Tras una llamativa demo publicada en 2017, el grupo estrena su primer larga duración en 2019 de la mano de Mont Ventoux: ‘Clara Oscuridad’. Grabado en los estudios del productor español Paco Loco, el disco es una muestra más de cómo la banda se ríe de las pequeñas miserias cotidianas a través de letras directas y melodías intencionadas e irónicamente felices.

Asesinos
amparito Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Asesinos de ciudades,
construyendo soledad,
se pasean por sus calles
con total impunidad.

Nichos de veinte pisos,
muertos que están por llegar,
el olor a lo vacío

a cementerio comunal.

Asesinos construyendo nichos.
Asesinos construyendo nichos
Asesinos, asesinos, asesinos.
Asesinos, asesinos, asesinos.

Asesinos de ciudades,
sentenciando desde el altar,
firman futuros para nadie
y se adelantan a tu funeral.

Nichos de 20 pisos,
buitres sobre el ventanal
el olor a lo podrido
a un esperado final.

Asesinos construyendo nichos.
Asesinos construyendo nichos

Asesinos, asesinos, asesinos.
Asesinos, asesinos, asesinos.

Overall Meaning

In the song "Asesinos" by Amparito, the lyrics describe the construction of high-rise tombs, called nichos, in the cities. The act of building these nichos is described as an act of murder, or "asesinato," as they are creating a final resting place for those who have yet to arrive. The lyrics also allude to the sense of emptiness and death that pervades the cities where these nichos are built. The oppressive atmosphere is described as a "cementerio comunal" or a communal cemetery, suggesting that the city is a graveyard in itself.

The second verse of the song alludes to the power held by those who are responsible for building these nichos. The people who sign the future of the city, "sentenciando desde el altar," are seen as murderers who are signing the fate of people who they will never meet. The buitres, or vultures, perched on the windows of the dead, reinforce the idea that the fate of the citizenry is in the hands of those with power, which they wield with impunity.

Overall, "Asesinos" is a searing critique of the power structures that exist in modern cities, where the wealthiest and most influential people are able to construct tombs for those who have yet to die, just as they control the fates of the people living in the cities.
