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.
Dino vs Dino
Far From Alaska Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Back in the time when they were good to go
'Weird nights' rephrasing what he said before
Twisting words, summoning everyone
"You knew I couldn't hold my words
Even though I wanted to
And I knew what I supposed to do
She says, "I gotta tell you my story, man
The right story, man"
(Because yours is a lie)
Wait, shut, I gotta tell you my story, man
The whole story, man
Have you lost your mind?
We know you were a part of it
I should have known that you would screw it all again
I'll tell you what's so funny
I thought that I could trust in you
'Cause when you did the same I was taken for a fool
Well done, you won your bloody prize
I hope you're happy and satisfied
She says, "I gotta tell you my story, man
The right story, man"
(Because yours is a lie)
Wait, shut, I gotta tell you my story, man
The whole story, man
The lyrics to the song 'Dino vs Dino' by Far From Alaska are powerful and convey a range of emotions. The song appears to be about a situation where one person is trying to take control of a situation by twisting words and making others believe that they are nice, but in reality, they are not. The opening lines "You're so nice', he said to them a while ago, Back in the time when they were good to go" set the tone for the rest of the song. It appears that the person who is being referred to was once trusted and respected by others, but they have now lost that trust because of their actions.
The chorus of the song serves as an indictment of the person's behavior, with the line "Have you lost your mind? We know you were a part of it" suggesting that they have done something wrong but are unwilling to take responsibility for their actions. The line "I should have known that you would screw it all again" implies that this is not the first time they have created problems for others. The song ends on a bitter note with the lines "Well done, you won your bloody prize, I hope you're happy and satisfied," indicating that the person's actions have caused significant harm to others.
Overall, the lyrics of 'Dino vs Dino' seem to be a commentary on the difficulty of trusting others and the consequences of betrayal. The song is a powerful reminder of the importance of honesty and integrity in our relationships with others.

po Ugo, você não sabe a nossa felicidade lendo seu comentário! muito obrigada cara, de verdade :)

Vocês estão arrasando!
Em 2013 foi a primeira vez que vi vocês tocarem e confesso que entrei em um estado que não tem nome, fiquei passado, pasmo, azul, bege e juro que nem conseguia me mover de tão lesado que eu tava. Não é o estilo musical que escuto e que me instiga, sou mais da cultura popular, do regional, do coco de zambê, maracatu, afoxé e samba e nunca imaginei na minha vida que iria me hipnotizar tanto com um som desses, juro.
GENTE, brilhem cada dia mais, vocês estão super super de parabéns. Tenho certeza que vocês vão alcançar coisas lindíssimas pela frente, o mundo é de vocês.
Desejo muita luz, sucesso, grana pra melhorar o trabalho, pé no chão, humildade, e que pelamordji levem o nome dessa cidade pro mundo, não somos carentes de bons artistas, temos Luiz, Simona, Juão, Khystalina, Angela, Tiquinha, Baya, a galera do Plutão e etc... mas somos carentes de artistas que realmente levem o nome da nossa cidade pro mundo e vocês estão com a faca e o queijo na mão, lindezas!
Beijos carinhosos de um, não fã, mas de um grande admirador de um trabalho MUITO BEM FEITO, ARRASADOR, BARRA PESADA, GENIAL, COISINHA, NGM SÁI!
