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

No et fas el llit
Mishima Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Diu que ja no et fas el llit
I que plores a les nits
I quan surts amb les amigues
Diuen que menges amb els dits

Diu que truques a tothom
Fins i tot a antics companys
Però jo sé que el que tu busques

Només ho trobaràs amb mi

Diu que et van veure amb el Joan
Un dissabte allà al canòdrom
Quan tothom sap que és un imbècil
I que li suen molt les mans

Diuen que reies massa fort
I que apostàveu pels més lents
En sortir et va fer un petó i després….
En fi, després no ho vull saber

També has tornat a treballar
I ara et lleves més aviat
I el cafè amb llet que jo et servia
Te'l posa el noi de l'altre torn

Diu que no et va tan malament
Però a mi em sembla que em menteixen

Perquè jo sé que el que et fa falta
Només ho trobaràs amb mi

Overall Meaning

The song "No et fas el llit" by Mishima is about the aftermath of a breakup and the singer's observations of their ex-partner's behavior. The lyrics describe how the ex-partner has been crying at night and eating messily when out with friends. They have also been calling old acquaintances and former partners, but according to the singer, they will only find what they are looking for with the singer.

The song continues by referencing a specific event where the ex-partner was seen with someone named Joan at a dog racing track. The singer believes that Joan is an idiot and is puzzled by the ex-partner's behavior. The ex-partner was also apparently laughing excessively and betting on the slowest dogs, and then shared a kiss with Joan before leaving. The singer is disinterested in hearing anything more about this encounter.

Finally, the song mentions that the ex-partner has returned to work and now wakes up earlier to have coffee, which is now served by someone else. Despite reports that the ex-partner is doing well, the singer believes they are lying and that the only thing they truly need can be found with the singer.

The song effectively captures the feelings of jealousy, bitterness, and a desire for revenge that often accompanies a breakup. The singer wants their ex-partner to realize what they are missing and perhaps regret the breakup.

Line by Line Meaning

Diu que ja no et fas el llit
She says you no longer make the bed

I que plores a les nits
And that you cry at night

I quan surts amb les amigues
And when you go out with your friends

Diuen que menges amb els dits
They say you eat with your fingers

Diu que truques a tothom
She says you call everyone

Fins i tot a antics companys
Even old friends

Però jo sé que el que tu busques
But I know what you're looking for

Només ho trobaràs amb mi
You'll only find it with me

Diu que et van veure amb el Joan
She says they saw you with Joan

Un dissabte allà al canòdrom
On a Saturday at the dog track

Quan tothom sap que és un imbècil
When everyone knows he's an idiot

I que li suen molt les mans
And he sweats a lot

Dien que reies massa fort
They say you laugh too loud

I que apostàveu pels més lents
And that you bet on the slowest dogs

En sortir et va fer un petó i després….
When you left he kissed you and then...

En fi, després no ho vull saber
Anyway, I don't want to know

També has tornat a treballar
You've also gone back to work

I ara et lleves més aviat
And now you get up earlier

I el cafè amb llet que jo et servia
And the coffee with milk that I used to serve you

Te'l posa el noi de l'altre torn
The guy from the other shift serves it to you

Diu que no et va tan malament
She says it hasn't gone that bad for you

Però a mi em sembla que em menteixen
But it seems like they're lying to me

Perquè jo sé que el que et fa falta
Because I know what you need

Només ho trobaràs amb mi
You'll only find it with me
