Lights, camera, desire! In “Zoom,” Argentine rock legends Soda Stereo invite us behind the lens of an imaginary film set where love scenes are shot in extreme close-up. The lyrics swap classic romantic metaphors for cinematic jargon: a zoom anatómico wants to magnify every detail of attraction, a looping reel keeps the encounter replaying, and silver lips meet unforgettable steel. Picture a backstage pass to passion, complete with special effects, where everyone is “addicted to these fireworks games.”
Beneath the playful camera commands lies a sly commentary on seduction. The song reminds us that what truly entices is rarely found where we expect it, so we must adjust our focus to discover hidden thrills. By blending rock swagger with movie-set imagery, Gustavo Cerati turns intimacy into a bold art project: sensual, curious, a bit provocative, and irresistibly fun to watch. “Zoom” is both a love song and a director’s shout of “¡Luz, cámara y acción!” that dares listeners to step into the spotlight and explore the unpredictable magic of attraction.
