Panteón Rococó blend several styles of popular music such as rock, punk, salsa, cumbia, mariachi, reggae, ska, and also mestizo music into a very energetic, groovy sound. As they are very political people and sympathize with the EZLN in Chiapas, some of their lyrics contain political statements, but many others are love songs.
While very popular in Mexico, they are not so known in Europe, hence their contributions and tours there.

te vi kondenar a irak y vitnam
te vi engañar a la libertad yo vi ke kaian las
bombas y solo se oia un ruido terrible
rezaaa rezaaa
la niña se kansa de aviones y balas
hoy kiere parar esa lluvia de fuego
hoy kiero ke siga jugando el juego ke
nunka se olvidara jamass jamass
salvamee salvamee
salvame salvame salvame
salvame salvame
save my save my save my
salvame salvame salvame
salvame salvame
yo vi ke kaian las
bombas y solo se oia un ruido terrible
rezaaaaa
The lyrics to Panteon Rococo's "Salyame" speak to the idea of salvation in the midst of war and violence. The opening lines, "salvameeee salvameeee" (save me, save me), set the tone for the plea that follows. The singer describes seeing someone being sent to Iraq and Vietnam, and betraying freedom. They then witness the falling of bombs and the terrible noise that they make. The repetition of "rezaaa rezaaa" (pray, pray) emphasizes the helplessness of the situation and the desperate need for intervention.
The second verse shifts to the perspective of a young girl who is tired of the constant violence of planes and bullets. She longs for an end to the rain of fire and instead wants to continue playing the game that will never be forgotten. The repetition of "salvamee salvamee" throughout the song reinforces the urgency of seeking salvation from the chaos and destruction of war.
Overall, "Salyame" is a powerful song that speaks to the universal desire for safety and peace, particularly in times of conflict. The lyrics evoke a sense of hopelessness and despair, but also an inherent belief that salvation is possible and necessary.
