Song Meaning

This track paints a picture of a "genius" lost in a "concrete world" of "obtuse form," yet finding intense stimulation. The scene is set with a sophisticated dance to rock music, a stark contrast to the rigid, molecular structure of this environment. It's a place of "satisfactions of every range," but the flow that isolates this genius is described as "the crudest thing around." The central tension arises from the genius's self-imposed definition of reality, specifically his insistence on a four-sided truth. He "said that four sides he had," and even invokes Saint Cecilia for a "square." This fixation on a rigid, geometric concept seems to be the very thing that alienates him, even as he dances "backwards" and "quartered" within this self-made box. The lyrics play with the idea of "obviating" this square, suggesting that by ignoring its limitations, one can access "all the luxury you give yourself." The genius, however, remains trapped, dancing to a relentless rock rhythm, his "square" a self-imposed, "obvious" yet inescapable constraint. The repetition of "cuadrado" and "cuatro lados" hammers home this theme of confinement. Ultimately, the effectiveness lies in its abstract portrayal of creative isolation. The genius's struggle isn't just about dancing; it's about how a rigid adherence to a self-defined structure, even one as simple as a square, can paradoxically limit sensory experience and true satisfaction, despite the "ultra-sensory" environment.
