Their first album was "Los Piratas", a live record, followed by "Quiero hacerte gritar", their first studio album. Later on they would release "Poligamia" and "Manual para los fieles". Their next album, "Fin de la primera parte" (end of the first part), was a special album that recapped their best songs and marked a changed towards much more complex style.

Comernos
Los Piratas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Comer, hasta caer
Beber, hasta caer

Salimos de la casa y elegimos la comida
Ella digería toda nuestra economía
Y así, no hay nada que hacer (nada que hacer)
Aquí, todo es pared

Llamamos a una puerta y encontramos a una chica
No llevaba ropa y nos pedía cocaína
Y así, se quedó a vivir
Aquí, se hacen las cosas así......

Secuestrada, por la luna y sin embargo, aún...
No está enterada, secuestrada...
Salimos a la calle y elegimos la comida

Y así, prefiero dormir,
Y así, se quedó a vivir

Comer, hasta caer
Beber, hasta caer

Secuestada, por la luna y sin embargo, aún...
No está enterada, secuestrada...
Salimos a la calle y elegimos la comida
Ella se merendaba toda nuestra economía

Y así, prefiero dormir
Y así, no se si morir

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Los Piratas's song "Comernos" are a reflection of the indulgent excesses that people can succumb to. The song describes going out and choosing food and drink until one falls, highlighting the idea that too much of a good thing can be detrimental. The singer describes going out with someone who eats and digests their entire economy, leaving them with nothing to do in a world where everything is a wall. They then encounter a woman who is addicted to cocaine and ends up staying with them. The song ends with the singer preferring to sleep and not knowing whether he wants to die.

The song includes various elements of sensory overload, from the excess of food and drink to the overwhelming feeling of being trapped in a world with walls. The woman they meet embodies addiction, both to drugs and the excessive lifestyle they are leading. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the idea that indulging in excess can feel like being kidnapped by the moon, as if succumbing to a powerful force beyond one's control.
