In March 1993 the band added Santiago Campillo, Pascual Saura, Juan Otero and Iñigo Uribe, under the name 'El clan de los murciélagos', (clan of bats), which soon became 'M-Clan'. The band's sound was heavily influenced by Southern rock artists. The group currently consists of Carlos Tarque (vocals), J. Antonio Otero, Ricardo Ruipérez (guitar), Carlos Raya (guitar), Pascual Saura, and A. Climent 'Boli' (keyboard).
In 1999, the band released Usar y tirar that went platinum, leading to the release of their 2001 Unplugged album Sin enchufe. The band also released Sopa fría in 2004 under Warner Bros and Eastwest Records.
La Niebla
M-Clan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
antes de que abrieras los ojos te sorprendió
¿Qué viniste a buscar en la niebla?
Bienvenido al lugar
donde los caminos se acaban al empezar
donde el tiempo borró nuestras huellas.
cara o cruz.
Y te preguntas qué hago aquí,
el mundo que yo conocí
ya no existe, no es igual.
La niebla escupe su canción
entra en ti como un ladrón
me va oxidando sin más.
Hoy la niebla llegó
como un mensajero de gris me confesó
ya muy pronto serás solo tierra.
En el páramo estás
somos unos cuantos aquí, no nos verás
nada parece cambiar en la niebla.
Acaso tú no eres real...
The song "La Niebla" by M-Clan speaks about the arrival of "the fog" which can be seen as a metaphor for confusion, uncertainty or depression. The lyrics convey a message of hopelessness and isolation as it is a place where paths lead to dead ends, time has erased all traces and the world we once knew no longer exists. Regardless of how much we try to hold on, the fog is always there spitting its song, corroding us and leaving us with no choice but to accept it.
The singer questions the reasons for the arrival of the fog, asking what it came to search for. It is almost as if the fog is something that has come intentionally to torment and hinder their journey. The line "Acaso tú no eres real" can be interpreted as the singer questioning their own existence and their ability to break free from the fog's influence.
Overall, "La Niebla" is a haunting yet riveting song that portrays the feeling of being lost, hopeless and stuck in a place where change seems impossible.
