Bela Cor (Jack, o Estripador)

Basara's song "Bela Cor (Jack, o Estripador)" is a haunting narrative that intertwines the infamous historical figure of Jack the Ripper with a fantastical battle against a divine being. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of Jack as a cunning and malevolent character, who revels in the chaos and fear he instills. The song opens with Jack addressing an audience, setting the stage for a grand spectacle, and immediately establishes the theme of performance and deception.

The lyrics delve into Jack's infamous history, referencing the late 19th-century murders in London, where five women were brutally killed. This historical context is juxtaposed with a fictional battle against a god, where Jack's cunning and malice are portrayed as his greatest weapons. The song explores themes of deception and manipulation, as Jack reveals that his true weapon is not the scissors or the bag, but his gloves, which turn anything he touches into a lethal weapon. This metaphor highlights the idea that human malice and ingenuity can surpass even divine power.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring motif of color, particularly the "bela cor" or "beautiful color," which symbolizes fear, death, and the thrill of the hunt. Jack's obsession with this color is tied to his troubled past, particularly his relationship with his mother, whose love he perceived as false. This personal history adds depth to his character, suggesting that his violent tendencies are rooted in a desire to understand and possess this "beautiful color." The song concludes with Jack's triumph over the god, using the city of London itself as a weapon, reinforcing the idea that human darkness can be both destructive and captivating.
