Castles in the sky

Through the distortion, the voice is saying "la cocaina no es bueno por tu salud." Both this health warning about cocaine and this video are on the the line between over-earnestness and self-parody. Which is only appropriate for a band with a She-Ra derived name. That is, a bit of thinking is required to discern whether it's parody, nostalgia, or both.

So it's good that excellent programming and production work on the voice are self-evidently quite nicely done.

The lyrics aren't actually saying that, it's only a fan guessing what the cryptic message is. The video is a fan-made video. It's pretty good quality for an unofficial video, someone should send it to the band.

Heh, goes to show how expectations can shape perception - I read that interpretation and it sounded pretty convincing.
