Tierra
Rag Men Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Death corporations are the infections of her disease.
watching her light fade to black, watching her bleed.
no one cares and no one dares to ever face the truth.
blind to the ways we abuse.
there's nothing left to do or say.
she's rotting away.
tears falling from her eyes.
but we still deny.
showing no regrets, hands around her neck we commence to squeeze.
bringing her down to her knees.
no one cares and no one dares ever to ever speak the truth.
how we all rape and loot.
and every time she starts to cry.
she's losing her life.
and every time she tries to scream.
we hear nothing.
we know you're dying inside.
we know you're dying.
we still deny. we lie.
corporate pollution is the infection of her disease.
watching as she bleeds all around me.
no one cares and no one dares, blowing off the truth.
desolate is the path that we choose.
we know you're dying inside.




we know you're dying.
we still deny

Overall Meaning

In Rag Men's song "Tierra", the lyrics paint a bleak yet urgent picture of our planet suffering from the destructive effects of corporate pollution. The first few lines convey the idea that corporations are like a disease infecting the Earth with their selfish actions. The imagery of the fading light and bleeding is a metaphor for the death of our planet as a result of our actions. The next few lines emphasize how we as humans continue to turn a blind eye to the truth of what we're doing to our planet, and how we abuse it without remorse. The chorus echoes the bleakness of the situation - nothing can be done or said, she's "rotting away".


The following verses continue to describe how we continue to ignore the truth and how we're essentially killing our planet. The line "hands around her neck we commence to squeeze" is particularly jarring and powerful - this represents how we as a society are essentially choking our planet to death with our actions, and yet we still refuse to acknowledge it. The bridge is a call to action, a plea for us to wake up and realize the impact of our actions before it's too late. But even as the song ends, the feeling is one of hopelessness - we still deny, we still lie, and the Earth continues to suffer.


Overall, Rag Men's "Tierra" is a powerful piece of music that highlights the important issue of corporate pollution and its impact on our planet. The lyrics are raw and unflinching in their portrayal of the situation, and they serve as a call to action for all of us to take responsibility for our actions and work towards a better future for our planet.
