Jason, you're too fucking metal man
Too metal for your own good
You guys want some more don't ya
we're just getting warmed up now man
how about some more old shit from kill em all eh
you don't mind if we speed it up some huh?
So, we need to see some action out there if you fucking don't know by now
makes us feel real fucking good
so, uh, get your dancing shoes on.
you know the words follow me motherfucker

Adrenaline starts to flow
thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
(Whiplash)

hey man, I need to see some action out there
come on you pussies!
yeah, you guessed it, it's whiplash
one two four three two and a half

Late at night all systems go
come to see the show
We do our best, you're the rest
You make it real you know
There is a feeling deep inside
That drives you fuckin' mad
A feeling of a hammerhead
You need it oh so bad

Adrenaline starts to flow
thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
(Whiplash) yeah whiplash

Bang your head against the stage
Like you never did before
Make it ring, make it bleed
Make it fucking sore
In a frenzied madness
With your leather and your spikes
Heads are bobbing all around
It is hot as hell tonight

Adrenaline starts to flow
thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
what is it? (Whiplash )
it's fucking whiplash

Here on the stage the Marshall noise
Is piercing through your ears
It kicks your ass kick your face
Exploding feeling nears
Now is the time to let it rip
To let it fuckin' loose
We are gathered here to maim and kill
'Cause this is what we choose

Adrenaline starts to flow
thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
(Whiplash) yeah, give it to me one time

hey hey hey (hey hey hey hey) yeah, here we go

yeah whiplash. get it and fuck em up

The show is through the metal is gone
It is time to hit the road
Another town, another gig
Again we will explode
Hotel rooms and motorways
Life out here is raw
But we will never stop we will never quit

'Cause you're Metallica

Adrenaline starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac

hey hey (hey hey hey hey hey)
yeah

thank you Mexico city, we'll see you around
good night from Metallica
thank you!

    Don't u love a sec. and a half of pulling teeth starting this track? I don't poor editing. The song itself 10/10. It's about streetfighting. The fights r suposed to be clean, but some fuckers use spikes and fire as weapons, resulting in whiplash and it being "hot as hell." And to the dumbazz above, emo is a sub genre of punk, a faggot is a bundle of sticks, and Sandman is a great song. Metal (rusty n' sharp) up ur azz bitch!

    lmfao, I'm such a jackass...

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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
Radiohead
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
