ERMITAÑO

The song 'ERMITAÑO' by WOS is a poetic exploration of individuality and resistance against societal pressures and superficiality. The title itself, which translates to 'HERMIT' in English, suggests a theme of solitude and introspection, which is reflected in the lyrics. WOS, an Argentine rapper known for his intricate wordplay and social commentary, delves into the conflict between living authentically and conforming to societal norms.

The repeated line 'Sigue la pulsión, corazón de ermitaño' serves as a mantra, urging the listener to follow their inner drive, the 'hermit's heart,' even when suffocated by the 'fiction' that the masses have narrated. This fiction represents the false realities and expectations imposed by society. WOS criticizes the pursuit of superficial success, likening it to climbing steps to thrones without support, and warns against the homogenization of individuality, where everyone ends up with 'the same smile.'

WOS also touches on the theme of disillusionment with the modern era, referring to it as a 'millennium with a crisis of criteria,' where people are distracted by the allure of fame and material gain, symbolized by the 'great casino.' He calls for a cutting away of false beliefs, akin to a 'Katana, cutting the sotana,' possibly referencing the need to sever ties with dogmatic structures. Throughout the song, WOS advocates for staying true to oneself, finding peace and love amidst the chaos, and resisting the seductive illusions of society.
