Originally formed in 1999 as a four piece rock band, period.
Shortly after releasing their debut album, 2001's "Third World Budget", Daiquiri downsized to a 2-piece and took on more of an experimental "electro-punk" sound which can be found on their sophomore release, 2003's "Box Office Poison". Period.

Daiquiri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And little bags of jelly there
An angel falling off a cloud
A birth that God would not allow
There's a little bag on the ground
With a vein on the side
It's alive that's inside
Make a hole drain it dry
It's the son it's the one
There's a light from the sky
A fluid fills a million eyes
The goop is dripping from the sky
Placenta at you feet
The universe is underneath
Possible interpretation:
These lyrics can be seen as a surreal depiction of an unconventional birth, perhaps a premature or risky one. The first lines suggest a high level of humidity, as if the air is pregnant with moisture. The "little bags of jelly" might refer to amniotic sacs or to some other organic material present in the scene. The imagery of an angel falling off a cloud and a birth that God would not allow hints at a sense of transgression or rejection, as if the natural order has been disturbed or interrupted.
The next lines introduce a specific object, "a little bag on the ground", which is described in detail: it has a visible vein, it is wet enough to survive, and there is something alive inside it. The verbs "make a hole", "drain it dry", and "It's alive that's inside" suggest a process of extraction, as if the bag needs to be opened and drained to reveal its content. The arrival of the son or the one is associated with a light from the sky, which could be a divine or a medical intervention.
The last lines add more bizarre elements to the scene, such as "a fluid fills a million eyes" and "the goop is dripping from the sky". The juxtaposition of the universal and the bodily, the sublime and the slimy, creates a sense of disorientation and fascination. The final image of "placenta at your feet" highlights the physical aftermath of the birth, as if the miracle of life is inseparable from the messiness of reality.
Overall, the lyrics of "Babies Making Babies" convey a sense of awe and horror at the mysteries of birth, while also challenging traditional views of what is natural and acceptable.
