In 1999, they moved to Santiago motivated by the success in radio stations of their first demo, Esfumar. With the release of their second song, Brígida, the band established itself as a Chilean-rock promise.
2003 saw the release of their eponymous first album, whose single Té quickly became one of the most popular songs in nation-wide radio stations.
The following year the band got a nomination for Best New Band in the MTV Video Music Awards Latin America as they were releasing their second album, Morder.
The band has proven to be comfortable with an ample set of musical genres, having successfully composed ballads, power rock tunes and pop-oriented music.
In 2006, they released their 3rd album, Abrázame. Their 4rd one, Delicada Violencia, hits the stores in 2008.
Their most recent albums, Fortaleza and Mar de Nubes, were released in 2010 and 2014, respectively.

nunca fue amor...

The lyrics of De Saloon's song "Asfixiar" convey a sense of longing, confusion, and desperation within a relationship. The song seems to address the passing of time and the struggle to either awaken from a difficult situation or find the courage to express oneself more fully.
The repetition of the line "Cuanto tiempo mas para despertar" (How much more time to wake up) suggests a desire for clarity and understanding in the relationship. The singer may be questioning how much longer it will take for them to truly grasp the reality of their situation. This sentiment is further emphasized with the line "Cuanto tiempo mas para decir mas" (How much more time to say more), indicating a longing to communicate and express their true feelings.
The chorus repeats the idea of being able to touch and look at the other person, perhaps referring to an intimacy that was lost or a desire to regain the closeness they once experienced. The line "Talvez te pueda asfixiar" (Maybe I can suffocate you) adds a darker tone, suggesting a possible desire for control or a metaphorical expression of feeling trapped and suffocated within the relationship.
The repetition of "como lo hacia antes" (like I did before) emphasizes a longing for things to return to how they used to be. It highlights a desire for the familiarity, comfort, and happiness that existed in the past. The repetition of "nunca fue amor" (it was never love) adds a feeling of disillusionment, suggesting that the relationship may not have been genuine or fulfilling from the start.
Overall, "Asfixiar" depicts a complex emotional landscape within a troubled relationship. It showcases the longing for clarity, communication, and emotional connection, while also acknowledging the possibility of control, suffocation, and a realization that the love may not have been authentic.
