Singer Adrián Rodríguez, keyboardist Uma-T, guitarist Mariano Roger Sónico, bassist Gabo, percussionist Diego Uma, and drummer Diego Castellano recorded Pasto in 1992. That album included their hit song called "De-generación." As the popularity of this Latin rock group was growing, chances to play along with major bands came soon. In 1994, Babasónicos was the opening act to INXS, Soul Asylum, and Depeche Mode. That same year, Trance Zomba was released. In August of 1995, Babasónicos participated in an Argentinean festival called Nuevo Rock, having the chance to play along with Peligrosos Gorriones and Los Brujos, consolidating their presence in the local scene.

Demasiado
Babasonicos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

El Abismo Respira A Tus Pies,
La Marea Te Hipnotizará,
En La Playa
Las Orillas Del Miedo Te Alcanzan.

Demasiado Lejos Para Temer,
Demasiado Lejos Para Volver.
Demasiado Lejos Para Temer,

Demasiado Lejos Para Volver.

Ningún Tiempo why En Cualquier Lugar
Entre Gente Paseando Excitada,
No Te Asustes Mi Amor No Te Ve.
Estas Sola Rodeada De Nada

Demasiado Lejos Para Temer,
Demasiado Lejos Para Volver.
Demasiado Lejos Para Temer,
Demasiado Lejos Para Volver.

Pon Tu Mente En Blanco why Piensa En Mi,
Llego A Rescatarte,
Llego A Rescatarte,
Llego A Rescatarte.

La Escalera Se Come Tus Pies,
Escalón Que Pisas Se Desarma,
Solamente Te Queda Subir,
Aunque Sepas Que Arriba No Hay Nada.

Demasiado Lejos Para Temer,
Demasiado Lejos Para Volver.
Demasiado Lejos Para Temer,
Demasiado Lejos Para Volver.

Escuchás A La Hierba Crecer,
Un Minuto why Ya Es La Alborada,
Sin Vergüenza Por Tu Desnudez,
El Ocaso Silencia Palabras.

Demasiado Lejos Para Temer
Demasiado Lejos Para Volver.
Demasiado Lejos Para Temer
Demasiado Lejos Para Volver.

Pon Tu Mente En Blanco why Piensa En Mi,
Llego A Rescatarte,

Llego A Rescatarte,
Llego A Rescatarte.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Babasonicos’ song Demasiado paint a picture of an individual in a state of fear and uncertainty, feeling isolated and alone in a vast and unfamiliar environment. The opening lines speak of the abyss breathing at the individual’s feet, and the hypnotizing power of the tide on the beach. The person is surrounded by fear, represented by the shores closing in. The repetition of “demasiado lejos para temer, demasiado lejos para volver” (too far to fear, too far to turn back) throughout the song reinforces the notion that the individual is in a state of being lost, both physically and emotionally. They feel disconnected and cut off from others, despite being in the midst of excited people.

However, amidst the feeling of isolation, there is a glimmer of hope as the singer comes to rescue and provide a sense of safety and comfort. The promise of being rescued, repeated throughout the song, serves as a reminder that there is always a possibility of hope, even in the darkest of times.

The song paints a vivid picture of the human experience of fear, uncertainty, and isolation, while also providing a sense of comfort and hope through the idea of rescue and support.
