The band officially consists of five members (David, Virginia, Oscar, Clara and Sergio) who appear in the band's distinctive "retro" music videos, though notably do not perform live, instead, Guille Milkyway sings and plays the songs solo at concerts. This, along with inconsistencies between instruments featured in the videos and those audible on the songs, has led many to believe that Guille Milkyway is in fact the sole performer on the records and uses the band "members" (who do not give interviews and whose last names have never been disclosed) in order to project an image.

La Casa Azul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La realidad post-moderna
La dejadez neo-liberal
La liquidez decadente
La nueva era perversa
El desenfreno del capital
Y yo, que solamente soy capaz de acomodarme a contemplar
Mientras llega el gran final
El colofón
El no va más
El impacto inesperado
La nueva piedra filosofal
La salvación
El vendaval
El bombazo planetario
La panacea internacional
No me vengas con minucias, no nos queda nada más
Así que sálvese quien pueda esto es el final
Vamos a escapar más allá del mar
Somos éter, somos hadas, orgonitas, polvo sideral
El halcón milenario
La catarsis suprema
La sociedad espectacular
El avant-garde agoniza
La distopía se acerca
El mundo en coma terminal
Y yo, que solamente soy capaz de acomodarme a contemplar
Mientras llega el gran final
El colofón
El no va más
La nueva piedra filosofal
La salvación
El vendaval
El bombazo planetario
La panacea internacional
No me vengas con minucias, no nos queda nada más
Así que sálvese quien pueda esto es el final
The lyrics to La Casa Azul’s song “Sálvese Quien Pueda” speak to the current state of affairs in the modern world. The song discusses the tragedy of post-modernity, the effects of neo-liberalism and decadence, and the perverse nature of the new era. The lyrics also address the unbridled capitalistic drive and the impending end of the world, which the singer can only watch unfold around him. The song encourages listeners to save themselves while they still can because this is the end.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase “El colofón, el no va más” which translates to “The end, the no more.” This phrase serves as a reminder that everything must come to an end eventually. The singer describes several different scenarios that will bring about the end, including an unexpected impact, a new philosophical breakthrough, and an international salvation. The song also references the rise of dystopia and society’s approach to a terminal coma.
Overall, “Sálvese Quien Pueda” is a powerful and thought-provoking song that encourages listeners to take control of their lives before it's too late. The song reminds us that while we may not be able to change the course of the world, we can still save ourselves.
