Profile of the band
Sound
Their raw and aggressive sound, along with the stamp of the live shows (swinging from chaotic to obscene, euphoric and visceral catharsis at the time) nourish the achieved renown that music-journalists and other musicians have enlarged describing Motosierra as "the wildest Rock and Roll band from South America."
Lyrics
This characteristic, along with the topics of their songs, strongly contrast with the whole of uruguayan bands included in the National Rock. Violence, rebelliousness and self-destruction in an enviroment where it is used to sing about mundane subjects, reflecting to the point of exhaustion the average Uruguayan flat and monotonous life. They are proper lyrics of an anthem against boredom, tiredness of the monotonous life and desapassionate music. Foul loves, damned women and sex; whisky, drugs and excesses; satanism, blood and revange are proper of the Motosierra's lyrics.
Influences
Considering influences, can be mentioned Turbonegro, Hellacopters, Supersuckers, Zeke and Dwarves, as well classic bands such as Motörhead, Iggy Pop & The Stooges, New York Dolls and Dead Boys; altought, it is worth mentioning that the list could be even more extended. We should agree that the the heritage of bands is the same that carries weith in the whole new generation of bands around the world. Even so, the influence falls on the most significant ones, those which contribute to the self-destructive attitude (like Iggy Pop & The Stooges and Dead Boys), to the defiant sound and, not less important, to the meaning the cultural response takes with the band, among other aspects. It can be also mentioned the influence of Chicos Eléctricos and Cross, but within the framework of Uruguayan Rock.
Hijos del rigor
Motosierra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Donde pensabas que, QUE!!
Me ibas a encontrar
Metido en un agujero tocándote el trasero
Mirando como volvés siempre volvés por más
Somos hijos del rigor, el placer en el dolor
Ya es hora de empezar me pongo mi disfraz
Cuando todos piden cuero brillo en la oscuridad
Agarrate bien el culo te lo van a patear duro why vas a estar mejor
Somos hijos del rigor, el placer en el dolor
Siempre es el mismo cuento de verdad que no lo siento
Siempre volvés por más, más why más why más
Somos hijos del rigor el placer en el dolor
Aprontate bien el culo te lo van a partir duro why vas a estar mejor
The lyrics of "Hijos del rigor" by Motosierra speak about a person who seeks something that they cannot find. The singer suggests that instead of looking for it, the person should accept the painful truth and embrace it. This is exemplified by the lines "Somos hijos del rigor, el placer en el dolor" (We are children of rigorousness, pleasure in pain). The singer then girds himself with his "disfraz" (disguise) and prepares for whatever difficulties will come his way.
The chorus warns the listener to be prepared because they will be hit hard, but this will ultimately make them stronger. The lyrics convey a sense of masochism and a desire for pleasure that can only come from pain. The repeated line "siempre volvés por más, más why más" (you always come back for more, more and more) emphasizes this idea.
The song can be interpreted as a commentary on the human condition and the idea that we are all children of suffering. The singer suggests that instead of trying to avoid pain, we should embrace it and find pleasure in it. The song has a heavy rock sound that emphasizes the message of the lyrics.
