A Melancolia e o Isolamento em Something In The Way do Nirvana
A canção 'Something In The Way', da banda Nirvana, é uma das faixas mais sombrias e introspectivas do álbum 'Nevermind', lançado em 1991. A letra, escrita pelo vocalista Kurt Cobain, reflete um período de sua vida em que ele enfrentou dificuldades, incluindo a falta de um lar estável. A música é marcada por uma melodia lenta e melancólica, que acompanha a voz arrastada de Cobain, transmitindo uma sensação de desolação e resignação.
A letra descreve uma cena sob uma ponte, onde o narrador encontrou refúgio. A referência ao 'tarp' (lona) que 'sprung a leak' (está vazando) e aos animais que se tornaram seus 'pets' (animais de estimação) sugere uma situação de abandono e adaptação a uma realidade dura e precária. A menção de viver de 'grass' (grama) e das 'drippings from my ceiling' (gotejamentos do meu teto) reforça a imagem de miséria e sobrevivência. A linha 'It's okay to eat fish 'Cause they don't have any feelings' (É ok comer peixes porque eles não têm sentimentos) pode ser interpretada como uma justificativa irônica para a indiferença do mundo em relação ao sofrimento alheio, ou talvez uma tentativa de encontrar algum conforto moral em meio à adversidade.
O refrão 'Something in the way' (Algo no caminho) é repetido várias vezes, criando um mantra que evoca a sensação de um obstáculo intransponível, uma barreira emocional ou física que impede o avanço. A música não oferece uma resolução, permanecendo em um estado de suspensão e incerteza. A simplicidade da composição e a repetição das frases contribuem para a atmosfera de introspecção e desesperança. 'Something In The Way' é um retrato cru da experiência humana em seus momentos mais vulneráveis, e permanece como um dos momentos mais impactantes do legado do Nirvana.
Underneath the bridge
Embaixo da ponte
Tarp has sprung a leak
A lona está com um vazamento
And the animals I've trapped
E os animais que capturei
Have all become my pets
Todos se tornaram meus pets
And I'm living off of grass
E estou vivendo de grama
And the drippings from the ceiling
e da goteira do teto
It's okay to eat fish
Mas tudo bem comer peixe,

Porque eles não têm sentimentos

[Перевод песни Nirvana — «Something in the Way»]
[Куплет]
Под мостом ткань из брезента дала течь
И животные, которых я поймал, все они стали моими питомцами
Я выживаю питаясь лишь травой и каплями с потолка
Есть рыбу — это нормально, ведь у них нет никаких чувств
[Припев]
Что-то на пути, м-м-м
Что-то на пути, да, м-м-м
Что-то на пути, м-м-м
Что-то на пути, да, м-м-м
Что-то на пути, м-м-м
Что-то на пути, да, м-м-м
