastillas de zen instantáneo,' which implies a quick fix to achieve a sense of calm and detachment from reality.

The lyrics also touch upon the idea of pain and its transient nature. The line 'El dolor clandestino se desvanece' indicates that hidden pain is fading away, possibly due to the calming effects of the 'zen pills.' The imagery of a 'cuarto menguante' (waning moon) softening the narrator's voice adds to the ethereal and tranquil atmosphere of the song. This celestial reference suggests a connection to the natural cycles and the passage of time, further enhancing the sense of fleeting emotions and experiences.

As the song progresses, the narrative shifts to a more introspective and isolated space. The line 'Cerrá la escotilla nena que no hay gravedad' creates a sense of being in a spaceship, detached from the world's chaos. The distant thunder and the world turned upside down ('el mundo al revés') reflect the external turmoil that contrasts with the narrator's inner peace. The juxtaposition of 'ODIOS vs TE AMO' highlights the duality of love and hate, and the exclamation 'OH DIOS TE AMO' underscores the intensity and complexity of these emotions. Through 'Moirè,' Soda Stereo invites listeners to explore the delicate balance between serenity and chaos, love and hate, and the transient nature of human experiences.
