Além do Dinheiro

Filipe Ret's song "Além do Dinheiro" delves into themes of self-made success, personal freedom, and the pursuit of a lifestyle that transcends material wealth. The lyrics reflect Ret's journey from humble beginnings to a position of influence and affluence, emphasizing his role as a visionary who has carved his own path. The repeated mention of being called a visionary highlights his pride in his achievements and his ability to foresee and create his future. This self-made success is a significant aspect of the song, as Ret takes pride in his independence and the respect he has garnered.

The song also explores the hedonistic aspects of Ret's lifestyle, with references to partying, smoking, and enjoying the company of women. These elements are portrayed as part of his reward for his hard work and success. The line "Tô rico além do dinheiro" (I'm rich beyond money) suggests that his wealth is not just financial but also encompasses a sense of freedom, fulfillment, and enjoyment of life. This idea of being 'rich beyond money' is central to the song, indicating that true wealth includes personal satisfaction and the ability to live life on one's own terms.

Additionally, the song touches on themes of resilience and defiance. Ret dismisses negativity and criticism, focusing instead on his goals and desires. The lyrics convey a sense of living without fear and embracing new experiences, as well as a rejection of conforming to others' expectations. This defiance is encapsulated in the line "Enquanto tu for o que os outros querem, tu não vai ser nada" (As long as you are what others want, you will be nothing), which underscores the importance of authenticity and self-determination in Ret's philosophy.
