Universo

Zoé's song 'Universo' delves into themes of existentialism, identity, and the human condition. The lyrics open with a declaration of the singer's lack of optimism and normalcy, setting a tone of introspection and vulnerability. The phrase 'soy del Universo' (I am from the Universe) suggests a sense of belonging to something much larger than oneself, hinting at a cosmic or spiritual connection. This idea is reinforced by the imagery of the skin adjusting and the spirit burning, symbolizing transformation and the intense, often painful, process of self-discovery.

The song also touches on feelings of weariness and desperation, as the singer expresses being 'algo cansado de esperar' (somewhat tired of waiting) and 'algo desesperado' (somewhat desperate). This emotional state is juxtaposed with a sense of hope and renewal, as the singer looks to 'renacer en tus ojos que me miran' (be reborn in your eyes that look at me) and 'despertarte con un beso en la frente' (wake you with a kiss on the forehead). These lines suggest that human connection and love can offer a form of salvation or rebirth, providing a counterbalance to the existential angst.

The final lines of the song introduce a critique of societal structures, referring to humans as 'enfermos sueltos de la planta' (sick loose from the plant) and 'otro defecto de la fábrica del capital' (another defect of the capital factory). This critique highlights the dehumanizing effects of capitalism and industrialization, portraying individuals as flawed products of a larger, impersonal system. By framing these issues within the context of the universe, Zoé invites listeners to reflect on their place in the world and the broader forces that shape their lives.
