Followed by "Mandala" (1997) and "Directament" (1998, recorded in the "Teatre Conservatori" of Manresa) with the collaboration of other consolidated members of the Catalan Rock like Cris Juanico, Gerard Quintana and Pemi Fortuny. In 2000 they recorded "De viaje", their only album in Castillian so far, followed by "Cares" (2001).

Gossos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
acupuntura i "Prozac";
amics de Messenger que mai es veuran;
un colom missatger
s´ha confós de carrer.
Els nostres avis ja no entenen res.
Restes que prenen del silenci;
algú ens fa malabars amb uns quants drets humans:
polítics que somriuen després de parlar.
Potser tot això sona molt estrany:
parlo només del que tens al davant.
De vegades res és com esperaves,
però possiblament això sigui el millor que tens.
De vegades res és com et pensaves,
però segurament tot és com ha de ser.
Sota la pluja una nina de paper
ens recorda que no juguem net:
innocents condemnats;
culpables admirats.
Potser tot això et sembla molt estrany:
Parlo només del que tens al davant.
De vegades res és com esperaves,
però possiblament això sigui el millor que tens.
De vegades res és com et pensaves,
però segurament tot és com ha de ser.
Tot és com ha de ser! (x3)
De vegades res és com esperaves,
però possiblament això sigui el millor que tens.
De vegades res és com et pensaves,
però segurament tot és com ha de ser
"Com ha de ser" by Gossos is a song that talks about how sometimes things are not as we expect them to be, but that it is possible that everything happens for a reason, even if we don't understand it at the moment. The lyrics talk about different themes that are present in our daily lives, such as personal relationships, technology, politics, and social justice.
The song starts with a reference to Eastern philosophy, acupuncture, and Prozac, suggesting that we are turning to different ways to find happiness and peace of mind. The second verse mentions how our grandparents no longer understand the world we live in, hinting that there is a generational gap between our ancestors and us. The chorus reinforces the idea that sometimes things do not go as planned, but that we should accept them because they are the best we have.
The third verse talks about how even innocent people can be condemned, while guilty ones are admired, suggesting a critique of society's values and morality. Finally, the chorus is repeated, emphasizing the message that we should accept what we have, even if it's not what we expected, because it is what it should be.
Overall, "Com ha de ser" is a philosophical and reflective song that invites us to question our beliefs and values, and to accept that sometimes life takes unexpected turns that we cannot control.
