Melhor Agora

Filipe Ret's 'Melhor Agora' is a song that encapsulates the artist's journey through adversity and his rise to a better place in life. The lyrics are a testament to Ret's resilience and determination, as he compares himself to the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali, known for his strength and skill. The reference to Ali suggests that Ret sees himself as a fighter, not just in the physical sense, but in the metaphorical sense of battling life's challenges.

The song delves into the theme of overcoming illusions and temptations that the world offers, such as vices and superficial relationships. Ret expresses a desire to move past these distractions and focus on his own growth and success. He acknowledges the hardships he faces, including being hunted by 'ignorantes' (ignorant people), but also recognizes that only 'mentes brilhantes' (brilliant minds) endure such trials. This reflects a belief in the value of intelligence and wisdom in navigating life's difficulties.

'Melhor Agora' translates to 'Better Now,' which is a recurring line in the song, indicating that Ret has emerged from a difficult past ('hoje nós saiu da lama' - 'today we came out of the mud') and is now living a life he loves. The song encourages listeners to appreciate their lives and to love the life they live, suggesting a message of gratitude and self-acceptance. Ret's personal evolution is evident as he speaks of leaving behind his 'Glock' for peace, symbolizing a shift from a life of violence to one of tranquility and prosperity.
