Shippuden

In 'Shippuden,' 7 Minutoz delves into the harsh realities of adulthood, juxtaposing them with the innocence and dreams of youth. The song's title, 'Shippuden,' is a reference to the popular anime 'Naruto Shippuden,' which follows the protagonist's journey from childhood to adulthood. This metaphor sets the stage for the artist's exploration of growing up and the disillusionment that often accompanies it.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the struggles faced in adult life, from financial burdens to the loss of genuine friendships. The artist laments how the passage of time has seemingly erased his youthful spirit, leaving him feeling disconnected from his former self. The line 'Diferente dos meus vídeos, não me sinto Em Alta' (Unlike my videos, I don't feel on top) highlights the contrast between his public persona and his private struggles. This duality is further emphasized by references to cultural icons like Morpheus from 'The Matrix,' symbolizing the search for answers and the feeling of being trapped in a repetitive cycle.

The song also touches on deeper existential questions and mental health issues. The artist grapples with feelings of inadequacy and a desire to disappear, questioning the reality of his experiences and the authenticity of his actions. The recurring theme of not recognizing oneself in the mirror underscores a profound identity crisis. The mention of other young musicians who have passed away serves as a stark reminder of the pressures and pitfalls of fame. Ultimately, the artist realizes that achieving his dreams has not brought the happiness he expected, a sentiment encapsulated in the line 'Porque eu também realizei meu sonho, mas não me sinto feliz' (Because I also achieved my dream, but I don't feel happy).

'7 Minutoz' uses 'Shippuden' to offer a raw and introspective look at the complexities of adulthood, the loss of innocence, and the ongoing quest for self-fulfillment. The song resonates with anyone who has faced similar struggles, making it a poignant reflection on the human condition.
