“The Old Therebefore/Singing at Snakes” is sung by Lucy Gray Baird at the end of the 10th annual Hunger Games in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Using “hereafter” as a metaphor for the afterlife and “therebefore” as a metaphor for life, Lucy Gray sings to the fallen tributes, sending them off to heaven, and refuses to go yet herself. In this song, she sings to snakes as they wrap around her, possibly believing that the singing prevented them from harming her, and in her lyrics, refuses to die.
