The well-known lullaby "Rock-a-bye Baby" is often interpreted as a death chant due to its dark imagery and themes. The lyrics describe a baby in a treetop that falls when the wind blows, suggesting a fatal outcome. This juxtaposition of a soothing melody with a grim narrative raises questions about vulnerability and the fragility of life. The lullaby reflects historical contexts where such themes were more prevalent, highlighting the complex relationship between innocence and mortality.
