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".

Dead Fish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone is talking and trying to command your mind,
And with the money of innocent people benevolence,
Made a machine of illusion to command the world (humanity)
While you destroy yourself on this state of mind,
I'd like to tell you some truth (lie, shit, nothing)
Cause there's no Buddha, no ALA, no Jesus Christ, to forgive
Centuries of war made in name of one god, and millions of
Children are killed with out even know why.
I don't believe that this seat can put your life in peace, and if
You care, I don't mind if one day you're gonna get rich,
Religion never gave people better life, only work on his rule,
And use people, etnie-sand races to make money for his own.
The song Wrong by Dead Fish is a powerful commentary on the corruption and manipulation within organized religion. The lyrics suggest that when individuals blindly follow their religion without questioning its motives or actions, they are allowing themselves to be controlled by those who are in power. The line "made a machine of illusion to command the world" implies that religion has been used as a tool to manipulate and control masses of people for centuries.
The song also highlights the violence and atrocities committed in the name of religion. The line "centuries of war made in the name of one god, and millions of children are killed without even knowing why" is a poignant reminder of the devastating consequences of religious extremism. The lyrics ultimately suggest that religion is not the answer to finding peace or a better life, and that individuals need to question and challenge the actions of those who claim to have their best interests at heart.

When you stay contrite praying for the gods,
While you are remorseful and repentant in your prayers to the gods,
Someone is talking and trying to command your mind,
Someone is attempting to influence and control your thoughts,
And with the money of innocent people benevolence,
Using the funds obtained from unsuspecting individuals' generosity,
Made a machine of illusion to command the world (humanity)
An illusionary mechanism was created to control the human race and the world as a whole
While you destroy yourself on this state of mind,
As you deteriorate with this mentality,
I'd like to tell you some truth (lie, shit, nothing)
I want to share some reality with you, though it may be a lie, rubbish or nothing at all.
Cause there's no Buddha, no ALA, no Jesus Christ, to forgive
Because there is no Buddha, ALA or Jesus Christ to offer redemption
What your religion used to do.
For what your religion has done in the past.
Centuries of war made in name of one god, and millions of
Hundreds of years of conflicts fought in the name of a single deity, resulting in countless
Children are killed with out even know why.
Youngsters losing their lives without even understanding why they are dying.
I don't believe that this seat can put your life in peace, and if
I do not trust that seeking refuge here will bring peace to your existence, and even if
You care, I don't mind if one day you're gonna get rich,
You are concerned, however, I am indifferent if you become wealthy one day,
Religion never gave people better life, only work on his rule,
Religion has never been a source of an improved life and only seeks to maintain its authority,
And use people, etnie-sand races to make money for his own.
Utilizing individuals of various ethnicities and races to accrue wealth for its own benefit.
