The band is composed of vocalist Miguel Chavez, bassist Carlos Calderon, drummer Jose Salvador, and guitarists Sonny Baquisal and Mong Alcaraz. They were first named Chico Science in homage to the Brazilian musician of that name. They later shortened this to Chicosci in order to avoid confusion with the Brazilian artist.

Chicosci's biggest mainstream hit is "Paris" from their sophomore effort "Method of Breathing". "Paris" stands as the only song to hold the number one spot on Manila rock station NU 107's Midnight Countdown for a lengthy period of time. "Shallow Graves" from the third release, "Icarus", peaked highest at number 7. Now armed with their latest album, "Chicosci", the band garnered another number one hit with "A Promise".

Chicosci regularly plays the Manila music circuit as well as the relative provincial gigs.

Chicosci Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see your face, i hear your voice
A damage heart, i have no choice
I fall asleep and awake in years before
It's crazy i'm with you again
Careful lines, my only friend
Singing the songs i knew from years
Before

Can you stay a little longer?
Until the sweetest smile burns out
Lover, hear me now

It isn't so much i found you
It isn't how i loved you
Push the silent thoughts inside

The papermistakes and the deaths
We were faking
You were the love i had from years before

Can you stay a little longer?
Until the sweetest smile burns out
Lover, hear me now

Can you stay a little longer?
Until the sweetest smile burns out
Lover, hear me now

Can you stay a little longer?
Until the skeletons came out
Lover, hear me now

Take those away
far away from me
Open your eyes
The boy i used to be

It was our world
It was our time
Young hearts, yours and mine
I want to hear the songs again
Until the end of the light begins

It was our world
It was our time
Young hearts, yours and mine

I want to hear the songs again
Until the end of the light begins
