Mundo artificial

Vico C's song 'Mundo Artificial' delves into the superficiality and deceit inherent in a materialistic society. The narrative follows the protagonist, who, in an attempt to fit into a world of wealth and status, fabricates a false identity. He borrows a car, wears his best clothes, and even lies about his background to impress a girl from a higher social class. This initial deception sets the stage for a series of events that highlight the emptiness and artificiality of such a lifestyle.

The protagonist's journey is marked by a constant struggle to maintain the facade of wealth. He spends all his savings and works tirelessly to keep up appearances, all for the sake of being accepted by his 'rich friends' and the girl he is trying to impress. The song poignantly captures the protagonist's internal conflict and the lengths he goes to in order to be part of this 'artificial world.' The repeated refrain 'Mundo artificial' underscores the central theme of the song, emphasizing the hollowness of a life built on lies and materialism.

The climax of the song comes when the protagonist's economic situation deteriorates, and he can no longer sustain the illusion of wealth. His relationship with the girl, which was based on false pretenses, falls apart when she discovers his true financial status. The girl's immediate rejection and return to her wealthy ex-boyfriend serve as a stark reminder of the superficial values that dominate this 'artificial world.' Vico C uses this narrative to critique a society that prioritizes material wealth over genuine human connection, ultimately revealing the emotional and moral bankruptcy of such a lifestyle.
