Polar
Zo? Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Perfume de pánico
Silencio mortal
Y una lágrima de parafina
Bestia animal
La luna te mata
Se haré polvo en tus labios
Veneno de sangre fría para volar
Muy lejos y sin destino elévame
Llévame hasta la nube azul
Llévame y luego suéltame
Suéltame, que tengo celos de tí
Sexo polar
Perfume de pánico
Silencio mortal
Y una lágrima de parafina
Sangre de mar
Canciones galácticas
Nos vemos después
Algún día nos haremos luces
The song "Polar" by Zo? is a melancholic and poetic depiction of a love that is intense and passionate but also brings fear and pain. The lyrics describe a contrasting mixture of emotions and sensations, like a "polar" experience, that overwhelm the singer and create a sense of almost otherworldly existence. The first verse portrays the lover as an elusive and dangerous creature, a "beast" that can kill with a single look or a touch. The imagery of "perfume de pánico" (panic perfume) and "una lágrima de parafina" (a tear of paraffin) suggests something surreal and disturbing, like a dream or a nightmare.
The chorus introduces the idea of "celos" (jealousy) as a source of tension and conflict between the singer and the lover. While the singer wants to be taken away to a "nube azul" (blue cloud), a place of escape and freedom, they also fear losing their identity and becoming absorbed by the lover's overpowering presence. The repetition of the phrase "suéltame" (let me go) adds to the sense of struggle and desperation, as if the singer is trying to break free from an emotional addiction.
The second verse is more abstract and poetic, referring to "veneno de sangre fría" (cold-blooded poison) and "canciones galácticas" (galactic songs) as symbols of an unquenchable thirst for exploration and discovery. The line "algún día nos haremos luces" (someday we will become lights) implies a sense of hope and transcendence, as if the lover and the singer will eventually merge into a single entity and shine bright like stars in the sky.
Overall, "Polar" is a beautiful and haunting song that captures the complexity and ambiguity of love, desire, and fear. The lyrics are rich in imagery and symbolism, and the music creates a dreamlike atmosphere that enhances the emotional impact of the words.
