In 2012 the band won the contest "Som Para Todos", which included a concert at the Planeta Terra Festival in São Paulo and a distribution contract with Deckdisc.
According to keyboardist Chris Botarelli, the band's name does not mean anything special; it was a mere sugestion of vocalist Emily Barreto's mother that ended up pleasing the band members after they failed to reach an agreement.[2] At the same occasion, she also explained that the band don't see a problem at writing English lyrics since the public from Rio Grande do Norte (the band's home state) has been receiving it well.
In October 2012, the band released their first EP, Stereochrome, with four tracks. In may 2014, it was released their first album by Deckdisc, modeHuman, containing 15 tracks including four songs re-recorded from the EP.
In 2014, they played at the FIFA Fan Fest event in Natal, during the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Cobra
Far From Alaska Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Oh yeah, oh right, you don't use a knife
You use this motherfucking poison
Like a red spitting cobra
A red spitting cobra
Creeping calls no attention
Shades of red for disguise
Wait on words to collide
What doesn't kill me might kill someone else
So move on, I know we should get along
Yeah, yeah, I wish you'd had enough and leave it alone
But you don't, so I'll remind you this before I'm gone
That if you wanna leave a scar you have to cut a little deeper
Oh yeah, oh right, you don't use a knife
You use this motherfucking poison
Like a red spitting cobra
A red spitting cobra
But if you wanna leave a scar you have to cut a little deeper
Oh yeah, oh right, you don't use a knife
You use this motherfucking poison
Like a red spitting cobra
A red spitting cobra
Oh my god, I feel intoxicated
Dizzy, disturbed, enraged, it's so frustrating
Why? Did I ever do anything to deserve this kind of
Oh my god, I feel intoxicated
Dizzy, disturbed, enraged, it's so frustrating
Why? Why? Why?
But if you wanna leave a scar you have to cut a little deeper
Oh yeah, oh right, you don't use a knife
You use this motherfucking poison
Like a red spitting cobra
A red spitting cobra
But if you wanna leave a scar you have to cut a little deeper
Oh yeah, oh right, you don't use a knife
You use this motherfucking poison
Like a red spitting cobra
A red spitting cobra
The lyrics to Far From Alaska's song "Cobra" depict a situation where someone is dealing with a toxic and harmful individual. The song explores the idea that if you want to inflict lasting damage on someone, you have to go beyond mere physical harm and instead resort to emotional manipulation and poisonous behavior.
The opening lines, "But if you wanna leave a scar you have to cut a little deeper, Oh yeah, oh right, you don't use a knife, You use this motherfucking poison," suggest that the singer is aware of the power of emotional manipulation. Instead of using a physical weapon like a knife, they employ psychological tactics to hurt their target. The image of a "red spitting cobra" is used metaphorically to symbolize the poisonous nature of their actions.
The following lines, "Creeping calls no attention, Shades of red for disguise, Prey on trash talks and kill the truce, Wait on words to collide," describe how this toxic individual operates. They operate in the shadows, disguising their true intentions with deceptive behavior and manipulative words. They thrive on conflict, actively seeking out opportunities for confrontation and strife.
The chorus repeats the message that if one wants to leave a lasting impact on someone, they need to go beyond physical harm. The use of profanity emphasizes the severity and intentional cruelty behind the emotional damage inflicted. The metaphor of the "red spitting cobra" is reinforced, serving as a reminder of the destructive force the toxic individual possesses.
The bridge of the song expresses the frustration and confusion felt by the singer. They feel intoxicated, dizzy, disturbed, and enraged by the toxic person's actions and wonder why they have become a target. It showcases the emotional toll that dealing with a toxic individual takes on them.
Overall, "Cobra" delves into the complexities of toxic relationships and the destructive power of emotional manipulation. It serves as a cautionary tale about the lasting scars that can be inflicted when someone resorts to poisonous behavior instead of physical violence.

Torcendo muito para a banda trilhar muitas tours overseas, pois, se dependerem da cena de Pindorama, temo pelo futuro. Que busquem seu profissionalismo, pois aqui serão sugados para o amadorismo, principalmente porque o público tem escorpião no bolso e acha que ingresso de R$ 15,00 já está caro demais quando se trata de banda nacional. Façam das tripas coração para se jogarem na estradas estrangeiras, pois lá está a vida de vocês.
E que não façam bobagens experimentalóides para atender críticos, pois esses são os que mais cobram coisas do tipo e são exatamente os que não se constrangem em descer o sarrafo sem dó quando a identidade se perde. Identidade é muito difícil de conseguir e a banda já tem uma cara, pois a voz da Emily é inesquecível e cheia de nuances, além do marcante instrumental encorpado. Deixem para cometer um CD (Crime Discográfico) quando a banda já estiver lá pelos seus dezoito anos de carreira consolidada e ao menos uma dezena de discos na bagagem. Até lá, preservem a tão cara identidade, a pegada, a visceralidade. Que colham os melhores e mais saborosos frutos!
LONG LIVE F/\R FROM /\L/\SK/\! \m/
