It has been the most weighty change of the band as far, and so the strenght in the sound is achieved,needed to bring down the incredulous look of many people who,up to that moment, didn´t believe in M.d.A. as one of the next bands to be listened to in a serious way, possibly because of what the band represented from its first steps with extremely sincere,absurd and comical atitudes in every surroundings they got through, from local radios to the furthest shows from Bs As city.
Besides, the weight of the labeling analized in different directions gives the most varied
results, corageous stuffs pronounced in some magazines as for example: “-M.d.A. is a name that we chose from the beggining because the band has a Californian sound, but as we were born in Buenos Aires we are named Mar de Ajó.”
Another option mentioned by the band is that they made up and developed in a teenage explotion, full of social changes. In fact during the recording of the debut EP, in the city of Bs As, cases of ecstasy and adolescent death didn´t stop appearing , with regard to this the band said:
M.d.A. is a generation of excesses and negative responses which generated itself in life without time for anything, betrayals, fast food, sex without any motive and drugs. In short, is an icon of a generation that goes out at nights.
Something that the band makes clear is the tearing sincerity on its lyrics, the sounds and the concept of desvirtualize a scene which is similar around the world

M.D.A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, I got the perfect remedy for that!
Donkey please no, I am begging you
Sing a song
Yes a travel song
When you gotta go somewhere
Yeah. Oh what the heck, I must confess
I love a road trip!
Sing a song
Hit the trail
Forget the maps. Forget the guides.
Before ya know it, you've made strides with me.
And I know all I need - all along
Is a path and a pal - and a song,
So I'm singin'
And I'm pallin' with you
See? It makes the time go by faster
Why me?
Why me?
This is nice.
Tell me what was my crime?
We are strolling
(Sees Puss in Boots walking by)
He's as chatty as a parrot.
More annoying than a mime.
Hey, look, a cat who's wearing boots!
That's crazy!
Why me?
Why me?
A simple answer would be fine
This is good cardio
Won't someone please
Send me a sign?
Oh look, a sign! Yunita Pal Avenue straight ahead!
What did I do to deserve this?
Honestly
This ass 'o mine is asinine
WHY ME?
Oh man, what could be better than this?!
Why me?
Why me?
A simple answer would be fine
Won't somebody please send me a sign?
Sing a song!
Hit the road!
It's the way
To get around!
Before ya know it, you've
Gained ground with me!
What did I do to deserve this?
Honestly
And I know
All I need
All along is a path
And a pal
And a song
This ass 'o mine
Is asinine
So, I'm singin'
And I'm pallin'
With you
That'll do Donkey
That'll do
