The original lineup consisted of vocalist John Garcia (Kyuss, Unida, Slo Burn), bassist Dandy Brown (Orquesta del Desierto), drummer Steve Earle (Afghan Whigs) and guitarists Mike Callahan (Earshot, Disengage) and David Angstrom (Banger, Supafuzz, Black Cat Bone, Devil May Care).

The band released Only a Suggestion on Teepee Records in 2002. In 2004 they signed to Dutch label Suburban Records (to date they have been more successful in Europe than North America) and released Dare I Say without Mike Callahan or Steve Earle, the latter replaced by new drummer Chris Leathers (Supafuzz). They have since recruited additional vocalist Aleah X (Banger, Devil May Care, Candy Says).

Hermano Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Coz what I mean when you're stuck in a hole,
And then what I seen when you're lickin' the bowl,
And then what you are when you're stuck in your bed,
And then what you are when you're stuck in your head.

Coz what I mean when you're riding the pole,
Yeah, what I seen when you lick and roll,
And then what you are when you're stuck in your bed,

And then what you are when you're stuck in your head.

Timeless man, I'm sittin' on a timeless moment,
Timeless man, I'm sittin' on a moment in time,
Timeless man, I'm sittin' on a timeless moment,
Timeless man, I'm sittin' on a moment in time,
And baby we gots it alright.

And then what I seen when you're stuck in the red,
And then what you are when you spread the lead,
And then what I've seen is you're stuck in a hole,
And then what I seen when you're lickin' the bowl.

Timeless man, I'm sittin' on a timeless moment,
Timeless man, I'm sittin' on a moment in time,
Timeless man, I'm sittin' on a timeless moment,

Timeless man, I'm sittin' on a moment in time,
And baby we gots it all.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hermano's "Señor Moreno's Plan" are open to interpretation with their abstract language, but the overall theme seems to be the cyclical nature of life and the various states of being one can experience. The lyrics suggest that in each state of being, there is something to observe and consider. The lines "what I mean when you're stuck in a hole" and "what you are when you're stuck in your head" suggest a time when one might feel trapped and lost in their thoughts. Lines like "riding the pole" and "lick and roll" are more open to interpretation, but they could be referencing moments of pleasure or escape.

The repetition of the phrase "Timeless man" seems to be both a reference to the singer observing others and their state of being, as well as acknowledging that time itself is a timeless concept that has existed perpetually. The last lines "And baby we gots it all" suggest that despite the ups and downs of life, the singer and their companion are content with what they have. Overall, the song seems to be about observing the various states of life and accepting them as they come.
