Mammona
Ankara Lyrics

The lyrics to Ankara's song "Mammona" revolve around the theme of greed and materialism. The first verse talks about how people can easily fall into the trap of believing that they can own everything they desire, but in reality, one cannot buy inner peace or contentment with material possessions. The second verse addresses the funeral rituals of the wealthy, where they are adorned with expensive clothes and jewelry and their eyes are covered with coins. However, these earthly possessions cannot provide them with honor or a good memory.

The chorus questions the reason for people worshiping material wealth and possessions. The word "mammona" refers to the biblical term "mammon", which means worldly possessions and wealth that have become an object of worship. The lyrics suggest that people should not be obsessed with material possessions and instead focus on spiritual wealth.

The lyrics are an unapologetic critique of the consumer culture that surrounds us, the idea that happiness can be bought if you just acquire enough wealth. It's a powerful message to question what really matters in life and not let our desires lead us astray.
