Pitch
'Burning pitch,' as in Isaiah 34:9, signifies direful fantasies. In Genesis 14:10, this denotes lusts.

Arcana Coelestia # 1688
1688. That 'the valley of Siddim was pits after pits - or was full of pits - of bitumen' means the uncleanness of falsities and evil desires is clear from the meaning of 'Siddim' as uncleanness, dealt with above at verse 3, and also from the meaning of 'pits' as falsities, and of 'bitumen' as evil desires. Falsities are called 'pits' on account of the filthy water these contain, and evil desires are called 'bitumen' on account of the foul sulphurous stench of such water.
