1) Boikot is a Spanish left-wing punk/rock group.
The group started in 1987 singing in bars and private locals. After doing a pair of adjustments in the formation of the group they recorded two albums with the label Barrabas. They were themselves doing acquaintances playing in Madrid, until in the year 1995 they break with the seal Barrabás and they decide to start their own production business BKT. They launched two disks more, Cría Cuervos and Tu Condena, and they played in diverse festivals of rock as Festimad or Metaliko Rock. After this they decided to do a trilogy called La Ruta del Ché, that would be composed of three disks that count the history of Che Guevara and engravings while they were on tour in some countries as in Cuba, Mexico, or Argentina.

Fausto Holokausto
Boikot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vi mi rostro envejecer
Con mi carne hecha pellejo
Y la guadaña en la pared
Triste amnesia
Que anestesia
Y a beber, savia negra de un ciprés
Oí gritar en mi interior
Que las leyes no son diez
Escupiendo al superior
Recobré la sensatez
Cuando miro con sus ojos
Veo humanos nacer con sed
Cuando miro con mis ojos
Veo la bestia en la pared
The lyrics of Boikot's song "Fausto Holokausto" convey a profound message about the inescapable reality of mortality and the human condition. The opening verse paints a vivid picture of the singer's reflection in the mirror, with an aging face and tired flesh. The image of the scythe hanging on the wall adds a morbid touch, foreshadowing the inevitability of death. There is a sense of melancholy and resignation in the words, captured perfectly by the phrase "triste amnesia que anestesia," which can be translated as "sad amnesia that numbs."
The next verse takes a defiant turn, with the singer rejecting the notion that there are only ten commandments to follow. The idea of spitting on "the superior" suggests a rebellion against societal norms and power structures. The sense of clarity and rationality that comes from this defiance is juxtaposed with the previous verse's sense of resignation. The final verse underlines the song's theme of duality, as the singer sees both the beauty of human creation and the ugliness of a beast looming in the background.
Overall, Boikot's "Fausto Holokausto" is a powerful meditation on the human condition, mortality, and the struggle to find meaning in a chaotic world full of contradictions.
