"Para sa Masa" (English: "For the Masses") is a song by the Philippine alternative rock band Eraserheads.
[2] "Para sa Masa" was described by critics as being written "to appease and win back" the band's fans after the mixed reception to their previous album Fruitcake (1996).
[3] It was also considered their unofficial farewell song, with lyrics interpreted as "a love letter with thinly veiled admonition...for the band’s effort and failure to lift the masses and their musical taste.
It’s like me telling the masses, ‘I am your savior, but you don’t want to be saved.”[4] He continued that he wrote the song at a turbulent time: “The whole circus of media started to get into me.
And I started blaming the audience for not being in tune with what I’m doing.”[4] A music video for “Para sa Masa” was produced and filmed for the GMA Network TV special “Sigla ng Siglo” commemorating the Philippine Centennial in June 1998.
