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 hace polvo en tus labios
Se desvanece en tus pechos finos
Veneno de sangre fría para volar
(Uh huh) Muy lejos y sin destino elévame
Llévame hasta la nube azul
Llévame y luego suéltame, suéltame
Que tengo celos de ti
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
Algún día nos haremos luces
Veneno de sangre fría para volar
(Ah ah) Muy lejos y sin destino elévame
Veneno de sangre fría para volar
(Ah ah) Muy lejos y sin destino elévame
Llévame hasta la nube azul
Llévame y luego suéltame, suéltame
Que tengo celos de ti
The lyrics to Zoé's song "Polar" are full of contrasting images and metaphors that create a dreamlike atmosphere. The opening line "Sexo polar" ("Polar sex") suggests a cold and detached sexuality, while "Perfume de pánico" ("Scent of panic") evokes a thrilling and dangerous sensation. The following lines, "Silencio mortal/Y una lágrima de parafina" ("Deadly silence/And a tear made of paraffin") bring a sense of unease and fragility to the scene.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Veneno de sangre fría para volar" ("Cold-blooded venom to fly"), which seems to describe a desire to escape from reality and lose oneself in a trance-like state. The image of the moon killing the beast ("Bestia animal, la luna te mata") adds a touch of mystery and magic to the lyrics. The lines "Llévame hasta la nube azul/Llévame y luego suéltame, suéltame/Que tengo celos de ti" ("Take me to the blue cloud/Take me and then let me go, let me go/For I am jealous of you") suggest a longing for freedom and a fear of attachment.
The second verse introduces new elements, such as "Sangre de mar" ("Blood of the sea") and "Canciones galácticas" ("Galactic songs"), which widen the scope of the song's imagery. The final lines, "Algún día nos haremos luces" ("Someday we will become lights"), bring an optimistic and ethereal note to the lyrics, as if the lovers will transcend their earthly bodies and become part of the universe.
Overall, "Polar" is a poetic and enigmatic song that invites the listener to interpret its meanings in their own way. It combines sensuality and danger, stillness and movement, darkness and light, creating a surreal and captivating atmosphere.
