Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Vengo de la ciudad que no quiso vivir...
Tengo alma de invierno, soy un glaciar...
Se respira la rabia, el tedio, el ladrón...
Las calles desprecian, el ruido es dolor...
Y si pudiera vivir del sol, del cielo
Y si pudiera cargar y largar...
Arriba la nube, la tapa a ¡presión...!
Abajo el asfalto, el hoyo, el ¡hedor...!
Y cuando viaje al pulmón veré tu pobreza
Y cuando vea en tu mundo ¡querré...!
¡Ruca, mi ruca!
¡Ruca, tu ruca!
¡Ruca, nuestra ruca!
¡Ruca, mi ruca!
Recíbeme Mapu, recíbeme ¡Che...!
Te ofrezco mi alma, mi fuerza, mi ¡fe...!
Siento el orgullo indómito en ti, bravura
Me entrego a tu mundo a luchar al patrón...
Siento el orgullo indómito en ti, bravura
Me entrego a tu mundo a luchar al ¡patrón...!
Y al que invada...
¡Ruca, mi ruca!
¡Ruca, tu ruca!
¡Ruca, nuestra ruca!
¡Ruca, mi ruca!
¡Ruca, mi ruca!
¡Ruca, tu ruca!
¡Ruca, nuestra ruca!
¡Ruca, mi ruca!
Tengo alma de invierno, soy un glaciar...
Se respira la rabia, el tedio, el ladrón...
Las calles desprecian, el ruido es dolor...
Y si pudiera vivir del sol, del cielo
Y si pudiera cargar y largar...
Arriba la nube, la tapa a ¡presión...!
Abajo el asfalto, el hoyo, el ¡hedor...!
Y cuando viaje al pulmón veré tu pobreza
Y cuando vea en tu mundo ¡querré...!
¡Ruca, mi ruca!
¡Ruca, tu ruca!
¡Ruca, nuestra ruca!
¡Ruca, mi ruca!
Recíbeme Mapu, recíbeme ¡Che...!
Te ofrezco mi alma, mi fuerza, mi ¡fe...!
Siento el orgullo indómito en ti, bravura
Me entrego a tu mundo a luchar al patrón...
Siento el orgullo indómito en ti, bravura
Me entrego a tu mundo a luchar al ¡patrón...!
Y al que invada...
¡Ruca, mi ruca!
¡Ruca, tu ruca!
¡Ruca, nuestra ruca!
¡Ruca, mi ruca!
¡Ruca, mi ruca!
¡Ruca, tu ruca!
¡Ruca, nuestra ruca!
¡Ruca, mi ruca!

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Well, later I will going to post my impresions, but for all yours, now I will translate you some words, but only the words in the other language, mapudungun, you must need use a translate page or something for the spanish, or wait my vacations, XD
Ruca is the house of the mapuche people, you can translate ruca to house, but I don't know if that is the best... Mapu means floor, dirt, something like that, obviusly that have a more nationalist, I don't know if that word is fine in that case, significate, but I can't explain in english... Che means people. Mapuche means something like people of the earth, mmm, people of that land... eh, that is the term for mapu (see before that), XD
Well, that is... that is... that is all, friends (mascala Porky, :P)
