A Noiva Cadáver
The Melancholic Tale of the Corpse Bride
The song "Do Funeral Não Irá Escapar" by A Noiva Cadáver tells a haunting and melancholic story of love, betrayal, and inevitable death. The lyrics invite the audience, both living and dead, to listen to the tragic tale of a bride who met a cruel fate. The narrative begins with a warning that death is inescapable, setting a somber tone for the story that unfolds.
The protagonist, a beautiful young woman, falls in love with a charming but penniless man, against her father's wishes. Despite her father's disapproval, the couple plans to elope, believing that love is all they need. However, they also decide to take some valuable jewelry as a precaution. The night of their planned escape, the bride waits for her lover in a cemetery, only to be met with betrayal. Instead of her beloved, she encounters darkness and death, realizing too late that she has been deceived and robbed.
In the afterlife, the bride vows to wait for true love to free her from her sorrow. Her story concludes when a distinguished man joins her, bringing an end to her tale of woe. The recurring chorus reinforces the theme that death is inevitable, no matter how one tries to avoid it. The song's narrative, filled with gothic imagery and a sense of tragic romance, reflects the band's style, which often delves into dark and fantastical themes.
