Mark Kilpatrick and Gustavo Laureano met in Orlando, Florida where they studied sound engineering. After graduating they moved to Miami Beach and started working. They also began rehearsing in a local warehouse along with drummer John Lengel and guitarist Carlos Figueroa. They soon began writing and composing their songs and started playing at local clubs in Miami and Puerto Rico. It is during this time that artists like Ricky Martin and Ednita Nazario discovered them. In 1995, Martin recorded the song "Bombón de Azúcar" and in 1996, Nazario recorded "Ultima Vez", also written by Laureano.
Their debut album, Aniquila, was released in 1997 producing four Top 40 hit singles: "Se Acabó", "Recompensa", "Nunca Jamás" and "Bombón de Azúcar". After this and the success of this first album, the band released the follow-up titled La Secta Allstar in April 2001. In 2004, the band released a fourth album titled Túnel. The album won a Premio Lo Nuestro award in the category of Best Rock Album. Shortly after guitarist Carlos Figueroa left the band, and Mikey Genao replaced him. The band then released their fifth album, Consejo, with Universal Latino. Consejo is the most successful album from La Secta. The album was certified Gold and Platinum under the RIAA in only two months after its release. The mega hit La Locura Automática, reached #1 in more than 13 countries (5 months #1 in Colombia).
A Tu Lado
La Secta Allstar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pues nada de esto hubiera podido pasar
Soy intenso, en lo que siento
Y solo hay metas para alcanzar
Hay tanta arena en este mar
No queda espacio para sanar
Y me concentro, en ser tu centro
Y vivir, soñar
En mi cama despertar a tu lado
A tu lado, a tu lado
A tu lado, a tu lado
Aunque este mundo me quiera ahogar
Y la marea me quiera llevar
Y me concentro en ser tu centro
Me da vida para llegar
Es mi destino, amor divino
Amor herido, amor divino
Sentir tu aliento, ser mi alimento
Si no hay palabras para expresar
Y vivir, soñar
En mi cama despertar a tu lado
A tu lado, a tu lado
A tu lado, a tu lado
A tu lado, a tu lado, a tu lado
A tu lado
The lyrics to La Secta Allstar's song A Tu Lado express gratitude for being different and intense in emotions. The song acknowledges that the singer's intensity has led to the achievement of various goals in life. The metaphorical imagery of the sea with so much sand that there is no room for healing emphasizes the intensity of the emotions expressed in the song. Despite the adversities presented by the world and life, the singer focuses on being the center of the loved one's world, which gives them the strength to persevere.
The song's message focuses on love as a source of strength and motivation, emphasizing the importance of connection and companionship. The use of repetition in the chorus highlights the singer's desire to live and dream with the loved one by their side, waking up every morning next to them. The song paints love as divine, healing, and nourishing, something that cannot be expressed with words.

Volví a esta canción después de años... Me recuerda a mi primer amor, la dejé de oír porque me hacía daño porque, y ahora regreso aquí porque ya sé cuál fue el motivo de no estar más juntos y de todo ese dolor, ahora entiendo que las personas tienen un propósito en nuestra vida y el suyo fue enseñarme a amar y a amarme, a saber cómo en verdad alguien me debe amar y me debe tratar. Yo aún estoy en un proceso de sanar, sin embargo espero él si sea y lo hagan feliz🤍🩹
