In 1991 a court prohibited to the band the use of the full name due to a dispute with a former sound technician expelled from the band, but ignoring the sentence they published "Bajo presión" (Under pressure), their last album as LPR. Finally, in 1996 the band changes their name, making 'La Polla' alone. In September 2002 dies Fernandito (drumer), and they pubish their last album 'El ultimo (el) de La Polla' in 2003, having published 1 EP and 16 LPs. Evaristo (composer, singer and writer) continues raising his voice against nearly everything, with irony and good punk rock, with his new band Gatillazo.
El Suicida
La Polla Records Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ante usted en su hogar el suicida
cómo no otra vez repetido
es así es el show de la vida.
En la cara sudor frío
en la mente puerca vida
más abajo los mirones
Salta al aire decidido
no es muy larga la caída
en el suelo quedan restos
sangre seca y el olvido.
Atención va a saltar primer plano
ante usted en su hogar el suicida
cómo no otra vez repetido
es así es el show de la vida
uno-dos-tres-salto
The lyrics to La Polla Records's song "El Suicida" describe the act of someone committing suicide by jumping, as seen on television. The opening lines warn the viewer that they are about to witness the suicide in up-close detail, as the act is repeated over and over again on the show of life. The lyrics then describe the physical state of the person jumping, with cold sweat on their face and a dirty life in their mind. Meanwhile, below them, the crowd waits for them to jump, eager for the spectacle.
The lyrics then describe the actual jump, which is described as a decisive action with a short fall. However, the aftermath is much more gruesome, as the jump results in the person's death and the left-behind remains of blood and forgotten memories. Overall, the song appears to critique the way that suicide is portrayed in the media and the way that people often become desensitized to it.
