Matando La Ira
Malicia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Letra y Música: M.Escobar)

Cuando vendan el aire,
cuando vendan las risas,
cuando la enorme ciencia coma por mí:
la tristeza de los que inventaron vivir.
Espero estar,
prefiero vivir
plantado en la tierra
matando la ira.
Cuando vendan el aire,
cuando vendan los sueños,
cuando el hombre no quiera triunfar
de seguro nadie se va a salvar.
Espero estar,
prefiero vivir
plantado en la tierra
matando la ira
Cuando el mundo sea el primer país
y no haya donde sufrir.
Cuando la religión deje de atrofiar
y mueran por competir.,
La suciedad de los limpios que cree en Dios
sólo por temor, por costumbre o por verdad.
Espero estar,
prefiero vivir




plantado en la tierra
matando la ira.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Malicia's song Matando La Ira express a sense of frustration and despair at the state of the world today. The opening lines describe a future where everything has been commodified, including the air we breathe and the laughter we share. The advancements of science and industry have brought little happiness to those who first sought to create a better life. The singer then declares their intention to remain grounded in the earth, killing the anger that threatens to consume them.


The second verse continues this theme of disappointment and disillusionment with society. Dreams are sold as commodities, and the pursuit of success leaves many behind. The singer recognizes that no one will be safe in such a world. They would rather stay rooted in the earth, fighting off the anger that brews inside.


The final lines of the song express a need for a different kind of world, where suffering is not a given and religion is not used to oppress. The hypocrisy of those who claim to be pure and godly is highlighted, and the singer reiterates their preference for a life lived connected to the earth and free from anger.


Overall, Matando La Ira is a powerful critique of a society that has lost sight of what truly matters. It calls for a return to simpler values and a rejection of the status quo.
