Master of Puppets-----Metallica

     All these blogs will have a few key components..... Lyrical/official vids (if one can't be found, no biggie), a band photo, lyrics, and my thoughts on the lyrics and the feel of the song. Enjoy! :D

.......I couldn't find the official video, but like I said, no biggie. :D now, enjoy the band photo. :D

Lyrics are as follow:

End of passion play,
Crumbling away,
I'm the source of your self-destruction.

Veins pump with fear,
Sucking darkness clear,
Leading on your death's constructions.
Taste me and you will see,
More is all you need
Dedicated to,
How I'm killing you.

Come crawling faster,
Obey your master,
Your life burns faster,
Obey your master,
Master.

Master of puppets,
I'm pulling your strings,
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams.

Blinded by me,
You can't see a thing,
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream.

Master,
Master.

Just call my name cause I'll hear you scream,
Master,
Master.

Needle work the way,
Never you betray,
Life and death becoming clearer.

Pain monopoly,
Ritual misery,
Chop your breakfast on a mirror.

Taste me and you'll see,
More is all you need,
Dedicated to,
How I'm killing you.

Come crawling faster,
Obey your master,
Your life burns faster,
Obey your master,
Master.

Master of puppets,
I'm pulling your strings,
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams.

Blinded by me,
You can't see a thing,
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream.

Master,
Master.

Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream,
Master,
Master, master, master, master.....

(bridge)

(First solo- James)

Master, master,
Promised only lies.

Laughter, laughter,
All I hear or see is laughter.

Laughter, laughter,
Laughing at my cries.

FIX ME!!!!!!!!!!!

(Second solo-Kirk)

Hell is worth all that,
Natural Habitat,
Just a rhyme without a reason.

Never ending maze,
Drift on numbered days,
Now your life is out of season.

I will occupy,
I will help you die,
I will run you through,
Now I rule you too.

Come crawling faster,
Obey your master,
Your life burns faster,
Obey your master.

Master.

Master of puppets,
I'm pulling your strings,
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams.

Blinded by me,
You can't see a thing,
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream.

Master,
Master.

Just call my name cause I'll hear you scream,
Master,
master.

(outro, random laughter to fade)


Feelings:

      Honestly, this song is something that nobody wants to talk about which in my mind, I wouldn't blame them to be honest. Things depicted in the song like the first verse that goes:


End of passion play,
Crumbling away,
I'm the source of your self-destruction.

Veins pump with fear,
Sucking darkness clear,
Leading on your death's constructions.
Taste me and you will see,
More is all you need
Dedicated to,
How I'm killing you.

Come crawling faster,
Obey your master,
Your life burns faster,
Obey your master,
Master. Shows what I was thinking about with the "death" and "self destruction. In my mind, this song is basically saying "You have no choice but TO obey me because I have the ability to control what happens to you all together. But some enjoy doing this to others and those that get it in my mind enjoy having it done to them. But those that know what those that do that are up to, they won't have that happen to them. They're strong enough to prevent that but, everyone has their own breaking point. I know I do because there are some cases when I was the puppet and the user was the master puppeteer. Now that I learned what they are up to, I'm not going to let that happen to me again. Most won't learn, but others eventually will learn the error of their ways. But, human nature is what it is. Nobody can create a perfect human, if we could, we wouldn't have all the hell and war that we have.



          I will make a few pages with essays on every aspect of this song and many others if I can in the future. I hope you enjoyed this analyses.
