Pessoas Que Matam

Element Fake's song "Pessoas Que Matam" delves into the dark and haunting themes of violence and its inevitable consequences. The repetitive nature of the lyrics emphasizes the cyclical and inescapable nature of these actions. The phrase "Pessoas que matam serão levadas" (People who kill will be taken) suggests a form of cosmic or moral retribution, where those who commit acts of violence are ultimately consumed by the silence that surrounds their deeds. This silence can be interpreted as the weight of guilt, societal condemnation, or the void left by their actions.

The song also explores the internal turmoil and regret experienced by those who commit such acts. The lines "Lamentam por trás do desprezo" (They lament behind the contempt) and "Se escondem" (They hide) indicate that beneath their outward disdain, there is a deep sense of remorse and a desire to escape from the consequences of their actions. This duality of outward bravado and inner regret paints a complex picture of the perpetrators, suggesting that they are not entirely devoid of humanity.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics shift to a more introspective and philosophical tone. The imagery of innocence dying and souls being sealed in the abyss highlights the irreversible damage caused by violence. The mention of a dream and the question "Por quê?" (Why?) reflect a sense of confusion and disillusionment with the world. The song ultimately portrays a bleak and unforgiving reality where actions have lasting repercussions, and the perpetrators are left with nothing but the emptiness of their own making.
