La Tierra

Ekhymosis' song 'La Tierra' is a heartfelt plea for love, unity, and respect for one's roots. The lyrics emphasize the importance of loving the land where one was born, the mother who gave birth, and the people who share the same blood and race. The repetition of the phrase 'amala es una y nada mas' (love it, it's one and nothing more) underscores the uniqueness and irreplaceability of these elements in one's life. This message is a powerful reminder to cherish and protect one's heritage and community.

The song also touches on the theme of disconnection and the need for more love and compassion in the world. Lines like 'agua que vas por el rio, tienes mi alma en lo profundo' (water that flows through the river, you have my soul in the depths) and 'corazón que no palpita, ya esta fuera de este mundo' (heart that doesn't beat, is already out of this world) evoke a sense of longing and loss. The imagery of a dreamer’s world that traps and punishes with passion suggests a harsh reality that lacks the warmth of human connection.

Ekhymosis highlights the scarcity of love and empathy in 'la tierra del dolor' (the land of pain). The repeated call for 'corazon' (heart) signifies a desperate need for emotional depth and genuine care in a world that often feels cold and unforgiving. By urging listeners to love their land, family, and fellow humans, the song serves as a poignant reminder of the fundamental values that bind us together and the importance of nurturing these bonds to create a more compassionate and united world.
