After a wildly successful tour across South America in late 2005, the band decided, in their own words, to "stop for a while". Some of their members went on to form side band projects such as No Relax and The Locos. As time went by without further notices, many Ska-P fans feared the band had been gone for good. On late April 2008 and for the rejoice of their worldwide fans, they announced their return as a band on their official site.
Their new album, "Lágrimas y gozos", was released the 7th of October 2008 and its first single is called "Crimen sollicitationis". The band is going to perform various shows around South America and Europe in November and December.

Ska-P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Es un juego cruel de un sistema trivial
El horror, el placer, la miseria, el poder
El rencor, el amor, mira a tu alrededor
Pueblos enteros condenados al hambre
Niños obligados a la prostitución
Las guerras continúan devorando inocentes
Ven, vas a conocer nuestra civilización
La presunción de igualdad con aires de libertad
Qué hipocresía moral, producto del bienestar
Qué bonito es vivir si has nacido aquí.
Fábricas de armas que abastecen su muerte
La droga, el gran negocio, estando en la prohibición
Pateras que se hunden en puertas de Occidente
El sufrimiento humano les importa un cojón
Estás en el Planeta Eskoria, bienvenido al Planeta Eskoria
Ay Ay Ay Ay GENOCIDIO!
Qué suerte hay que tener al nacer!
Qué suerte hay que tener al nacer!
Qué suerte hay que tener al nacer!
Ya ha llegado el día de volar las fronteras
A qué estáis esperando para la insurrección?
La sangre de tus hijos llena nuestra nevera
Quién es el culpable de tu exterminación?
Estás en el Planeta Eskoria, bienvenido al Planeta Eskoria
Ay Ay Ay Ay GENOCIDIO!
Acaba con la especulación
Dispara contra tu humillación, GENOCIDIO!
Acaba con la especulación
Dispara contra tu humillación, GENOCIDIO!
The song "Planeta Eskoria" by Ska-P is a powerful critique of modern society, highlighting the cruelties and injustices that exist in the world. The opening lines invite the listener to come and get to know this "tender humanity," but quickly reveal that it is a cruel game of a trivial system. The song covers various themes such as power, misery, love, hate, and more. The lyrics also mention the suffering of entire nations battling poverty and hunger, as well as children being forced into prostitution, and people dying in wars.
The song also points out the hypocrisy of the world's supposed commitment to equality and freedom. The moral hypocrisy that comes with being privileged and living in comforts is depicted in the lyrics. The production of military weapons continues to thrive, and the drug trade remains a lucrative business despite being illegal. The song highlights how countries with such luxuries disregard the agony of those who live in poverty and pain around the globe.
Finally, the lyrics call for action and urges people to rise against the status quo. The promises of equality and freedom have faded, and it has become an illusion in the face of more significant issues. The song calls for a revolution, to end the oppression and sufferings of the people worldwide.
