Piloto Automático is Supercombo’s witty yet heartfelt wake-up call for anyone who has ever felt stuck on cruise control. The narrator confesses that he has been merely existing, letting routine steer the wheel while dreams, relationships and even his own sense of purpose drift by. He imagines an inevitable day when “the autopilot will take me” and he will reach the end of the road without ever having truly taken the driver’s seat.
The chorus flips that anxiety into a bright checklist of everything he should be doing: smile more, hug his parents, travel, socialize, stop complaining, be grateful. It is a simple recipe for happiness, yet the singer admits it is “fácil de falar, difícil fazer” (easy to say, hard to do). This tension between intention and action gives the song its relatable punch. Under the playful indie-rock groove, Supercombo delivers a reminder to break out of routine, appreciate the present and make sure the people you love notice you before life speeds past your exit.
