Despite the fact they started singing in English, the five-piece band fronted by David Carabén started using his mother tongue around 2005 and paved the way for the new wave of indie bands writing songs in Catalan language. Loved by the press and with a fan base growing in geometrical progression, they’ve just released a new album, their seventh, recorded at the mythical Black Box Studios with the help of Peter Deimel (The Kills, The Last Shadow Puppets, Anna Calvi). Hailed as their best, “L’ànsia que cura” (TRIS-Warner, 2014), captures the raw energy of their live set and a sophisticated range of influences including The Smiths and JG. Ballard, Randy Newman and David Lynch, Tindersticks and the chanson française. Think The National born and raised by the Mediterranean Sea.

Band members:
Xavi Caparrós - bass
David Carabén - voice, guitar
Marc Lloret - keyboards
Alfons Serra - drums
Dani Vega - guitars

Deixa'm Creure
Mishima Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Era el negre profund dels teus ulls
Des del fons de la teva mirada
S'intueix el fulgor d'una llum
Però és tan tènue i tan lleu i s'apaga.

Deixa'm creure, deixa'm creure en tu.

Un estel en la nit clara d'hivern

Em fa allunyar enmig de la tempesta
La teva ombra envoltada de llum
Reflexa la lluna rere la finestra.

Creu en mi, Creu en mi.

Deixa'm creure, deixa'm creure en tu.
Deixa'm creure, deixa'm creure en tu.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics are from the song "Deixa'm creure" by Mishima and they describe the singer's desire to believe in someone or something. The first stanza describes the deep black color of the person's eyes and how the faint light within them seems to flicker and fade away. Despite this, the singer still wants to believe in this person.

The second stanza talks about an "estel" or a star, which provides a guiding light in the darkness of winter. The singer mentions feeling like they're in the midst of a storm, but seeing the person's shadow surrounded by light, reflecting the moonlight through the window. The final lines repeat the desire to believe, with added emphasis on the phrase "creu en mi" (believe in me).

Overall, the lyrics express a yearning to trust and have faith in someone or something, even if the evidence for that trust is tenuous and fragile. The use of celestial and atmospheric imagery gives the sense of something magical or elusive, adding to the feeling of longing and possibility within the song.
