Kraken's song 'América' is a powerful ode to the continent of America, celebrating its rich cultural heritage and deep emotional connection to its people. The lyrics are a declaration of pride and identity, emphasizing the artist's refusal to hide his feelings or remain silent about the truths he holds dear. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines 'No ocultaré mis sentimientos / ¡No callaré lo que es tan cierto!' which translate to 'I will not hide my feelings / I will not be silent about what is so true!'. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which is a passionate affirmation of belonging and identity.

The song delves into the historical and cultural roots of the continent, with references to its past and the enduring spirit of its people. The lyrics 'Tengo pasado e identidad / De aquí soy / Y aquí pertenezco' ('I have a past and identity / I am from here / And I belong here') highlight a deep connection to the land and its history. The imagery of eagles singing and silver serpents in the 'tierra de fuego' (land of fire) evokes the mystical and majestic aspects of the continent, suggesting a land rich in natural beauty and cultural symbolism.

'America' is portrayed as the essence of the artist's being, a source of dreams and strength. The repeated refrain '¡América! / Esencia de mi ser / Razón y nombre es' ('America! / Essence of my being / It is reason and name') underscores the profound impact of the continent on the artist's identity. The song is both a personal and collective anthem, resonating with anyone who feels a deep connection to their homeland. The use of powerful metaphors and vivid imagery creates a sense of unity and pride, making 'América' a timeless tribute to the continent and its people.
