Metal Meltdown

Judas Priest

Something's calling in the night
Electric madness
Roars in sight

Heat is rising blazing fast
Hot and evil
Feel the blast

Out of control about to explode
It's coming at ya

Here comes the metal meltdown
Run for your lives
Can't stop the metal meltdown
No one survives

Raging fury
Wired for sound
Nitro bombshell
Shakes the ground

High and mighty
Rips the air
Piercing lazer
Burning glare

Out of control
About to explode
It's coming at ya

Here comes the metal meltdown
Run for your lives
Can't stop the metal meltdown
No one survives

Temperature is boiling
Magnifying might
Feeding like a virus
Flashing light

Imminent collision
Shockwaves all around
Generating energy
Screams so loud
Yeah

It's comin'
Meltdown
Start runnin'
Countdown

Here comes the metal meltdown
Run for your lives
Can't stop the metal meltdown
No one survives (oh, yeah)

Metal meltdown, metal meltdown
Metal meltdown, metal meltdown
Metal meltdown, metal meltdown
Metal meltdown, metal meltdown

    This song is so awesome. My number one favorite song of their's. It has to be a big hit. It has all the best and fast riffs and it is just an explosive song. They sound something Iron Maiden.

    THREE COMMENTS!? Omigosh, this song HAS to have THE best guitar ever. I love the intro! Too bad they cut it out in some of the live versions. :P I love it soooo much! No one really cares what it's about; it's just AWESOME !

    WHAT THE HELL! THE INTRO TO THIS IS MADLY INSANE AND THERE'S ONLY FOUR COMMENTS?! Rob Halford is graced with a voice that every metal singer dreams of. And the pure insanity that is called guitar solos throughout the songs make my fingers hurt just thinking about it. JUDAS PRIEST ALL THE WAY! (My life long ambition is to play the intro on the guitar some day....)

    The intro soloing has always reminded me of sparks flying off.

Blank Space
Taylor Swift
This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her. "I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this. "You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially. With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media. It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame. I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships. It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
