Canção Para o Circular

The song "Canção Para o Circular" by Airam Capuani presents a satirical take on the educational system and the broader societal expectations placed on individuals. The lyrics begin with a student's desire to learn the alphabet, but the system only teaches up to a certain point, symbolizing the incomplete and inadequate education provided. The repetition of being expelled for complaining reflects a society that does not tolerate dissent or critical thinking, pushing out those who question the status quo.

The second verse explores the idea of alternative paths when traditional education fails. The student humorously considers becoming a guru in India, traveling to Mars, or building an igloo at the North Pole. These exaggerated alternatives underscore the student's frustration and the lengths they would go to find purpose and meaning outside the conventional educational framework. The mention of biking towards the sun or stopping at a bar until the return of Jesus adds a layer of escapism and the search for salvation in an absurd world.

The final verse critiques the pursuit of fame and superficial success. The reference to abandoning academic aspirations for reality TV shows like 'Big Brother Brazil' (BBB) or becoming a social media influencer on TikTok suggests a cynical view of modern fame and the trivialization of genuine achievement. The abrupt ending with the expulsion for wanting Korean food, followed by an indifferent dismissal, encapsulates the song's theme of a system that is indifferent to individual needs and desires, prioritizing conformity over personal growth.
