Death being a grave part and therefore, becomes difficult to write or sing about. The correlation of ‘death’ theme in the songs of Sidhu Moose Wala and poetries of Emily Dickenson is impeccable, despite the period gap between the two. The temporality of both the chosen artists has a long gap, but the similarities reside, as the topic of death was inconvenient during the 19th century and a matter of discomfort even in the 21st century. Sigmund Freud, explains ‘thanatos’ (death drive) in Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920), that “the aim of life is death”. It was originally proposed by Sabina Spielrein in her paper “Destruction as the cause of coming into being” (1912). Death or the topic of death is never simple as it is the most powerful drive which often develops with anger, anxiety, annihilation and destruction. The research paper intends to dig deep about ‘death’ from the hidden graveyard. It is an effort to unveil the character terrifically driving into personification in poems as gentleman, suitor, and a leveler and in songs as a comrade, enemy and a lover. The mystic appeal of death for Emily and Sidhu created a pathway to observe it more closely through their art. Thus, the paper is an attempt to explicate and to critically analyze the selected songs and poems through the beam of Freud in order to understand the perceptions of death.
