Ekballo (Evangelho de Fariseus)

Guimarães21's song "Ekballo (Evangelho de Fariseus)" is a powerful critique of modern religious practices, particularly within the Christian community. The lyrics express a deep concern about how the church has shifted its focus from genuine spiritual values to self-serving interests. The song opens with a stark observation of how religious activities have become self-centered, with campaigns and events organized for personal gain rather than for the community or spiritual growth. The artist laments that the church has turned into a business, where financial contributions are prioritized over the well-being of its members' hearts.

The song also reflects on the artist's personal journey and growth over the past seven years. Guimarães21 reminisces about a time when everything was simpler, and his future was just a plan in his room. This nostalgia is contrasted with his current disillusionment with the state of the church. Despite this, the artist remains committed to his calling, emphasizing the importance of spreading the gospel and staying true to one's mission, regardless of the challenges faced. He speaks of his identity as a chosen one, carrying a legacy that transcends mere words and actions.

In "Ekballo," Guimarães21 also addresses the superficiality of religious practices, challenging the Pharisaic attitudes that prioritize appearances over genuine faith. He asserts his resilience and determination to fulfill his spiritual mission, undeterred by criticism or misunderstanding. The repeated invocation of "Ekballo," a Greek term meaning "to send out," underscores the urgency and readiness to take action, to be sent into the world to share the message of faith. The song is a call to return to authentic spirituality, to focus on the true essence of faith, and to reject the commercialization of religion.
