Charlie's Inferno is a modern-day reference to Dante's Inferno.
Long story short, Dante's inferno is about a man who must travel through all of the stages of hell to finally reach heaven. Dante creates an imaginative correspondence between a soul’s sin on Earth and the punishment he or she receives in Hell.
It's great how THD's lyrics depict the irony of each stage, just like in the book.
Fat people cooked alive with apples in their mouths.
"Attention whores and padded bras hanging from extension cords
Tortured with the products from their favorite catalogs."
The reason Charlie is sent to hell in this song is a bit ironic:
Charlie is selfish.
Yes, he is a kind and loving person who gives a lot, but in the end, it was only for himself to get into heaven.
If a man lives a life with no aspirations -aside from living a pure life, then he will burn in hell.
I love the way THD writes their songs.
Charlies Inferno, Party Mom and Invisible Dad, and Junkies in Love all have sad song lyrics, but the lyrics are placed on top of a happy major key. It's great.
@Jam Boyz Actually, I think it's because he is greedy. When gas prices go up, he rides his bike, and he uses eco-friendly lightbulbs. He values money too much, and if you add that to what you said somehow, maybe.

In reality, he doesn't get described as doing anything good, and his voice is haughty and above everyone around him. He belongs in Hell, and he knows it.

@Jam Boyz Also, he fishes on the weekends and he judges people without pretense, which is wrong, even if the judgement is based on facts.
