Humanismo

Alegórica's song 'Humanismo' is a powerful critique of modern society, exploring themes of humanism, freedom, and the rejection of traditional systems of authority. The lyrics begin by celebrating the human being as a supreme entity, emphasizing the importance of freedom, simplicity, and happiness. The phrase 'carpe diem' underscores a desire to live in the moment and seize the day, reflecting a hedonistic approach to life.

The song then shifts to a critique of consumer culture and urban life, with references to 'fast food' and 'megalópole devora,' suggesting that the fast-paced, consumption-driven lifestyle of modern cities is devouring our humanity. The lyrics question the established order, asking who is more important than us, and assert the importance of individual rights and aspirations. The rejection of heroes and religious figures in favor of someone to take out the trash symbolizes a desire for practical, everyday solutions over grandiose ideals.

The chorus, 'Abaixo o sistema,' calls for the overthrow of the system, advocating for a universal human nation and the construction of a new Tower of Babel, symbolizing unity in diversity. The song promotes a militant tolerance of different beliefs, rejecting traditional religious definitions and purposes. The final verses embrace a universalist humanism without leaders or analysts, blending elements of anarchism, nihilism, and a superficial spirituality. 'Humanismo' is a call for a new world order based on human values, freedom, and the rejection of outdated systems of control.
