Theres just something about the anger in metal that feels right, I'm not sure why. Possibly its because you're accepting that side of yourself instead of trying to pretend its not there and the whole world is lovely and fluffy.
besides, most metal lyrics tend to be random strings of cool sounding phrases which completely fail to make any sense (I'm looking at you metallica :-p), let alone enough to encourage you to do anything specificly bad ;-) |
I think you need to hear some good metal. Metallica is the crap floating at the top of the barrel. A lot of metal tells stories about myth, fantasy, religion etc...
Lost Horizon - Lost in the Depths of Me
"But the world still is drowned in ecstasy
Of the fate and the myth of gods
But I doubt there's a journey planned for me
As I own every moment of my life
And the blessed they shall call it blasphemy
But I know what I think is right
Still the sun and the stars will shine for me
For the pure I will fight
For no king I will die
For my thoughts I will live"
