The Flight of Ambition and Resilience in Zoé's 'Nunca'

Zoé's song 'Nunca' is a powerful anthem of self-belief and the relentless pursuit of one's dreams, despite the obstacles that may arise. The lyrics convey a message of defiance against those who say 'you can't' or try to dictate what to believe. The protagonist of the song rejects the metaphorical 'chains' that others try to impose, symbolizing the limitations and expectations that can hold one back from achieving their true potential.

The imagery of constructing 'cardboard wings' to fly towards the sun, even at the risk of 'dying from the heat,' is a clear allusion to the myth of Icarus. However, unlike Icarus, the song's character is aware of the dangers but still chooses to take the risk, emphasizing the theme of ambition and the willingness to face failure. The repeated attempts to fly, even after falling, reflect a spirit of resilience and the determination to keep trying despite setbacks.

The song also touches on themes of renewal and hope. The act of 'shaving off all the sorrows at once' suggests a desire to start anew, free from past burdens. The 'magnetos of love' being recharged could symbolize the rejuvenation of passion and motivation that fuels the character's continuous attempts to soar. Zoé, known for their psychedelic and alternative rock sound, often explores introspective themes, and 'Nunca' is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for self-renewal and the pursuit of dreams against all odds.
