Funeral Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No meu funeral
Seja útil e traga aquela sua cerveja artesanal
Não molhe com suas lágrimas o meu caixão
Fortaleça com uma caixa de latão

Eu quero ver vocês tocando o puteiro
Ganha a aposta quem pegar o coveiro
Não vai ter padre, nem pastor
Vai ter pinga e Cointreau
Não vai ter reza, nem louvação ao Senhor

Porque eu vou
Eu vou pro inferno, eu vou
Eu vou, eu vou
Eu vou pro inferno, eu vou
Parara-timbum

No meu funeral
Por favor venham todos de bermuda ou camisa floral
Vai tocar Valesca e Ratos de Porão
Pra bater cabeça e rebolar até o chão

Vamo' acordar o cemitério inteiro
Juntar os headbangers e os Chicleteiro
No tobofogo do catiço vou pra nunca voltar mais
Tem show de rock, cerveja e Satanás

Porque eu vou
Eu vou pro inferno, eu vou
Eu vou, eu vou
Eu vou pro inferno, eu vou
Parara-timbum

Eu vejo um cara pendurado no caixão
Quem 'tiver breaco esguelhando esse refrão
Até penetra vai perder as estribeiras
Que não vão entender nada
Mas vão curtir a zoeira

Porque eu vou
Eu vou pro inferno, eu vou
Eu vou, eu vou
Eu vou pro inferno, eu vou
Eu vou, eu vou
Eu vou, uh-uh
Pro inferno, eu vou




Eu vou
Parara-timbum

Overall Meaning

The song "Funeral" by Brazilian rock band Funeral is a satirical take on the idea of death and funerals. The lyrics suggest that the singer wants a party atmosphere at his funeral, with guests bringing their own craft beers and avoiding tears in favor of celebrating his life with alcohol and dancing. The singer wants to hear music that is unconventional for a funeral, such as from Valesca and Ratos de Porão, and encourages guests to mosh and headbang. The idea of going to hell is also woven into the lyrics, with the singer claiming that's where he's headed.


It's a playful and irreverent look at an event that is typically somber and emotional. The song seems to be inspired by the idea of a New Orleans-style jazz funeral, where the procession is led with music, dance, and celebration to honor the life of the deceased. Instead of a sad and mournful event, it's turned into a fun party atmosphere where life is celebrated rather than mourned.


Overall, the lyrics of "Funeral" are meant to be humorous, but they also invite a reflection on how we deal with death and grieving. It suggests that we should celebrate the lives of our loved ones rather than simply mourn their passing. The song's playful and satirical tone suggests that even in the face of death, there is still joy to be found.

Birth month is April. Will be 18 😊


That's my birth month
It used to be something sweet and reminiscent you know?
But just like this song, it grips me like it's only memories we can hold now.
Birthday lost its glow.
My once closest cousins, their eyes used be in touch with mine when they were little, but now it's directed to their phones and social media.
Waking up in April was a thrill for adventures, outdoor games, communication.

Times used to fly, now it's trying times.
At least I can rummage on the family shelf to look at the old photo albums of the last birthday that held real meaning before 2014. Good times.. I'll never forget...
I hope they still think of me, or maybe one day we can all sit and talk liked we used to.

I’ve never told this.
As my mom went in and out of the hospital in her final 9 months, I was by her side. I had my phone and pandora, and when she was asleep or medicated, I’d just listen to a pandora station that I’d started. I curated it for the first few months, and then I stopped adding new artists to it and the playlist stayed the same. I got my favorite songs around twice a day. I had a lot a channels with different types of music, but this one channel on pandora was for introspective hard rock, and once it was set I never messed with it again.
As mom came closer to the last time in the hospital, I began to almost know which song was coming before it played. Because I knew that she was dying, and because the name of this song, it became a sentimental favorite, but that’s it. A good song for sadness, but nothing more.
Then, mom went back into hospital for what would be the last time.
Starting the night she arrived, as I set up the little couch in her room where I would sleep, this song played. Then an hour later, it played again. When I woke up, it was the first song pandora played.
It played 6 times that day and she died that night…and I knew it was a sign every time I heard it.
I don’t know how the the algorithm of a music streaming app could know that my mother was going to die that night, but this song had never played more than once a day, until the day she died.
I only listen now when I’m alone because the tears won’t stop.
This song is the auditory representation of my mother’s death. And I’ll never hear it differently.
I hope you are as loved as I was.

I really love this song. For different reasons:
A good friend lost her husband after he was fighting bravely against cancer for many years. He died at a young age, and left behind a pregnant wife. This sound was played at his funeral. I will always connect this song with my friend and with everything (mostly horrible) connected to her. I love you and admire you so much U.


And I also connect it to other wonderful people who have left us.
My dad, who died in September 2018. There is not a day where I dont miss him. He was and still is so important to me and its so hard to manage that he is not longer here. I am mostly doing fine, but there are some days where I just cry and wish to be dead because the pain is so bad.


S. , the partner of my best friend. He died much too early, and leaves behind 3 kids, and many people who miss him very much. And my best friend is so horribly hurting, and that is also hurting myself.
