With Teleradio Donoso's breakup, Alex started to record tracks with a clear different style, without guitars and with a strong use of synthetizers. The project called «Odisea» finally releases its record in August 2010, with «Cabros» being its first promotional single.
In September 2011, Alex Anwandter releases a new single called «Tatuaje», this time abandoning his «Odisea» pseudonym and using his real name. On October 26th, 2011, Anwandter releases «Rebeldes», his second solo album and first one released with his real name.

Alex Anwandter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que me quiero despedir
Luz de neón
Pensando en ti
Guardo un tatuaje de
Nuestra época más gris
Yo fui feliz
Fuiste feliz
Mira hacia atrás
Muchos años atrás
No éramos tan distintos
Ahora talvez
Solo queda esta noche
Y apenas nos hablamos
El mundo gira
Y yo ya casi no te veo más
Y me quiero despedir
Luz de neón
Pienso en ti
Guardo un tatuaje de
Nuestra época más gris
Yo fui feliz
Y fuiste feliz
Pegándoles
Unos, doces y tres
Pasamos nuestro tiempo
Eres perfecto
Pon tu mano en mi pelo
Y conecta el sentimiento
El mundo gira
Y nunca nos volvemos a encontrar
(Guardo un tatuaje de
Nuestra época mas gris)
Ven hacia mí
Que me quiero despedir
Luz de neón
Pienso en ti
Guardo un tatuaje de
Nuestra época más gris
Yo fui feliz
Y fuiste feliz
Na-na-nah
(Uhhh, uh-uh, uhh)
Na-na-nah
(Uhhh, uh-uh, uhh)
Na-na-nah
(Uhhh, uh-uh, uhh)
The lyrics of Alex Anwandter's song Tatuaje depict a bittersweet and nostalgic story of two people who were happy together in the past but have grown distant over time. The singer of the song invites his former lover to come to him so that he can bid farewell to their memories. The neon lights, which represent the fleeting and superficial nature of their relationship, bring back memories of a time when they were together but were not so different from each other. However, now they hardly speak, and the world keeps turning, reminding him that they will never meet again.
The "tatuaje" or tatoo is a metaphor for a shared experience that the singer carries with him like a permanent mark on his skin from their "most grey time". It represents not only the happy memories but also the painful ones that they shared, and he cherishes them both. The nostalgic tone of the song is accentuated by the repetition of the chorus, the electronic sounds, and the harmonies that evoke a feeling of longing.
