“Maluco Beleza” is one of Raul Seixas’ most famous songs and appears on the album O Dia em que a Terra Parou”, released in 1977. The song is written by Raulzito and his partner Cláudio Roberto.
The song talks about a kind of controlled madness, which is not typical of a person with neurological disorders who needs special care. Here madness is that which is not harmful but contagious. In a video on his channel, Júlio Ettore tells more.

“This concept of controlled madness that Raul proposes in the lyrics is a type of controlled madness between the logical and rational world with the more abstract one, as in psychedelic experiences. Cláudio was known as ‘Maluco Beleza’, but it has nothing to do with with drugs. It’s about being sure of your madness. It’s a madness that is not harmful, but contagious.”
In the chorus, when Raul Seixas sings that beauty is going to go crazy and that he is controlling his lucidity mixed with “crazyness” he means that the state of said “crazy beauty” is precisely in that middle ground between the rational and abstract world. It’s trying to get the best out of each person to live your life.

Recanto das Letras makes a similar analysis: “Let us note that madness and lucidity are equivalent and alternate as the song says. And the transition between lucidity and madness disguises itself as madness (neither normal nor crazy) the condition that intends to be the bridge between the two worlds (outer and inner) the objective and subjective lived by the same subject, which sets the tone for the learner’s schizophrenia of living in two worlds at the same time”.
Finally, Letras.mus says that the chorus also talks about the desire not to fit into standards imposed by society at the time.

“The lyrics of ‘Maluco Beleza’ talk about the conscious decision not to follow the standard path imposed by society. The ‘lyrical self’ of the song presents itself as someone who learned to be ‘crazy’, a metaphor for freedom of thought and action, in contrast to the ‘normal guy’ who strives to make everything the same. The ‘crazy’ mentioned in the song is, therefore, a form of resistance and authenticity, where the singer is proud of his uniqueness and the ability to control his own. own life, mixing sanity and madness in a balanced way.
