A Gratidão Saiu de Moda (feat. Tom Calvário)
Thiagão
Rediscovering Gratitude in a Material World
Thiagão's song "A Gratidão Saiu de Moda (feat. Tom Calvário)" delves into the modern-day struggle of finding contentment and gratitude amidst a culture obsessed with material success. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of individuals who are constantly comparing themselves to others, feeling inadequate because they don't possess the luxuries flaunted by influencers and celebrities. This sense of inadequacy leads to frustration and a feeling of being trapped in a cycle of unfulfilled desires.
The song highlights the importance of gratitude as a means of resisting the urge to give up when faced with life's challenges. Thiagão contrasts the dissatisfaction of those who have much but still complain, with the resilience of those who find strength in being grateful for what they have, no matter how little. The lyrics suggest that the relentless pursuit of material wealth can turn people into slaves to their desires, leading to isolation and a lack of genuine human connection.
Thiagão also reflects on his personal journey, sharing his past struggles and the impact of his actions on his family. He acknowledges the emptiness that comes from chasing superficial pleasures and the importance of valuing the people who truly care for us. The recurring theme of gratitude is emphasized as a counterbalance to the modern tendency to celebrate only grand achievements. The song ultimately conveys that true fulfillment comes from appreciating the simple blessings in life and the presence of loved ones, rather than the accumulation of wealth and status.
