Quantas Mais

O Teatro Mágico's song 'Quantas Mais' delves into the intricate relationship between perception, time, and the human experience. The opening lines, 'Mundo / Que é feito da nossa percepção,' set the stage for a philosophical exploration of reality as a construct of our perceptions. The lyrics suggest that while defects and sudden occurrences are inevitable, solutions are always within reach, emphasizing a hopeful outlook on life's unpredictability.

The song's contemplation of silence, 'O que assusta é o silêncio,' highlights the fear and discomfort that can arise from the absence of noise or activity. This silence can be interpreted as a metaphor for moments of introspection or the unknown, which often provoke anxiety. The recurring imagery of 'Luas / Sempre cheias de serenatas' and 'Ruas / Sempre cheias de sementes' paints a picture of a world brimming with potential and creativity, where ideas and struggles are constantly being sown and reaped.

Time is another central theme in 'Quantas Mais,' described as existing only as eternity and being fractioned by our will. This notion challenges the conventional understanding of time, suggesting that it is a construct shaped by human desire and hope. The lyrics 'Insiste em nos esperançar pros dias' reflect an enduring optimism, urging listeners to remain hopeful for the future. The song also touches on social and political themes, with lines like 'Quantas mais revoltas / Clamam paz de volta,' calling for peace amidst ongoing struggles and revolts. This duality of personal introspection and collective action makes 'Quantas Mais' a profound and thought-provoking piece.
