El Condor Pasa by Simon And Garfunkel talks about a longing for freedom and simplicity, often expressed through the desire to be a bird or other animals to escape the complexities and constraints of human life. The song's key themes include freedom, natural beauty, and a sense of yearning to break free from societal pressures. Poignant moments include the repeating lines 'I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail' and 'I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet,' which reflect a deep desire for a simpler, more liberated existence.
