Cosecha Propia

El Ultimo Ke Zierre's song 'Cosecha Propia' delves into the themes of personal growth, urban decay, and the search for joy amidst a bleak environment. The lyrics open with a plea to 'sow' the 'wonders' that life offers, symbolizing the desire to cultivate happiness and positivity. The metaphor of planting seeds represents the effort to nurture and grow something beautiful in one's life, despite the surrounding challenges. The 'tiesto de vida' (pot of life) and 'patio y el día' (patio and the day) suggest a small, personal space where one can find solace and joy, akin to a garden in the midst of a concrete jungle.

The song contrasts this hopeful imagery with the harsh reality of urban life. The lines 'Que no me veo, que me mareo' (I can't see myself, I get dizzy) and 'empiezo el día con apatía' (I start the day with apathy) reflect a sense of disorientation and emotional numbness. This juxtaposition highlights the struggle to maintain a positive outlook in a world that often feels overwhelming and indifferent. The 'muertos vivientes' (living dead) with 'miradas ennegrecidas' (blackened gazes) symbolize the people around the narrator who have succumbed to this apathy, further emphasizing the difficulty of finding joy in such an environment.

Despite these challenges, the narrator remains determined to 'siembra alegría' (sow joy) and find 'la gloria' (glory). The imagery of watching the 'cielo rojo' (red sky) while 'fumando en mi balcón' (smoking on my balcony) suggests moments of peace and reflection amidst the chaos. The repeated exclamation 'Joder que puestas de sol' (Damn, what sunsets) underscores the beauty that can still be found, even in the most unlikely places. Ultimately, 'Cosecha Propia' is a poignant reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of cultivating joy, no matter the circumstances.
