1) Dead Fish is a Brazilian hardcore punk band from Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil. Formed in 1991, they developed their music with intense vocal, initially sung in English then switched to Portuguese, frantic guitar fretwork, bulldozer-like drumming style and bass picking. The lyrics usually range from political and social criticism to daily personal problems, among others.

Their gigs are known for the energetic performances, frantic mosh-pit and stage dives. Also, there's a well-know catch phrase shout by the crowd at sometime in the show: "Ei, Dead Fish, vai tomar no cu!" which means "Hey, Dead Fish, go fuck your ass off!"

In 2004 they almost broke up but signed up with major label Deckdisc, releasing their first mainstream album, Zero e Um.

Band's current lineup is: Rodrigo (vocals), Philipe - who has left Reffer, Alyand (bass) and Marcos (drums) making Dead Fish's "kitchen".

Por Paz
Dead Fish Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Foi difícil acordar e tirar a mente da estagnação.
Perplexidade, medo, apatia e falta de ação.
Sonhei com uma estrada
que levava ao nada,
e havia uma placa que dizia pra enfrentar os erros ( pessoas) como ele(a)s são.
Pedir por justiça,
se fazer entender.
Pois a vaidade e a arrogância dos que tem (poder) passa a ser combustível pra lutar.

Peço paz!!
Isso não é demais!!
Por um minuto, eternamente e nada mais.
Era tão sinuosa
que quase desisti.
Mas em cada curva encontrava em que acreditar.
Uma simples palavra
me fez cair.
Mas a escuridão me fez cegamente caminhar e continuar tentando.
Peço paz!!
Lutar por paz!!
Por um minuto e eternamente e nada mais.
Se tanto faz

te peço paz.
Paz.
