One year later, they recorded KING KONG, produced by Herbert Vianna (OS PARALAMAS DO SUCESSO). Immediately after, they launched Maxi ANFITREU, a vinyl disc that impacted because of its unique style.

In 2004, the Argentinean band with 17 years of successful path, surprised its fans by changing their vocal scheme; with Juanchi Baleiron switching from lead guitar to vocals.
With a completely fresh approach, fuelled by the beginning of a new stage of change and challenge, they presented a live show with a more compact scheme, reinforcing their reggae-rock format.
More than two million records were sold and 1600 live shows performed, rocketing LOS PERICOS as one of the MOST IMPORTANT BANDS in the history of LATIN REGGAE/ROCK.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can go and
Tell my secrets too
In my room
In this world I lock out all my
Worrys and my fears
In my room
Do my dreaming and I'm skeaming
Lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighting
Laugh at yesterday
Parapapapapa
Que es lo que pasa contigo
Que vas siempre ahí
There's a world wherei can go and
Tell my secrets to
In my room
Do my dreaming and I'm skeaming
Lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sightin
Laugh at yesterday
Parapapapapa
Que es lo que pasa contigo
Que vas siempre ahí
Now is dark and
I'm alone but
I won't be afraid
In my room

The songwriter describes a world they can escape to, where they can tell their secrets and lock out their worries and fears. The room becomes a sanctuary where they can do their dreaming, scheming and praying, crying, and laughing without worrying about the outside world. The lyrics also convey a sense of comfort and security, where even in the dark and alone, the songwriter assures themselves that they won't be afraid because they have their room.
The song is not only about the physical space of a room, but it can also be about the emotional and psychological space within oneself. It talks about finding a safe haven within oneself and escaping the chaos of the world outside. Moreover, the lyrics suggest that it's okay to take a break from the regular routine and find time to be alone with one's thoughts and emotions. Overall, the song encourages self-reflection and self-discovery.

There's a world where
There exists a place in my mind
I can go and
I can mentally transport myself to
Tell my secrets too
Confide in my deepest desires
In my room
Within my imagination
In this world I lock out all my
I refuse to entertain any
Worrys and my fears
Anxieties and apprehensions
Do my dreaming and I'm skeaming
Fantasize and plan
Lie awake and pray
Stay up and reflect
Do my crying and my sighting
Experience sadness and reminisce
Laugh at yesterday
Find humor in the past
Parapapapapa
Nonsensical expression of joy
Que es lo que pasa contigo
What's up with you
Que vas siempre ahí
Why are you always there
Now is dark and
Currently it's nighttime and
I'm alone but
I'm solo however
I won't be afraid
I won't feel scared
In my room
Within my imagination

I am waiting for your love
Missing faces in my room.
I am waiting for your love,
Lying looking at the moon.

Something there is in the heaven,
Sometimes I just can't hide
Why can't we live together now.?
I am waiting for your love
We're playing silly games.
I am waiting for your love
Left me standing in the rain. rain.rain

Give me the greatest love
Something there is in heaven,
Sometimes I just can't hide
Why can't we live together now.?
