After parting … Read Full Bio ↴André Coelho Matos (14 September 1971 – 08 June 2019)
After parting ways with Shaman in 2006, Brazilian singer Andre Matos (ex-Angra, ex-Viper, ex-Shaman, ex-Looking-Glass Self, Virgo) decided to found a band under his own name (NOTE: The name of this project is NOT "André Matos", please do not edit the wiki to reflect that). Bringing along with him all the members of Shaman save for drummer Ricardo Confessori, Andre Matos began work on his debut CD in 2006. The lineup was originally completed by drummer Rafael Rosa, who had to leave the band in early 2007 for personal reasons, before the release of the band's debut album "Time To Be Free". Rafael was replaced by Brazilian drum prodigy Eloy Casagrande who was made a full member of the band in 2007.
Current Lineup:
Andre Matos - Vocals & Piano (2006-)
Hugo Mariutti - Guitars (2006-)
André Hernandez - Guitars (2006-)
Luis Mariutti - Bass (2006-)
Fabio Ribeiro - Keyboards (2006-)
Eloy Casagrande - Drums (2007-)
Former Members:

Stop!
Andre Matos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You desert them all instead
Every pulse that pumps your veins
Just reminds you of the weight
All over you...
Simply for a little joy
You neglect and then destroy
When your self-esteem is low
When you find nowhere to go
Stop!... the world can't wait!
You won't find a crystal ball
Throughout the haze
It's about time
To quit that maze
Nothing justifies your pain
For there's no one else to blame
The lyrics of "Stop!" by Andre Matos reflect the emotional turmoil of a person who is unable to cope with their own thoughts and feelings. The song starts by expressing how the person is constantly at war with themselves in their head, but instead of facing the battles, they end up deserting them. The constant reminders of their own weight and the struggle within themselves become overwhelming. They seek joy but end up neglecting and destroying the essential questions in their mind, leading to feeling suffocated and trapped.
As the song progresses, the lyrics urge the person to stop and understand that the world can't wait for them to figure everything out. There is no crystal ball that will give them all the answers, and it's time to quit that maze of their thoughts. The song acknowledges that it's hard when someone's self-esteem is low, but eventually, one needs to take responsibility for their actions and stop blaming others for their pain.
Overall, the song "Stop!" is about self-realization and taking accountability for one's decisions rather than blaming external factors for everything going wrong. The lyrics encourage introspection and the understanding that one needs to stop running away from their problems if they ever hope to find happiness.

You declare wars in your head
You create conflicts and battles in your thoughts
You desert them all instead
You abandon these battles and do not fight for what you want
Every pulse that pumps your veins
Every heartbeat reminds you of your struggles
Just reminds you of the weight
These struggles weigh heavily on your mind and heart
All over you...
You feel burdened and overwhelmed by these battles
Simply for a little joy
You give up important things in search of momentary happiness
You neglect and then destroy
You ignore and ultimately ruin important aspects of your life
The key questions in your mind
You avoid seeking answers to important questions
When your self-esteem is low
When you lack confidence and belief in yourself

Stop!... the world can't wait!
It's time to take action and make changes before it's too late
You won't find a crystal ball
You can't predict the future and must act in the present
Throughout the haze
Despite confusion and uncertainty
It's about time

To quit that maze
To escape the cycle of destructive habits and choices

For there's no one else to blame
You must take responsibility for your actions and the outcomes
