Quizas Solo Soy Un Salvaje

El Ultimo Ke Zierre's song 'Quizas Solo Soy Un Salvaje' delves into the profound disconnect between modern civilization and the natural world. The lyrics express a deep sense of alienation felt by the narrator, who identifies as a 'savage' in the eyes of the 'white man.' This term, 'savage,' is used ironically to highlight the narrator's more harmonious relationship with nature compared to the destructive tendencies of modern society. The narrator laments the loss of natural beauty and purity, symbolized by the 'frescor del aire' (freshness of the air) and the 'brillo del agua' (brightness of the water), which are not owned but are essential to life.

The song critiques the urbanization and industrialization that 'dañan mis ojos' (hurt my eyes), suggesting that the artificial environments created by humans are damaging both to the planet and to the human spirit. The narrator's connection to the earth is profound, as they 'form part of where they step' and 'love the air they breathe.' This connection is contrasted with the commodification of nature by modern society, which attempts to 'buy what belongs to no one' and 'sell what belongs to no one,' including 'their own mother,' a metaphor for Mother Earth.

The lyrics also carry a message of resilience and hope. The narrator's words are 'like stars that do not extinguish, that prevail,' suggesting that the wisdom and values of those who live in harmony with nature will endure even if their people disappear. This enduring message is directed at the 'white man,' urging them to reflect on these values and reconsider their relationship with the natural world. The song is a powerful call to recognize and respect the intrinsic value of nature, beyond its economic worth.
