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

Ordre i Aventura
Mishima Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Diu que has entès la sola llei i el seu imperi,
Que tota mesura ha de ser estranya al seu poder,
Hi ha una dama blanca que t′espera ordint el gran misteri
Hi ha una barca amb un rei ferit i pecador.

Tot és ordre i aventura,
Tot és ordre i aventura.

Si avui et sents sol i creus que has perdut el teu senderi,
I et pintarà un camí d'argent sobre el mar fosc;
Diu que ella és pura però contamina el teu criteri,
Qui s′hi encomana viu per sempre sota una altre llum.

Entre l'ordre i l'aventura,

Entre l′ordre i l′aventura,
Entre l'ordre, l′aventura.

Overall Meaning

The song "Ordre i Aventura" by Mishima has lyrics that center around the idea of law versus adventure. The first verse talks about how someone claims to understand the only law and its power, but there is a white lady who waits to reveal a great mystery, and there is a boat with a wounded and sinful king. The second verse is about feeling lost and being guided by a pure lady who contaminates one's judgment. Ultimately the song is about the tension between order and adventure, and how these two seemingly opposite forces are constantly in play in our lives.

The lyrics suggest that there is a dichotomy between following the rules and taking chances. While there is something safe and secure about adhering to the law and the rules of society, there is also something thrilling and exciting about stepping outside of those boundaries and taking risks. The white lady and the wounded king symbolize the mystery and adventure that lie just beyond the realm of order and control.

The song's chorus of "Everything is order and adventure" reinforces this idea. While these two concepts may seem at odds with each other, they exist in a symbiotic relationship, and one cannot exist without the other. The tension between the two is what keeps life interesting and full of surprises.
