Lyrics for Master of Puppets as interpreted by elmoz

Master of Puppets Lyrics
End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Feeding on your death's construction
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster (faster)
Obey your master (master)
Your life burns faster (faster)
Obey your master (master)
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

Needlework the way, never you betray
life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
chop your breakfast on a mirror
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster (faster)
Obey your master (master)
Your life burns faster (faster)
Obey your master (master)
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

Master, master, where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, master, you promised only lies
Laughter, laughter, all I hear and see is laughter
Laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries

FACE ME!!!

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 through you
Now I'll rule you, too

Come crawling faster (faster)
Obey your master (master)
Your life burns faster (faster)
Obey your master (master)
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

Ha- Ha- Ha- Ha- Ha- Ha- Ha- Ha

ok - out of 79 posts im the only one that's suggesting this, which probably says somehting but hey, whatever:

for me personally this song screams anorexia. But hey thats my opinion and no doubt i'm gnna be picked apart for it!

but yeah, before you all kill me i can see the drug thing so i'm not saying it's wrong.

i also like the religion idea - seems also a bit like it's about the idea that it might be about communism, and i can see lines to support both those interpretations. And whoever called the guy that suggested it a bonehead for saying they USED to think it was about religion can go screw a dog for being so fucking narrowminded.

To me, although its been drilled into me that it;s about drugs, which i can accept, the song is still about anorexia.

fucking great song though whatever its about

This is a good song song but it is overrated. It isn't metallicas best song and to many people play it. It's the next Stairway to Heaven

Well, according to the movie Some Kind Of Monster, I think both Lars and Kirk specifically stated that Master of Puppets was written about people with controlling personalities.

This song totally rocks. I always thought is was about religion because of stuff like "ritual misery". I'm not really sure though.

hey nirvananerd, poor point, have none of you seen the metallica icon doco. James himself explains how the song was about his alcoholism, and how he was stuck in a snowed in russian hut for 7 days writing it, whilst consuming crazy amounts of vodka.

MoP is about drugs, that\'s quit obvious, though you could give it other meanings for yourself but it was written about drugs. I think the cover of the album MoP is referring to the song Disposeble Heroes which is much more about that.

I think instead of drugs its about a struggle with god, and the helpless feeling you have and how you cant really help whats going around you, and how god is supposed to be there for you if you follow him, but instead you get nothing...

So I get nothing from my God huh? Hmmmm. Well it seems like someone doesn't understand the concept. Too many of you asses think God is something we should be able to pray to and obtain immediate satisfaction, kind of like a wish-machine. Well little do you know that He gave us the greatest gift of all time in free will which allows little cocks like yourselves to run around and defy the life which you could lead if you would only just believe. You don't have to go to church every Sunday, you don't have to go to school and get good grades, you even have to follow the law if you choose not to but know this. God is always with you. No matter how big of a jackass you are to Him.

even the band itself doesn't know what it's about -- in SKOM, ulrich joked that when hetfield wrote it he was looking ahead to the future about whatsisname -- the psychaiatrist guy
