Back then, they were located in a small town called Åkersberga 30 kilometres north of Stockholm. 1999 they signed a record-deal with V2 Music after sending them a three-song demo.The first single was called On A Train and was released the 21st of Nov 1999. The debut album 'Til We're Dead was released in March the following year.

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.

Eskobar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm going on to the moon
Leaving here pretty soon
To be with you

I'm going on to the moon
Leaving here pretty soon
To be with you

I am someone else now
I am someone else now
I am someone else now
To you

I'm going on to the moon
Leaving here pretty soon
To be with you

I'm going on to the moon
Leaving here pretty soon
To be with you

I am someone else now
I am someone else now

I am someone else now
To you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "To The Moon" by Eskobar seem to revolve around the idea of leaving everything behind, including one's identity, to be with someone they love on the moon. The repetition of "I'm going on to the moon, Leaving here pretty soon, To be with you" seems to emphasize the urgency and determination of the singer to join their loved one, no matter what they have to sacrifice.

The line "I am someone else now, to you" suggests that the singer has changed or perhaps feels that they are not the same person they once were. This could be interpreted in a few different ways - perhaps they have undergone a transformation in order to be able to travel to the moon, or maybe their love for this person has fundamentally changed them.

Overall, the lyrics of "To The Moon" seem to capture the longing and desperation that can come with being separated from someone you love, and the lengths you might go to in order to be reunited with them.
