#Aumentando

The song "#Aumentando" by O Incrível Mundo de Gumball offers a satirical and critical perspective on the current state of society, particularly focusing on the impact of technology and social media. The lyrics paint a picture of a world that has survived significant historical events like the Ice Age, plagues, and world wars, only to now face a new kind of threat: the widespread ignorance and gullibility facilitated by the digital age. The song uses humor and irony to highlight how people are increasingly becoming 'boçais' (fools) with computers in their hands, suggesting that the rise of technology has not necessarily led to a more enlightened society.

The chorus, "Sinta o fim chegando com a burrice em #aumentando," translates to "Feel the end coming with stupidity increasing." This line encapsulates the song's main message: the proliferation of misinformation and the decline of critical thinking are leading society towards a metaphorical end. The lyrics criticize how people spend their nights online, acting like puppets controlled by Big Brother, sacrificing their privacy and clicking on meaningless content. This imagery evokes a sense of dystopia, where individuals are manipulated and distracted by trivialities.

The song also addresses the spread of fake news and the erosion of intellectual integrity. Lines like "Só compartilham fake news, seus cérebros são doentios" (They only share fake news, their brains are sick) emphasize the detrimental effects of misinformation. The absurd promises of instant gratification, such as growing hair or getting a prettier face by clicking on links, further mock the gullibility of internet users. The song concludes with a sense of resignation, acknowledging that these very people are the ones who keep the world turning, leaving us with no choice but to watch everything burn.
