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 ↴
Qué pereza da tu estúpida ambición
Me saturan tus palabras
Me sonroja tu ignorancia
De cosas que jamás te van a pasar
Mira, tu vida es aburrida
No te esfuerces en encubrirla
Con patéticas mentiras
No entiendo a quién pretendes engañar
Con tu pose super-vista
Y tu dialéctica sofista
Trasnochada y anodina
Me cansas y prefiero ir a bailar
Consentido niño de papá
Deberías divertirte un poco más
Pues las noches amanecen
Y el amor desaparece
Y mientras ríes todo pasa y no hay marcha atrás
Tu ridícula arrogancia te va a aniquilar
In La casa azul's song "Prefiero Bailar," the singer expresses their exasperation and disdain towards someone who is constantly complaining about their pain and displaying a shallow, materialistic mindset. The singer finds the person's talk to be suffocating, and is embarrassed by their lack of knowledge. The song suggests that the individual's desire to talk about things that will never happen, combined with their inauthenticity, is unappealing. They go on to suggest that the individual's life is dull and that they should not try to cover it up with lies. The singer then encourages the individual to have more fun and not be so serious and concerned with social status, as life is short and precious.
The use of metaphors and comparisons in the lyrics is interesting. The singer refers to the individual's pain as "poor" and their ambition as "stupid." They also compare the individual's speech to a suffocating force, and their attempts at appearing cool with the phrase "super-vista." In addition to this, the song's title "Prefiero Bailar" (I Prefer to Dance) is a recurring motif throughout the lyrics, suggesting that dancing is a better use of time than listening to the empty complaints of others. The song suggests that life is unpredictable and fleeting, and that it is important to enjoy each moment to the fullest.
