The Universal Lyrics

This is the next century
Where the Universal's free

    This video is based on The Clockwork Orange, a futurist film that took place in Britain. The main topic is that the human being is naturally good but society make him bad and that you cant change the essence of someone, it's better being bad for naturality than pretending it.
    In the video there's some holograms that represent the different circunstances of each character:
    - the woman with men trying to provocate them is that she thinks she is free but actually she is not
    - the boy with the two girls in a kimono shows lujury
    - the two friends drinking the blue thing, homosexuality
    - the people out the bar, society, ourselves
    The song talks about the next century, nothing special, it has been sold, we only think in new technologies, when the universal is things like love, friendships and feelings. Not something material
