Su música es, por supuesto, de otro planeta. Estos científicos interestelares analizan los géneros terrestres conocidos como rock, 8 bit, electro pop y hip hop hasta descomponerlos en elementos básicos, para así resintetizarlos junto a una buena dosis de cultura pop, estilo de vida geek y recursos visuales, dando origen a lo que denominan sci-fi rock.

Los Humanoides came to Earth from an undisclosed planet to spread their intergalactic message through music, the universal language. They are living proof that earthlings are not alone…
Their music is, as expected, from out of this world. These interstellar scientists analyze some terrestrial genres, known to men as rock, 8 bit, electro pop and hip hop, decompose them into their basic elements and then re-synthesize them, adding a good dose of pop culture, geeky lifestyle and visual aids, giving birth to what they call sci-fi rock.

Los Humanoides, dont la planète d’origine est inconnue, sont venus à la Terre afin de difusser leur message intergalactique par moyen de la musique – la langue universelle. Voici la preuve que les terriens ne sont pas seuls dans l’univers…
Leur musique est d’une autre planète, bien sûr. Ces scientifiques interstellaires analysent les genres connus à la terre comme rock, 8 bit, electro pop et hip hop et les décomposent en éléments de base, afin de les reconstruire en ajoutant une bonne dose de culture pop, de style de vie geek et des ressources visuelles, donnant vie à ce qu’ils appellent sci-fi rock.

Los Humanoides Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
la subdivisión del todo y de la nada
medio día va, media noche viene.
12 lunas, 12 horas, 12 meses
milenarias, incontables, inconscientes
las preguntas sin respuesta desvanecen.
Tratas de sintetizar el mundo en una frase
y es una secuencia numeral
en base duodecimal
En un universo hecho de ceros y unos,
nosotros, que decimos comprender la vida,
nos burlamos de los números.
The lyrics of Los Humanoides's song "XII" delve into the concept of human attempts to understand and quantify the complexities of the universe. The first stanza reflects on the confinement of cells within an assigned grid, symbolizing the limited perspective from which humans perceive the world. The reference to "the subdivision of everything and nothing" alludes to the human inclination to categorize and analyze everything, even the intangible aspects of existence. Additionally, the mention of "midday goes, midnight comes" signifies the cyclical nature of time and the never-ending quest for understanding.
The second stanza introduces the numbers twelve, emphasizing their recurrence in different contexts. Twelve moons, twelve hours, twelve months represent the repetition of patterns within various natural cycles. The adjectives "milenarias" (millennial) and "incontables" (countless) highlight the vastness and incomprehensibility of these numerical patterns. The mention of unanswered questions fading away implies that the pursuit of understanding may sometimes lead to more questions than answers.
The final stanza conveys a sense of irony. It criticizes humanity's arrogance in claiming to comprehend life when, in reality, we mock the significance of numbers. The "universe made of zeros and ones" refers to the binary system used in computer programming, hinting at the technological advancements humans have made, despite our limited understanding of existence itself. The lyrics suggest that we should not undermine the significance of numbers, as they hold intrinsic value and offer insights beyond our comprehension.
