Desconecta

The song "Desconecta" by Daniel Salles is a poignant commentary on the modern world's obsession with technology and the internet. The lyrics paint a picture of individuals who are physically present but mentally absent, lost in a parallel world of screens and social networks. The song suggests that people have become more connected to their devices than to each other, creating a sense of isolation despite the illusion of connectivity.

Salles touches on the irony of how, in pursuit of digital connection, we often neglect the people and moments that truly matter. The song's chorus, which translates to 'Turn off! Disconnect! And without hurry, come enjoy the sunset with me,' serves as a call to action, urging listeners to step away from their gadgets and experience life's simple pleasures. The 'best file' Salles wants to share is not a digital one, but the precious time spent with loved ones. The repeated line 'The time with you!' emphasizes the value of personal interaction over virtual engagement.

The artist also delves into the consequences of our digital addiction, such as broken relationships and a sense of loneliness, despite being constantly 'connected.' The term 'post-graduates in solitude' is a powerful metaphor for the expertise we've developed in isolating ourselves. Salles challenges the listener to reconsider their priorities and make a conscious decision to live in the moment, rather than through a screen.
