Gaia
Mдgo de Oz - [EMG] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Para sentir calor y dudo que al nacer, llegará a creer
Que hoy fuera a morir
Intento comprender, él porque de esta decisión
Si yo jamás odie
Me intento aferrar al valor
Pero no sé fingir
¿dónde se vende algo de compasión?
Para saciar mi soledad
¿dónde trafican con sueños de amor?
Pues quiero esta angustia dormir
Recuerdo el día en que mi libertad
No-tenia precio ni fin
En cambio hoy daba hasta la eternidad
Por ver mañana el sol salir
Me vengare y todo el mal que me hagas
Yo te lo devolveré
El hombre nunca fue dueño de gaia
Es justamente al revés
Oigo unos pasos, se quiebra mi voz
Sé que vienen a por mí
Y un sacerdote en nombre de dios
Pregunta: ¿quieres confesión?
Confieso que amé y creí en dios
De los pobres, justo y moral
Confieso que en la silla
En la que he de morir
Mi alma renacerá
Toda mi vida desfila ante mí
Tantos sueños por cumplir
No tengas miedo, no llores por mí
Siempre estaré junto a ti
Oigo los rezos, intento gritar
Me cubren para no mirar
A los ojos de una cruel humanidad
La muerte se excita, es el fin
The lyrics to Mдgo de Oz's song Gaia speak about a person who is struggling to understand why they feel the need to end their life, despite never having harbored hate towards anyone. They express a desire for compassion and the ability to escape their loneliness and anguish. The song contains reminiscences of moments in the person's life where freedom was prized and valuable, indicating that their current mindset is starkly different from how they used to perceive life. In the end, the person is being taken away for execution, but they remain defiant, vowing to take revenge on whoever did them wrong. The song carries a complex message about finding solace in the midst of hopelessness and the notion that gaia (nature) has more control over human beings than the other way around.
One interesting fact about the song is that the title, Gaia, refers to the Greek goddess who personifies the Earth. The song's lyrics revolve around the idea that people can never really own or control nature, but rather it has control over them. Another interesting tidbit is that the band was formed in Madrid, Spain, and had been active for over three decades before venturing into worldwide recognition. Additionally, the version of the song with English lyrics, entitled Giaia, is a slightly different rendition with elements of the original lyrics, but not an exact translation. The heavy metal band has released over fifteen albums and has toured extensively throughout Europe and South America, gaining millions of devoted fans over the years. The band's name, Mдgo de Oz, means the Wizard of Oz in Spanish, had been inspired by the popular children's book of the same name.
