Lake of Fire
Curtis Kirkwood
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go down to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see 'em again till the fourth of July
I knew a lady who came from Duluth
She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
She went to her grave just a little too soon
Flew away howling on the yellow moon
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go down to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see 'em again till the fourth of July
The people cry and the people moan
Look for a dry place to call their home
Try to find some place to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils try to make their own
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go down to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see 'em again till the fourth of July
A Reflexão Sombria de Nirvana em Lake Of Fire
A música 'Lake Of Fire', interpretada pela banda Nirvana, é uma obra que explora temas existenciais e metafísicos, questionando o destino das almas após a morte. A letra, originalmente composta pela banda Meat Puppets, ganhou notoriedade na voz de Kurt Cobain durante o icônico MTV Unplugged in New York, gravado em 1993. A canção se destaca por sua abordagem crua e direta sobre o julgamento moral pós-morte e a ideia de um inferno representado pelo 'lago de fogo'.
A repetição do refrão 'Where do bad folks go when they die?' sugere uma reflexão sobre a moralidade e as consequências eternas dos atos cometidos em vida. A menção ao 'lago de fogo' onde as pessoas 'fritam' evoca imagens do inferno, um tema comum em muitas religiões que pregam a dualidade entre o céu e o inferno como destinos finais das almas. A música não oferece consolo ou redenção, mas sim uma visão sombria e inevitável do julgamento.
A narrativa da música também inclui uma história sobre uma mulher de Duluth, que morre prematuramente após ser mordida por um cachorro com raiva. Essa passagem pode ser interpretada como uma metáfora para a aleatoriedade e a injustiça da morte, que pode chegar inesperadamente e alterar o destino de uma pessoa. A canção termina com uma visão quase apocalíptica, onde 'anjos e demônios' lutam pelas almas, sugerindo uma batalha eterna entre o bem e o mal. A referência ao 'Fourth of July', Dia da Independência dos Estados Unidos, pode ser vista como uma ironia, contrastando a celebração da liberdade com a ideia de um destino pós-morte predeterminado e sem escape.
Where do bad folks go when they die?
Pra onde é que as pessoas malvadas vão depois que morrem
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
Eles não vão para o céu onde os anjos voam
They go down to the lake of fire and fry
Eles vão para o lago de fogo e fritam lá
Won't see 'em again till the fourth of July
Você não vai ver eles novamente até o 4 de Julho
