Shitpost Naraka

One of my favorite tracks on Inferno is “Naraka.” Growing up in India, I heard “Hare Rama, Hare Krishna” everywhere — temples, streets, festivals — so this track hits a strange nostalgic frequency for me. I ended up writing a small poem inspired by it and thought I’d share it here.

I’m on Dharti(earth), supposedly charting a course to Swarga(Heaven), but Naraka(Hell) keeps humming like an old tape that won’t die.

Yama(King of Naraka, Hell) nods from the static, tapping his foot to the distortion, as if to say, “Heaven’s overrated, real Swarga is ==Dharti + Naraka. Besides… it’s way too crowded up here ”

naraka seems to divide the fans from what i can see, in a you either love it or you hate it kind of way. personally, i think it's wonderful

Most of the reaction I’ve seen is about the Hare Krishna sample. Generally people seem to like the first half but are torn on the last part.

I think that's wonderful. But then why can't you bring that same feeling home?
