  • @keefenewton4483
    @keefenewton4483 5 лет назад +297

    The pace of the song is to illustrate the cycle of addiction. The first part is the need and the control it has on the person. Fast and persistent . The middle melodic section illustrates the mood after a fix. Much more calm, relaxed and beautiful . Then it returns back into the demanding need and control the addiction requires. Until it controls and ultimately kills you. The way the music illustrates the cycle is actually quite brilliant. Just my interpretation.

      From a musical standpoint having a slow part in the music makes the fast parts feel faster. And gives the listener a bit of rest. An entire album going full speed for 90 minutes would get incredibly boring to listen too.

  • @Blackheartrises
    @Blackheartrises 4 года назад +567

    you, hit the nail on the head. the smooth breakdown was when the person hit the drug, but eventually, the sound got faster and more aggressive , because now they want the next hit, the lay back gets shorter and shorter, the master gets more demanding.

    • @ralphshepherd6009
      @ralphshepherd6009 4 года назад +19

      Yeah, I feel it that way too. As someone who spent 14 years injecting meth, that smooth part of the song definitely feels like that high the moment you do an issue and then it starts getting harder and more abrasive as you would be going into those next phases of it. 4 years clean for me but I can definitely make that connection.

    The slower part of the song is supposed to be a reference to the puppet giving into it's master (the drugs). That is why it is slower and more euphoric compared to the rest of the song, and then slowly wears off and builds back up and the first verse to follow it is the puppet accusing the drugs for ruining his life doing nothing but lying and ruining his life. The heavier parts of the song, to me at least, are a reference to being sober and feeling the urge to give into the drugs. It's brilliant and at the same time extremely sad.

    • @kabiskzor
      @kabiskzor 6 лет назад

      Deep and interesting way to look at.. I think its just going low so they can build it up again just for the riff.. Most bands just riff and then write lyrics on top afterwards to make it a song. They write the lyrics to fit into the melody not the melody to fit into the lyrics.. I don't think they compose the melodies with a meaning behind it but rather they compose it for how the music feels to them.. They feel the music rather than think it. But each to their own mate your take on the song is yours and no one can say you are wrong or right its your own musical journey lol

      Totally agree. If only the majority of Metalheads were as open-minded as well. Then again, plenty of channels are starting to appear where Metalheads react to Hip-Hop, so change is definitely coming. Music is a universal language, and it comes in all shapes. I listen to almost everything, be it Metal, Rock, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Funk, RnB, Blues, Pop, Classical or even Video Game music (which has come a long way). I just can't imagine my life without music.

    Nooooooo!!!! I just got it. That part where it gets real mellow is the way it feels when the drug kicks in. It goes with the song!!!!! Like the beginning part is your sober life. You notice everything and it seems overwhelming because it all comes at you at once. Then you take the drug and it mellows out. Then at the end when it picks up again, that’s when the high wears off and you hit sobriety again. Bruh, how do you have bars laced into the phonetic structure of your song? #ThatsTough #JaRuleWhereYouAt

    My friend you've only scratched the surface of metal. Once you go down the road and invest time into really doing your research around metal bands, different styles and different generations you'll quickly realize there's no other genre you can compare it to.
    If you had to pick a genre that was closest to metal/rock, it would he classical. They follow alot of the same patterns.

    The song tells a story and the music a huge part. At 7:30 the tune changes to really mellow because you've just shot up and this is the high, but eventually it wears off. At 9:33 the high is gone and the withdrawal kicks in. The music gets fast and heavy (your desperate search for a new fix). He even says "FIX ME!".

    Some say Metallica is the gateway to metal . One of the greats. There's many, many great songs and artists among the metal community. Metal and many other genres is an art. Like hiphop/rap. Each artists have their own unique style. Some similar, some very far apart. All I gotta say is welcome to the metal community. Many great artists yet to come. I like your reactions because you actually listen to the music, the lyrics, etc. Lyrics are big in metal. Some have many meanings but as I say. Welcome to the metal community. There will be many songs that will keep you going/swipe you off your feet. Enjoy the Ride

    “They’re changing it up on us.” Dude, Metallica were the masters of that. Riff changes, tempo changes, they always kept you on your toes.

    Aye, that’s one thing that Rock can do that hip hop can’t. If you rap to a beat and change the beat halfway through, we call it a new song. Period. But Metallica did this same thing with One. It starts off mellow with the guitar strings and then BAM!!!!!!! They doing something similar with this track. And to be honest? I’m fuckin wit it.
