Gustavo Cerati’s “Deja Vu” invites you into a hypnotic carousel of repeated moments, half-remembered dreams, and optical tricks of time. The Argentine rock legend paints a vivid scene where we leap “de fuego en fuego”—from one blazing experience to the next—only to recognize familiar patterns that make us question reality. Cerati uses imagery like a melting clock (a wink to Dalí) and nonexistent places that strangely feel known, suggesting that life can feel like a looped track where every chord, sight, and sensation has already played before.
Beneath the swirling guitars, the lyrics ask whether we can ever truly capture fleeting pleasure or if we are doomed to watch it slip away and repeat. The song becomes a playful yet philosophical reminder to stay awake within the loop: notice the recurring signs, embrace the déjà vu, and maybe find new meaning in what seems predestined. In short, “Deja Vu” turns the familiar into something thrilling and urges listeners to dance with the uncanny feeling that everything has happened—yet is happening—for the very first time.
