You can't kill the metal
The metal will live on
Punk rock tried to kill the metal
But they failed, as they were smite to the ground
New wave tried to kill the metal
But they failed as they were stricken down to the ground
Grunge tried to kill the metal
They failed, as they were thrown to the ground
Ah, yeah
Ah, yeah
No one can destroy the metal
The metal will strike you down with a vicious blow
We are the vanquished foes of the metal
We tried to win, for why? We do not know
New wave tried to destroy the metal
But the metal had its way
Grunge then tried to dethrone the metal
But metal was in the way
Punk rock tried to destroy the metal
But metal was much too strong
Techno tried to defile the metal
But techno was proven wrong
Yeah
Metal
It comes from hell
The metal will live on
Punk rock tried to kill the metal
But they failed, as they were smite to the ground
New wave tried to kill the metal
But they failed as they were stricken down to the ground
Grunge tried to kill the metal
They failed, as they were thrown to the ground
Ah, yeah
Ah, yeah
No one can destroy the metal
The metal will strike you down with a vicious blow
We are the vanquished foes of the metal
We tried to win, for why? We do not know
New wave tried to destroy the metal
But the metal had its way
Grunge then tried to dethrone the metal
But metal was in the way
Punk rock tried to destroy the metal
But metal was much too strong
Techno tried to defile the metal
But techno was proven wrong
Yeah
Metal
It comes from hell

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Blue

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
"hm, didnt grunge actually kill metal? y'know... nirvana? i thought they killed hair metal."
Hair metal is a farce. I'm glad it's dead. He's talking about REAL heavy metal. Pantera and others didn't die when Nirvana came along because they were great metal bands, not flashy bullshit hair metal. And while grunge is now dead, metal still lives on.
I love how cheesy this song is and how it's backed by a classic heavy metal guitar riff. And its lyrics are very true. Metal has its down periods but always maintains a steady flow of underground fans to keep it alive. Long live metal!
Metal... it comes from HELL! oh yes!
Metal rules all
I loved the SNL version of this song better. They had people dressed as the genres. LOL. The "Metal" was a giant metal warrior who beat the shit out of everyone on stage. "SLOW MO!"<p><b><i>Edited by evanreyes on October 31 2007, at 03:12AM</i></b></p>

This song is so true, but I never really realized that metal was the best until I heard this song

HAHAHAHA PUNK ROCK BETTER THAN FACE MELTINGFUCKING METAL?!?!?! Wow dude. That's some sad shit. This song is completely true. Since it's first true dawning with Led Zeppelin (The Beatles were the first with their song "Helter Skelter, but it didn't get as much credit as the Zep), metal has destroyed everything that has walked in it's path. And to say that the three worst genres of music (I would take rap over punk rock any day) is a disgrace to the metal. Long live metal, and long live the D!
