Influencied by punk rock, hardcore and indie rock, the group tries to keep its own style and to play a very personal music.

Specially in the lyrics, the group shows the real and sincere feelings of daily situations, with a strong emotional content.

That's maybe the reason why they create such a big involvement with their public.

Rodrigo Koala [guitar and vocal], Ricardo di Roberto [drums], and Cesar Santisteban [bass and vocal] gave concerts all over the country, recorded their first demo "Blind Youth" and the first album "Hydrophobia" (Choice Records). In 1996, another guitar player, Boris Fratogianni, joined the group and they recorded, in 1998, the album "Feeling like Nick" (Holiday Records), which is sold out. A few months after, Santisteban left the group and Fernando Sanches [[artist]Dance of Days, Small Talk, Againe, Van Damien, actually CPM 22] took his place.
"Teenage X-Mas Song" was recorded in 2001, in a CD specially made for a Christmas Party at the Hangar 110, a punk rock night-club in Sao Paulo, with the four of them, plus Maurício Takara. The first live album, "More Live Than Dead", was recorded in 2002, at the Hangar 110. The group has also a cover of the American band Husker Dü (Don't Wanna Know if You're Lonely). At the end of 2002, Fernando Sanches has left the group and Andre Abreu (Dé) joined it.

The aim of the group is still the same as it was in the beggining: play as much as possible, at the most different places and keep the integrity of emotion of its music.

Now Hateen is playing in portuguese
currently is formed by Rodrigo Koala (guitar/vocals), Fabrizio Martinelli (guitar, ex-Zeroleft, Fistt, Street Bulldogs), Sonrisal (bass, ex-Predial, Street Bulldogs) and Xim (drums).

Circus
Hateen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember what you've been told
No one cares if you're down
What´s supposed to be your life
It's a circus and you are the clown
We live in a circus (We love in a circus)
We love in a circus (We hate in a circus)
Remember what you've been told before you get too old
No more feelings

No more stupid words
Shameless of being yourself now
No more disappointments no more fear
It's your time to shine now
(The show is over the clow is dead)
Forget what you´ve been told
Forget it all but don't forget yourself
If there´s something you should now
you're not a clown and your life is not a show
No more feelings
No more stupid words
Shameless of being yourself now
No more disappointments no more fear
It's your time to shine now

(The show is over the clow is dead)
Let's go

Overall Meaning

The song "Circus" by the Brazilian band Hateen is a powerful anthem that speaks to the struggles of feeling like an outsider in a world that can seem cruel and uncaring. The lyrics remind the listener that no one cares if they are down and that their life is a circus, with them being the clown. The song urges the listener to forget what they've been told and to be shameless in being themselves. It also speaks to the idea of not letting fear or disappointment hold you back from shining and being your best self.

The opening line of the song, "Remember what you've been told," sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. It's a call to arms for the listener to remember that they are not alone in their struggles and that they have the power to overcome them. The idea that no one cares if you're down can be a hard pill to swallow, but it's an important reminder that we all must take responsibility for our own lives.

The chorus, "We live in a circus, We love in a circus," speaks to the idea that we are all a part of one big show, and that we must learn to navigate it in order to be successful. The idea of loving and hating in a circus speaks to the emotional highs and lows that come with being a part of this crazy world we live in. The song ultimately ends on a positive note, urging the listener to forget what they've been told, but never forget who they are.
