Summary/Abstract: This paper seeks to answer the question of how individuals create themselves through metaphorical narratives (here one particular metaphor, the inferno). First, I briefly review the general, cultural and terrestrial features of the inferno. In a second step, I outline the relevant metaphor theories, mainly belonging to the domain of analytic philosophy. In the second half of the paper, I analyse the track Út a pokolba by the artist Siska Finuccsi, using the metaphor theses reviewed earlier. I conclude that the metaphorical narrative of self and world creates the possibility for the individual to view him/herself in a unique, authentic and nuanced way.
