The group’s 2001 debut, Extrañando Casa (Missing Home), was well received, earning them the distinction of being “the first” Mexican band to play punk’s latter day, slap happy incarnation with Spanish language lyrics. Remarkably, a five-year hiatus ensued, as the members of División Minúscula went back to school to finish their degrees and, in cases, to help with family businesses. This year, the band reunited and released a new record to the instant delight of at least 50,000 fans – the number of non-pirated copies sold to date in a market paralyzed by piracy and file-sharing.
The celebrated new recording, Defecto Perfecto (Perfect Defect) is blessed with crystal clear production on par with anything Dashboard Confessional has ever done. Loud, punchy guitars stay crisp and sharp on well-rounded compositions like “Soundtrack” and Sismo which is currently making the rounds on Mexican “modern rock” radio stations. Notably, it’s the well conveyed sincerity of the acoustic “Cada Martes” (Every Tuesday) and the slower “Me Tomé Una Pastilla” (I Took a Pill) which make the strongest impression upon repeated listening.
In 2008 the band released Sirenas (Mermaids). Javier Blake commented on the album; "We really wanted people to realize that we're growing and evolving with our sound, exploring new territorries."
Mi "Escena" Empieza Y Termina Conmigo
División Minúscula Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Entonces se que alguien morirá esta noche
Y eres tu
Te haz convertido en lo que sueles criticar
Y todavía hablas de ponerme en mi lugar
Pregúntate en donde estas tu donde estas tu?
Tuvimos algo grande
Y aun que no lo creas hoy que lo recuerdo
Te lo digo y lo repito que lo extraño
Dime en que falle dime que hice mal
Para que ahora estén todas las cosas fuera ya de su lugar
Y yo inclusive yo por confiarte mi amistad
Y darte mi lealtad
Donde estas tu? donde estas tu?
Y cada vez que vienes es igual es igual
La felicidad de verme caer no te la voy a dar
La respuesta que tu esperas de mi la voy a guardar
In "Mi "Escena" Empieza Y Termina Conmigo," División Minúscula seems to be addressing someone who has become a hypocrite. The lyrics suggest that hypocrisy is like a deadly disease and that tonight someone will die from it, and the person being addressed is the one with the disease. They have become what they usually criticize and yet still talk about putting the singer in their place. The song then asks, "where are you?" suggesting that the person who was once a friend is no longer around.
The lyrics then shift towards the relationship between the singer and the person they are addressing. They reminisce about "something big" that they had together, perhaps a relationship or a shared passion. They admit that it may have been small, but it was theirs, and they miss it even if the the person they are addressing does not. The rest of the lyrics express a sense of betrayal and hurt, questioning where things went wrong and how the trust and loyalty they had for the person they are addressing led to things falling apart. The singer concludes by saying that they will not give their betrayer the satisfaction of seeing them fall, and that they will keep their thoughts about the situation to themselves.
