The band appeared on the Chilean music scene in 2005, as one of the finalists in the 6th annual National Young Band Festival at the Balmaceda Cultural Center, Santiago. Their first EP (self-titled) was released that year and a self-produced album, Gran Santiago, followed in April 2007. The song "Eras mi persona favorita" became their signature tune.
Attention from the Chilean media increased and they appeared several times on TV and radio. Their second album, Bailar y Llorrar, was released in 2008.
Then, suddenly, in October 2009 they announced that the band was separating, leaving the members to pursue solo projects. Anwandter released work as Odisea and, later, under his own name. Cristóbal Fredes is part of Los Mil Jinetes.
En un momento
Teleradio Donoso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me quedé ciego
Pero me parece que ya estoy mejor
Una pequeña droga me puede ayudar
No hay pastilla para lo que tengo yo
Por años hemos sido
Como una alarma de bomba
Vamos a explotar
En un momento me quiero quedar
Al otro momento me quiero escapar
En un momento nada es total
Quiero decirte que
No tengo nada que decir
Hasta cuando vamos a seguir asi
No es casualidad
Que yo me sienta solo
Me encantan los juegos estúpidos
Por años hemos sido
De ideas fijas
Que la gente no va a notar
En un momento me quiero quedar
Al otro momento me quiero escapar
En un momento nada es total
Por años hemos sido
De ideas fijas
Que la gente no va a notar
En un momento me quiero quedar
Al otro momento me quiero escapar
En un momento nada es total
En un dia estoy feliz
Al otro dia me quiero morir
En un momento todo es total
The lyrics of Teleradio Donoso's song En un momento reveal a state of emotional turmoil and instability. The opening lines reveal a confession of being momentarily blinded, taken figuratively as an inability to perceive clearly or make rational decisions. However, the singer also expresses a sense of relief as a small dose of a drug could help improve their condition. The lyrics suggest that the singer has a condition that cannot be fixed by medication, which adds to the complexity of their emotional state.
The lyrics further portray contradictory emotions and thoughts, with the singer expressing a desire to stay and a simultaneous urge to escape. This reflects the singer's inner conflict, and their state of mind seems to be in a constant state of flux. They then go on to express their frustration with the current state of affairs, questioning why things are the way they are and feeling lonely. The lyrics suggest that the singer is contemplating their feelings and thoughts and is frustrated with the games they play and the fixed ideas that they adhere to.
The song's chorus, "En un momento me quiero quedar, al otro momento me quiero escapar, en un momento nada es total," expresses the dynamic nature of the singer's emotional state. Nothing is constant, and everything changes in a moment. The final line, "En un momento todo es total," reveals that everything, including the contradictions, the frustrations, and the complexity of the singer's emotional state, is a part of a unified whole.
