O Caminho da Escada e da Corda
Matanza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoje ao meio dia pra sua alegria
Não me deram nada, nem mesmo um cigarro
Me jogaram pedra, mas passou de lado
Veio muita gente pra me ver morrendo
Bem na minha frente, pára o reverendo
Oportunidade que eu diria rara
Todos ao diabo, antes que eu me esqueça
Corda no pescoço, preço na cabeça
E não importa o que aconteça
Eu volto do inferno pra pegar todos vocês
Não sinto remorso, muito menos medo
Não contei os mortos, não guardei segredo
Não existe nada em que eu acredite
A minha verdade era a dinamite
Mesmo procurado por assassinato
Fui comer a puta, fui capturado
Eis me aqui agora, com o destino à frente
E uma bola de ferro presa na corrente
The lyrics in Matanza's song "O Caminho da Escada e da Corda" speak of a man who has been sentenced to hang. He begins by stating that he was condemned to be hung, and that it will happen today at noon. The man explains that he did not receive anything from his executioners, not even a cigarette, and that they threw stones at him, but he was unscathed. Many people have come to witness his execution, including a reverend who stands right in front of him. The man takes this opportunity to call out the reverend's name and spit in his face. He then declares that everyone in the crowd can go to hell before making a bold statement that he will come back from hell to get them all.
In the second verse, the man reveals that he feels no remorse or fear for what he has done. He has killed people, but he hasn't counted how many nor kept it a secret. He reveals that he has nothing to believe in as his "truth" was always the "dynamite" which could be interpreted as his violent tendencies. The final few lines of the song describe how he ended up being caught, explaining that he was wanted for murder but was caught in the act of having sex with a prostitute. He's now facing his destiny with a ball of iron on his chain.
Overall, the song's lyrics tell the story of an unrepentant man who is willing to stand up to the world, and specifically to those who are supposed to be on the righteous path. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is defiant even in the face of death.
