Lenda (feat. Filipe Ret)

In 'Lenda,' Borges and Filipe Ret explore the complexities of wealth, fame, and the relentless pursuit of success. The song opens with a recurring motif: a notebook in hand and the act of spending money on expensive clothes. This imagery sets the stage for a narrative that delves into the artists' reflections on their lifestyles and the societal pressures that come with it. The repeated question, 'E eu me pergunto por que eu sou assim' (And I wonder why I am like this), suggests a deep introspection about their choices and the materialistic world they inhabit.

Borges' verses highlight his addiction to making money and his dream of becoming rich. He acknowledges the disdain from others but remains steadfast in his belief that everyone has their destiny. The mention of a Glock and driving a Velar symbolizes both his success and the dangers that come with it. Borges contemplates his legacy, stating that if he dies, he will become a legend, and if he lives, he will continue to prosper. This duality reflects the precarious balance between life and death in the pursuit of greatness, with a nod to divine judgment as the ultimate decider of his fate.

Filipe Ret's contribution adds another layer to the song, emphasizing the contradictions in their lives. He speaks of the progress they've made, the legal battles they've faced, and the envy from others. Ret's lines, 'Sou uma contradição, o impuro que faz a pura' (I am a contradiction, the impure that makes the pure), encapsulate the paradox of their existence. Despite their flaws and the morally ambiguous paths they've taken, they continue to strive for success and recognition. The song's chorus, with its catchy repetition, underscores the relentless cycle of spending and questioning, ultimately portraying a life that is both glamorous and fraught with existential dilemmas.
