O Inferno São os Outros
Detonautas Roque Clube Lyrics

The song "O Inferno São os Outros" by Detonautas Roque Clube explores the idea that sometimes our relationships, even the most intimate ones, are ultimately oppressive and destructive. The opening lyrics that ask what good someone's beauty or ideology would do if the singer closed their eyes or if their own freedom became oppressive suggest that sometimes, we delude ourselves into accepting or even idolizing relationships that are ultimately harmful. The line "Escute o meu silêncio" ("Listen to my silence") is particularly insightful because it highlights the fact that sometimes, the loudest and most harmful relationships are the ones where people don't even feel heard.

The rest of the song is about the singer's realization that someone they loved didn't truly care, and their decision to move on despite the pain. The repetition of the line "Vou sair pra ver o sol / Vou mentir e dizer que eu não sou feliz" ("I'm going out to see the sun / I'll lie and say I'm not happy") suggests that the singer is trying to convince themselves that they're better off alone, even though they're hurting. The final line, "Você não quis escutar / E o tempo não parou" ("You didn't want to listen / And time didn't stop"), drives home the fact that relationships can be hurtful and damaging, and that it's important to move on and find happiness elsewhere.

Overall, "O Inferno São os Outros" is a poignant exploration of the struggles of relationships and how they can ultimately be harmful to our well-being.
