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.

Divide Us
Hateen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Words will never show
I'm so sorry and you will never know
So here's the final chapter
We've got tired of staging
This is the part where one will suffer
I play my character for the last time
I guess this is the end for me and you
We can collapse but can't deceive the truth
Press the rec button and erase the tapes
I don't wanna be something at your room floor
Covered by the evidence
That is not me there with you
The silence I destroy with my farewell glance
Could make you see what you're leaving behind
You can divide us
But you can't keep me by your side
I gave half of me for you
'cause half of me is you
And half of you for me
Won't make me complete
You ask me to live
Incomplete by your side
Sorry but I don't wanna be (live)
So close to you to to make you so far from me
The days will stain our lives with pain
Then everyday
Will be an empty day
Your phone rings
But it's never me
In "Divide Us" by Hateen, the song explores the heart-wrenching decision to end a relationship. The lyrics express regret and sorrow for the end of a relationship, but also a sense of inevitability that the decision has been made. The first verse begins with the recognition that words will never be enough to express the depth of feelings and emotions surrounding the breakup. The singer expresses regret for the pain the breakup has caused, acknowledging that the other person will never fully grasp the depth of that pain. The final chapter has arrived, and both parties are tired of pretending that everything is okay. The song describes the final act of the relationship as a kind of performance for an audience of two. The singer recognizes that this is the end for them, and despite the desire to hold onto the relationship, the truth cannot be denied. The last verse describes the difficulty of moving on after a breakup. The lyrics express a desire to break away from the relationship entirely, recognizing that incomplete halves of each other cannot make a whole.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the difficulties of ending a relationship. Despite the pain, the track recognizes that sometimes it is necessary to move on and recognize the truth of the situation. The song is an apt reflection for anyone who has gone through a difficult breakup and recognizes the difficulty of trying to keep a relationship working.

Words will never show
What I want to express can't be put into words
I'm so sorry and you will never know
I feel regretful and apologetic, but you will never find out
So here's the final chapter
This is the end of our relationship
We've got tired of staging
We are tired of pretending and putting on a show
This is the part where one will suffer
Someone will have to bear the pain of separation
I play my character for the last time
I'm playing my role one last time
For an audience made of two
We are the only ones witnessing this
I guess this is the end for me and you
This is where our relationship ends
We can collapse but can't deceive the truth
Our relationship can break, but we can't ignore the reality of our situation
Press the rec button and erase the tapes
Let's forget the past and move on
I don't wanna be something at your room floor
I don't want to be a forgotten memory in your life
Covered by the evidence
Forgotten and covered by time
That is not me there with you
I'm not the same person I used to be with you
The silence I destroy with my farewell glance
I break the silence with my final goodbye
Could make you see what you're leaving behind
Maybe you'll realize what you're losing by letting me go
You can divide us
You can separate us physically
But you can't keep me by your side
You can't make me stay with you
I gave half of me for you
I sacrificed a part of myself for you
'cause half of me is you
Because you were a big part of my life
And half of you for me
And you gave a part of yourself to me too
Won't make me complete
But that was not enough to make me feel whole
You ask me to live
You ask me to go on living
Incomplete by your side
But I can't continue living an incomplete life with you
Sorry but I don't wanna be (live)
I'm sorry, but I can't continue living with you
So close to you to to make you so far from me
Being so near to you, but feeling so far away
The days will stain our lives with pain
The memories of our relationship will be stained with the pain of our separation
Then everyday
Every day after this
Will be an empty day
Will be a sad and empty day
Your phone rings
You receive a phone call
But it's never me
But it's never me who's calling you
