In 2007, Bacardi's B-Live tour enlisted Disco Ruido to perform a collaboration show with Elohim Corona from Moderatto. The show resulted in an hour-long DJ set from Julian accompanied by visual arts by Peto, and other guest artists as Tito F from Molotov and Paco Huidobro from Fobia. The show toured most of Mexico's main cities but became impossible to continue due to increasing touring schedules from both Disco Ruido and Moderatto.
In early 2008 vocalist and lyricist Mercedes Nasta joined the band, according to them "she came up to the DJ booth at a nightclub and said that she was the person we needed for the band" after a few rehearsals she officially joined the band for their "2008 MX Beat Festival" performance. Now with more original material the band became a reliable opening act for international artists in Mexico.
Paranoiac
Disco Ruido! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a way my mind can only see
There is nothing going on outside
But I drown with love inside
Your eyes desire satellites
And the beat evokes vampire rites
I see you kaleidoscope of vice
Paranoiac
Shut the engine
Paranoiac
Blood in my dreams
Paranoiac
Instant vending
Paranoiac
The self machine
Too much thinking
Chaos is linking
The world stop turning
Nature is sinking
Human hate is rising and sinking
Missing all the real things
How am I thinking?
Why is it linking?
The world is saving nature Im hoping
Human man is rising and waking
Caring for the real things
Im a storyteller of my love
Im a little eagle
Im a fox
The lyrics to Disco Ruido!'s song Paranoiac paint a picture of an individual who is experiencing intense emotions and sensations, to the point of feeling overwhelmed and drowning in love. The first stanza describes how the body language of the object of the singer's affection speaks to them in a way that their mind can only see. This highlights how they are hyper-attuned to the other person's movements and nonverbal cues, indicating a high level of focus and maybe even fixation. The mention of desire for satellites and evocation of vampire rites imply a sense of otherworldliness and intensity, of being unable to escape from the powerful pull of physical and emotional desire. The use of the metaphor "kaleidoscope of vice" is particularly evocative, conveying a sense of chaos and twisted beauty.
The chorus, with its repeated refrain of "Paranoiac," seems to capture the sense of intensity and anxiety that runs through the rest of the song. The singer feels like they are in over their head, unable to control their emotions or the powerful forces that seem to be driving them. The references to "the self machine" and "instant vending" suggest a sense of emptiness or a lack of control over one's own impulses, as if the singer is caught up in a larger system that they cannot escape. The second verse seems to suggest a sort of existential crisis or reckoning, as the singer grapples with the disconnect between their experience of the world and the way it is changing around them. The contrast between "human hate" and "caring for the real things" highlights a tension between the more destructive, nihilistic tendencies that the song has been exploring and the possibility of finding meaning and connection.
Overall, Paranoiac is a powerful and evocative exploration of intense desire, anxiety, and the tension between different impulses within oneself. It paints a picture of a person who is struggling to find their place in a chaotic and shifting world, unable to reconcile the intensity of their own emotions with the forces that seem to be driving them.
