When it was time for the first release Eskobar was still a band without a name. The names that came up were either bad or taken. After a while they gave up. The problem was later solved when a friend of the band met an American manager and asked for help. He suggested Escobar. The band was informed and they approved. After changing the C into a K instead everyone was satisfied. Eskobar was born.
Champagne
Eskobar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In London, Paris and Berlin
I’ve lost my mind, my heart and my dignity
All over the world
Has it been givin' or takin'? Fixin' or breakin'?
In other words, what have I done?
Has it been new or repeatin'? Destroyin'/Rebuildin'?
I’ve had too many bottles of champagne
In LA, Stockholm & Tokyo
Tied myself to the tracks, waiting for the train to come
All over the world
Has it been givin' or takin'? Fixin' or breakin'?
In other words, what have I done?
Has it been new or repeatin'? Destroyin'/Rebuildin'?
And all the girls...well God I had fun
The song Champagne by Eskobar is a melancholic confession by the singer of indulging excessively in champagne, leading to losing his mind, heart, and dignity all over the world in cities like London, Paris, Berlin, LA, Stockholm, and Tokyo. The opening lines are suggestive of the addictive nature of champagne, which has become an essential part of celebrating one's successes and milestones with excessive consumption. The reckless behavior that follows the consumption of the drink has resulted in regretful actions, and the singer tries to make sense of his experiences by questioning himself whether his actions were about giving or taking, fixing or breaking, new or repeating, or destroying and rebuilding. The line "And all the girls... well God I had fun" is a testament of the hedonistic lifestyles of artists and musicians when they travel around the world, and the transient relationships that come with it.
The lyrics are open to interpretation, but it seems to be a cautionary tale to young artists who are starting new in the music industry or any who find themselves entangled in the lifestyle that comes with it. It is warning that indulgence has consequences that one may live to regret. Besides the message, the song features an infectious melody and vibrant production that blends organic instrumentation and electronic elements. Champagne has a smooth and mellow tone that listeners can get lost in.
