Al caer las Murallas

Kraken's song "Al caer las Murallas" is a powerful anthem about breaking free from the constraints that bind us and embarking on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a puppet dancing on strings, symbolizing individuals who are controlled by societal norms and expectations. The reference to an 'era ya ancestral' suggests that these constraints are deeply rooted in history and tradition, making the struggle to break free even more challenging.

The song's chorus, with its repeated lines about the walls falling 'piedra a piedra' (stone by stone), serves as a metaphor for the gradual process of dismantling these barriers. This imagery of walls crumbling signifies the liberation of the human spirit and the opening up of new possibilities. The mention of 'una ventana en el cielo' (a window in the sky) further emphasizes the idea of newfound freedom and enlightenment that comes with breaking free from these metaphorical walls.

As the song progresses, it speaks to the transformation that occurs once these walls are down. The lyrics describe the birth of a 'hombre nuevo' (new man) who marches forward, discovering his destiny. This journey of self-discovery is not just about personal growth but also about connecting with others and finding a collective voice, as indicated by the line 'unir a voz y al fin sentirte... canto sublime' (unite your voice and finally feel... sublime song). The song ultimately conveys a message of hope and empowerment, encouraging listeners to take action and change their lives for the better.
