Bestiario

Zoé's song 'Bestiario' delves into the complexities and contradictions of modern society, particularly focusing on the superficiality and artificiality perpetuated by social media and contemporary culture. The lyrics open with a call to authenticity, urging the listener not to be confused and to act with courage and responsibility. This sets the stage for a critique of the shallow and often misleading nature of online personas and the pressure to conform to unrealistic standards of perfection.

The song's chorus highlights the absurdity of the 'pseudo-new age' and 'Silicon boys,' who arrive in jets and live in bubbles of privilege. These characters are depicted as living a life of luxury and exclusivity, disconnected from the struggles of ordinary people. The mention of Instagram as a platform where 'nobody suffers' and 'pure happiness' is showcased underscores the facade of perfection that social media often promotes. The repeated phrase 'Tu pícale Like es el Cielo' (Click Like, it's Heaven) satirizes the superficial validation and fleeting satisfaction derived from social media interactions.

Zoé's use of metaphors and vivid imagery, such as 'palíndromo' (palindrome) and 'pálido cristal' (pale crystal), adds depth to the song's message. These elements symbolize the cyclical and fragile nature of the illusions created by modern society. The song also touches on themes of mediocrity and the emptiness of chasing superficial goals, as seen in the line 'Mecánica semántica, me aburre tu veloz mediocridad' (Semantic mechanics, your rapid mediocrity bores me). Through 'Bestiario,' Zoé invites listeners to reflect on the true meaning of happiness and the importance of authenticity in a world dominated by digital facades and materialism.
