The band started in march of 2004, when Karen and Chanto got together to start a new music venture. This would be their second time together in a band, since they had previously been in Prana, a Trip Hop trio a few years back. Joe, Juan and Diego would latter join them, giving birth to SATIN DOLLS.
Influenced mainly by new wave, punk and a new worldwide rock scene, the band began writing songs. At the same time they started performing in the main Rock and Roll venues of Mexico City, and after just six months of playing together signed a record contract with Universal Music Mexico.
In October of 2005, the band traveled to Miami, to record part of their first E.P, with the Argentinean producer Gustavo Menendez (Volumen Cero, Circo, JD Natasha, Cohete). A few months latter, they recorded two more songs with Emmanuel "Meme" del Real, who happens to be a band member of Café Tacvba, and has worked as a producer with many artists (Ely Guerra, Natalia y la Forquetina, Liquits).
During these two years of playing together, Satin Dolls have been in places such as Bulldog, Hard Rock Live, Pasaguero, Salon 21, and Vive Latino. The band is currently promoting their new album, titled "Luces y Sombras" and their second single, "Perdiendo la Razón".

Dime
Satin Dolls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
porque me estaba escondiendo.
No quiero sentir tus manos
porque me duele soltarte.
Ya no quiero enamorarme,
las soledad me proteje.
No quiero mas ilusiones,
tus palabras me reviven.
¿A donde vas conmigo?
Nada tiene sentido
todo principio tiene un fin.
No vuelvo a sentir.
No vuelvo a sentir...
Dime ¿como me salvaste?
Cuando queria ahogarme.
No quiero probar tus labios,
porque voy a extrañarlos.
¿A donde vas conmigo?
Nada tiene sentido
todo principio tiene un fin.
No vuelvo a sentir.
No intentes mas conmigo
no puedo estar contigo.
Todo principio tiene un fin.
No vuelvo a sentir.
Te quiero dejar,
te quiero dejar,
te quiero dejar y no puedo.
Te quiero dejar,
te quiero dejar,
te quiero dejar y no puedo.
Vete, estoy loca por ti
prefiero perderte a quererte.
¿A donde vas conmigo?
Nada tiene sentido
todo principio tiene un fin.
No vuelvo a sentir.
Vete, y a momentitos
me hieres, me desquito
todo principio llega a un fin.
Entonces vuelves a sufrir.
Te quiero dejar,
te quiero dejar,
te quiero dejar y no puedo.
Te quiero dejar,
te quiero dejar,
te quiero dejar y no puedo.
The lyrics to "Dime" by Satin Dolls describe a complicated, tumultuous relationship between two people. The singer is hesitant to allow the other person to touch them because they know it will only cause them pain when they have to let go. They express a desire to avoid falling in love again, with the loneliness protecting them from the risks of emotions. At the same time, the other person's words revive something within them, making it difficult to resist. The singer questions where they are going with the other person and whether any of it makes sense, as they no longer want to feel the way they did before.
The chorus repeats the idea that everything has an end point, and that the singer does not want to feel that same kind of pain again. The second verse describes the other person as a savior in a moment when the singer was drowning, but they still do not want to taste the other person's lips because they know they will only miss them. The song ends with the singer telling the other person to leave, even though they are struggling to do so.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of internal conflict and emotional turmoil within a relationship that is complicated and painful. The repetition of the idea that everything has an end reinforces the fragility and impermanence of human connections.
