I am a metal musician.
Specific genres do not leave people much to write about. Singing about the devil isn't anything new. It's just poetry to music. Poetry comes in all
"genres" too.
I, personally, write about the decay of society, in a metaphorical way.
There is a lot of inspiration in writing about a fictitious entity that represents all the bad that PEOPLE have done and caused.
Hope, forgiveness, anger, sadness, and decay are all popular things to write about. They are intense feelings, that are best dealt with, by the
musician expressing himself through a medium. As a painter, or sculptor. Music conveys our deepest feelings.
It isn't homage to the darkside. It's just a song. Most times people don't get the actual message anyways. Here are some lyrics to my song Please
Forgive My Sins: All it means is, according to a book that has lead to wars and mass deaths, I am a sinner. The horror and nightmares aren't just
mine. They're shared by all society. Isn't asking for forgiveness an absolute absolution? haha.
Lyrics:
I wake up screaming
"Help Me!"
I find my bloodied sheets
Lay down and hear my heartbeat
My shattered Soul will weep
My mind erases
Time and
Hope will forget the past
I've stayed the simple life when
I've sampled the greener grass
You told me everything would be ok
You tole me everything would go away
Chorus:
Please forgive my sins
Please forgive my ways
Please forgive everything that I've said
Please forgive my sins
I held my hands up to you
I begged my wrongs be right
You didn't say a single thing now
I'll live my life in spite
No matter what the cost is
My soul is not for sale
I'll reap my own rewards now
My chances have gone stale
You told me everything would be ok
You tole me everything would go away
Chorus:
Please forgive my sins
Please forgive my ways
Please forgive everything that I've said
Please forgive my sins
I called upon my anger
I needed help through this ride
I'll break a thousand rules and
This man you will not find
Break down the doors to my sin
I will not stand as one
Masses gather around my side
There is no where to run
You told me everything would be ok
You tole me everything would go away
Chorus:
Please forgive my sins
Please forgive my ways
Please forgive everything that I've said
Please forgive my sins
Please forgive my sins
Please forgive my ways
Please forgive everything that I've said
Please forgive my sins
