O Exorcista da Família
MC V.V
The Relentless Demon Slayer: A Tale of Unconventional Exorcism
MC V.V's song "O Exorcista da Família" is a darkly humorous and gritty narrative that blends elements of horror, action, and street culture. The protagonist, who has a violent past involving his mother-in-law, finds himself in a new role as a demon slayer. The song opens with the protagonist recounting his move to another country after a violent altercation with his mother-in-law, who is referred to as the 'Imperatriz Demônio' (Demon Empress). This sets the stage for his new life as an exorcist, approached by Father Antônio to deal with a monstrous entity.
The lyrics vividly describe the protagonist's encounter with a possessed child in Alabama. The child exhibits classic signs of demonic possession, such as red eyes and vomiting, but the protagonist's approach is far from traditional. Instead of relying on religious rites, he uses a gun loaded with silver bullets and other unconventional methods like garlic and fire. This portrayal of exorcism is both brutal and irreverent, emphasizing the protagonist's no-nonsense, anti-hero persona.
Throughout the song, MC V.V employs a mix of horror imagery and street slang, creating a unique and edgy atmosphere. The protagonist's disdain for demons is evident as he describes his methods of dealing with them, including shooting, burning, and physically assaulting them. The repeated refrain about silver bullets, garlic, and 'sete pele' (a Brazilian term for a particularly tough person) underscores his relentless and ruthless approach. The song concludes with the protagonist declaring himself the 'Van Helsing do Bom Retiro,' a reference to the famous vampire hunter, but with a local twist, highlighting his role as a modern, urban demon slayer.
