Karmara

Molotov's song "Karmara" delves into the concept of karma and the cyclical nature of human actions and their consequences. The lyrics are a mix of Spanish and English, reflecting the band's bilingual and bicultural identity. The song opens with a warning about the repercussions of one's actions, emphasizing that negative deeds will eventually come back to haunt the perpetrator. This is encapsulated in the line, "de eso vas kuleka put it comes back," which suggests that betrayal and malice will inevitably return to the source. The chorus reinforces this idea with the phrase "todo lo que sube tiene que bajar," meaning "everything that goes up must come down," a clear nod to the inevitability of karmic retribution.

The song also touches on themes of peace and brotherhood, urging listeners to treat others with respect and kindness. The line "all we are sayin' is give peace a chance" is a direct reference to John Lennon's famous song, further emphasizing the universal desire for harmony. The lyrics criticize the current state of society, where people often betray and harm each other for personal gain. The phrase "man kills man- y se felicitan" highlights the absurdity and tragedy of this behavior, suggesting that humanity has lost its way.

In the second verse, the imagery of a master carrying a pitchfork and another with a sickle evokes a sense of labor and struggle. The singer expresses a desire for peace and a rejection of vengeance, stating, "de este planeta prefiero irme en paz." The song concludes with a call for self-reflection and change, asserting that true transformation comes from within. The final lines, "el cambio verdadero se encuentra en nosotros," serve as a powerful reminder that while external circumstances may be challenging, the power to create positive change lies within each individual.
