“Why Do They Keep Us Away,” aims to empower women and all of humanity by highlighting the persistent challenges women face regarding their inclusion in various societal spheres. It is a wake-up call to all of humanity that this is an ongoing and pressing issue. The song carries a hopeful message as the images of breaking strings and chains interplay with the notion of reaching together new heights. The bilingual (Spanish and English) piece emphasizes the oneness of all people and the inseparable nature of our essential being.
"Precipicio" is a song about an inner conflict that arises in the seek for the meaning of life. The first verses describe how it feels to start this journey: being lost, the need to find answers in multiple places and not finding what is desired. When the song lead into the chorus, the music and poetry are transformed into a desired path of understanding in which there are simple and essential things such as: air, sound and fire. The conflict is finally resolved with the realization that the meaning of life is closer than one might expect.
