Gigantes de Hierro
Red Wine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Augurios lanzados al viento
Presagian el fin
De una tierra repleta de vida
Rodeada de azul

Desiertos que profundos y amplios son
Y su color tiñéndose está
GIGANTES DE HIERRO SON
MUERTE EXTENDERÁN
Y UN MANTO DE OSCURIDAD
A LA VIDA PONDRÁ SU FINAL

Guardianes en vez de verdugos
Deberíamos ser
Del gran lago que nos rodea
Que nos ve crecer





De su interior tendremos que subsistir
Se extinguirá la luz en el mar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Red Wine's song "Gigantes de Hierro" speak of ominous omens that foretell the end of a once-thriving land surrounded by blue skies. The deserts are vast and deep, and they are tinged with color, suggesting that something terrible is set to happen. The impending doom is palpable as the "Gigantes de Hierro," which can be interpreted as a metaphor for large, destructive machines or as a symbol of oppression, will bring about death and darkness, bringing an end to life as people know it. The lyrics are a commentary on the exploitation of nature and the consequences of allowing greed and a desire for power to go unchecked.


The song highlights the need for people to become guardians, not executioners, of the world around them. Rather than exploiting nature for personal gains, it's important to be mindful of the impact our actions have on the environment. The great lake that surrounds them is a source of life, and it's up to people to protect it, so they can continue to live and grow. In the end, the lyrics suggest that people's survival will depend on the resources they derive from the lake because the sea will fall into darkness, making it impossible to thrive.
