Preemergencia

Joe Vasconcellos' song 'Preemergencia' is a powerful critique of modern society, highlighting the urgent need for change in our attitudes and systems. The lyrics delve into the high cost of modernity, both financially and environmentally, and the desperation for solutions to the pollution and mental strain caused by contemporary lifestyles. The repeated plea for 'no more lies' and 'more attitude' underscores a demand for honesty and proactive behavior in addressing these issues.

The song criticizes the consumer culture that dominates modern life, pointing out that consumption does not bring true happiness. Vasconcellos suggests that society is manipulated into wanting things that prevent deep thinking, such as success and physical appearance. This manipulation is seen as a barrier to genuine fulfillment and mental well-being. The call to 'legalize a change' and 'think positive' emphasizes the need for a shift in mindset and the importance of seizing opportunities to make meaningful changes.

Vasconcellos also touches on the cultural crisis, expressing a desire to help but acknowledging the overwhelming influence of business interests that stifle critical thinking. The song ends with a powerful assertion of individual rights, including the right to breathe, express opinions, and demand change. This final declaration reinforces the song's overall message: the need for a collective awakening and a proactive approach to creating a better, more sustainable future.
