De Volta Para o Futuro

In his song "De Volta Para o Futuro," Fabio Brazza paints a grim picture of a dystopian future, set around the year 3000. The lyrics describe a world that has succumbed to the cold predictions of Nostradamus, where humanity has become robotic and emotionally detached. The song opens with a portrayal of a chaotic world where people are increasingly isolated from one another, living in a state of denial about their dire circumstances. Brazza uses vivid imagery to depict a society where sadness is considered a disease and happiness is a synthetic drug, highlighting the loss of genuine human emotions.

The song delves into the ethical and moral decay of humanity, touching on themes like genetic manipulation, religious extremism, and environmental destruction. Brazza describes a future where humans are reduced to mere mathematical formulas, and ethical boundaries are constantly challenged. The lyrics also mention the rise of mechanical men with chips implanted in their bodies, flying cars guided by GPS, and the extinction of numerous species. This bleak vision extends to the geopolitical landscape, with new nuclear weapons and the fall of the Amazon rainforest, turning Brazil into a colony and Earth into a modern-day Babylon.

Brazza's lyrics also critique the loss of cultural and intellectual values. He laments the decline of literature and poetry, replaced by smartphones and tablets, and the erosion of social interactions, now mediated by apps. The song references George Orwell's "Big Brother," suggesting a surveillance state where even the sky is monitored. The overarching message is a warning against the unchecked pursuit of progress and technological advancement at the expense of humanity's core values. Brazza questions whether love or ego guides us, and he pleads for divine intervention to prevent this dystopian future, expressing a deep sense of foreboding that his vision might not be just a dream but a real possibility.
