Overall Meaning

In "La Esquina del Mundo," the lyrics depict a physical location: a street corner on the border of Latin America. The line that marks the border of the two regions is described as separating "the people" and "the stone." The song highlights the tumultuous history of the region, referencing scars that have not healed and Latin America's "open veins." The use of the phrase "open veins" is a reference to Eduardo Galeano's classic work on the economic exploitation of Latin America by European powers. The lyrics lament the ongoing violence and conflict in the region, particularly in reference to the United States' involvement.


The song's chorus is repeated three times, emphasizing that the war between the "38 special" (referring to a type of gun) and the "bars and stripes" (referring to the American flag) rages on. The lyrics capture a sense of hopelessness in the ongoing struggle for peace and stability in the region, particularly as it relates to American imperialism.


Overall, "La Esquina del Mundo" is a powerful and poignant commentary on the ongoing conflicts in Latin America. It examines the region's fraught history and the ongoing impact of exploitation and violence.
