Indústria Dos Sonhos

Valete's song 'Indústria Dos Sonhos' delves into the grim realities of life under capitalism, challenging the often romanticized notion of achieving dreams. The lyrics paint a stark picture of a world where suffering is inevitable, and the pursuit of wealth and success is a futile endeavor. Valete critiques the idea that everyone can become rich, labeling it as naive and disconnected from the harsh truths of capitalism. He emphasizes that for many, life is a constant struggle, marked by precarious living conditions and inherited debts, rather than prosperity and fulfillment.

The song also touches on the emotional and psychological toll of this relentless pursuit. Valete recounts the tragic story of his friend Eduardo, who committed suicide, questioning whether it is more courageous to end one's suffering or to continue enduring it. This poignant narrative underscores the mental health crisis that often accompanies the pressures of modern life. The lyrics further explore the disillusionment of those who migrate from rural areas to cities in search of better opportunities, only to find that urban life is a 'cemetery of the living,' filled with broken dreams and unfulfilled promises.

Valete's repeated assertion that 'peace of mind is an illusion' and that 'our destiny is to suffer' serves as a powerful refrain, reinforcing the song's central theme of existential despair. The chorus, shared with Bónus, echoes the sentiment that victory is unattainable and that every plan is doomed to fail. This bleak outlook is a stark contrast to the often optimistic messages found in mainstream music, offering a sobering reflection on the human condition and the societal structures that perpetuate inequality and suffering.
