Masa Anestesiada

Hermetica's song "Masa Anestesiada" is a powerful critique of environmental degradation and societal apathy. The lyrics express outrage over the introduction of nuclear waste into previously untouched and pristine lands. The imagery of a 'clean soil' and 'final corner' being contaminated with 'nuclear trash' and 'mortal infection' serves as a stark metaphor for the irreversible damage caused by industrial and nuclear pollution. This is not just a lament for the environment but a broader condemnation of the destructive tendencies of modern civilization.

The repeated plea, "No echen sobre mi su error" (Don't throw your mistake on me), underscores a deep sense of injustice and a refusal to bear the consequences of others' actions. The song criticizes those in power who, through their 'deviation,' impose their errors and moral failings on the innocent. The 'enormous cross' symbolizes the heavy burden of these mistakes, which obscure the 'light' or truth, further emphasizing the theme of corruption and moral decay.

The phrase 'la gran masa anestesiada' (the great anesthetized mass) highlights societal complacency and self-centeredness. The masses are depicted as being lost in egoism and escapism, indifferent to the grave issues at hand. This anesthetization represents a collective numbness to the environmental and social crises, suggesting a need for awakening and action. Hermetica's raw and direct language serves as a call to consciousness, urging listeners to reject passivity and confront the injustices imposed upon them and their world.
