Mangekyo Sharingan
7 Minutoz
The Price of Fame: A Tale of Deception and Ambition
In the song 'Mangekyo Sharingan' by 7 Minutoz, the artist delves into the themes of fame, deception, and the lengths people will go to achieve recognition. The title itself is a reference to the popular anime 'Naruto,' where the Mangekyo Sharingan is a powerful eye technique used by the Uchiha clan, often associated with immense power and the willingness to sacrifice personal relationships for greater strength. This metaphor sets the stage for the song's exploration of how fame can corrupt and lead to betrayal.
The lyrics describe a scenario where the artist is aware of a person's superficial interest in him, driven by his newfound fame and success. The lines 'Antes, não queria nada comigo / Agora que eu tô cheio de inscritos / De repente eu fiquei bonito' highlight the sudden shift in how people perceive him now that he has gained popularity. This change in behavior is likened to the Uchiha clan's Mangekyo Sharingan, which symbolizes doing anything for fame, even if it means hurting loved ones.
The chorus reinforces this idea, repeating 'Mangekyo Sharingan / Faz de tudo por fama / Até ferir quem se ama,' emphasizing the destructive nature of seeking fame at any cost. The artist warns against fake friends and insincere relationships, noting that envy and deceit are prevalent in his path to success. By using the Mangekyo Sharingan as a metaphor, 7 Minutoz effectively conveys the message that the pursuit of fame can lead to moral compromise and the loss of genuine connections.
