The roots of black metal originate from bands such as: Venom, Bathory, Hellhammer, Celtic Frost and Mercyful Fate.
The 'second wave' of black metal began with Norwegian bands in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with artists such as Burzum, Darkthrone, Mayhem, and Immortal playing a major role in the development of the genre. Black metal bands from the United States, such as Profanatica and VON, also formed around this time. Most modern black metal has built upon the groundwork laid by bands during this time period. Furthermore, following a series of church burnings associated with black metal musicians and the murder of Euronymous of Mayhem by Burzum's Varg Vikernes, the Norwegian black metal scene received considerable attention from the mainstream media.
There is no well-defined 'third wave' of black metal, but many modern bands have explored territory outside of the traditional frameworks of the genre. Bands such as Blut Aus Nord and Deathspell Omega are particularly known for incorporating various unorthodox elements into their music. Other bands, such as Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir, have become more popular by incorporating gothic sensibilities with a basic black metal framework, with both bands renowned for their use of prominent keyboards and synthesizers especially.
Although there are exceptions, modern black metal as a musical style tends to make use of high-pitched tremolo picking, shrieked or growled vocals, blast beats, unconventional song structures and an emphasis on atmosphere over technical playing styles. Black metal rarely features verse-chorus structures, generally favoring a more basic style that features extended musical sections and repetitive guitar riffs. Guitar solos are a rarity in black metal, although they are featured prominently in the music of some bands. Black metal often features very lo-fi, primitive recording quality reminiscent of the early days of the genre, but some bands have favored more professional recording techniques. While the harsh vocal style of black metal has become nearly universal, some bands still feature clean vocals, used either in conjunction with more extreme vocals or as the primary vocal style.
Some black metal bands have incorporated keyboards, neofolk instruments or other musical influences into their music. Emperor was a key band in the development of symphonic black metal, with many later bands adopting a similar, keyboard-heavy style. Bands such as Ulver and Nokturnal Mortum incorporated influences from ethnic folk music. Other influences from music such as martial industrial and dark ambient are also common.

You live in my dream state
Relocate my fantasy
I stay in reality
You live in my dream state
Any time I count sheep
That's the only time we make up, make up
You exist behind my eyelids, my eyelids
Now I don't wanna wake up
20/20, 20/20 vision
Cupid hit me, Cupid hit me with precision, eye
Wonder if you look both ways when you cross my mind
I said, I said
I'm sick of, sick of, sick of, sick of chasing
You're the one that's always running through my daydream, I
I can only see your face when I close my eyes
Can I get a kiss?
And can you make it last forever?
I said I'm 'bout to go to war (uh-huh)
And I don't know if I'ma see you again
Can I get a kiss? (Can I?)
And can you make it last forever? (Can you?)
I said I'm 'bout to go to war ('bout to)
And I don't know if I'ma see you again
(Ayy, switch it up)
I said, okay, okay, okay, okie-dokie, my infatuation
Is translatin' to another form of what you call it? (Love)
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, I ain't met you, I've been lookin'
Stop the waitin' 'fore I stop the chasin', like a alcoholic
You don't understand me, what the fuck do you mean?
It's them rose-tinted cheeks, yeah, it's them dirt-colored eyes
Sugar-honey iced tea, bumblebee on the scene
Yeah, I'd give up my bakery to have a piece of your pie
Ugh
20/20, 20/20 vision
Cupid hit me, Cupid hit me with precision, eye
Wonder if you look both ways when you cross my mind
I said, I said
I'm sick of, sick of, sick of, sick of chasing
You're the one that's always running through my daydream, I
I can only see your face when I close my eyes (so)
Can I get a kiss? (Can I get a kiss?)
And can you make it last forever? (Make it last forever)
I said I'm 'bout to go to war
I don't know if I'ma see you again (see you again)
Can I get a kiss? (Can I?)
And can you make it last forever? (Can you?)
I said I'm 'bout to go to war ('bout to)
And I don't know if I'ma see you again
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, o- (la la, la la la la, la la)

Line by Line Meaning
You live in my dream state
You exist only in my dreams and fantasies
Relocate my fantasy
You transform my fantasies into something tangible
I stay in reality
I remain in the present and do not get carried away by illusions
Any time I count sheep
Every time I try to sleep
That's the only time we make up, make up
That's the only time we come back together and reconcile
You exist behind my eyelids, my eyelids
You are always on my mind, even when I close my eyes
Now I don't wanna wake up
I don't want to snap back to reality
20/20, 20/20 vision
My eyesight is perfect
Cupid hit me, Cupid hit me with precision
I fell in love deeply and precisely
I wonder if you look both ways
I wonder if you think of me as much as I do of you
When you cross my mind
Whenever I think of you
I'm sick of, sick of, sick of, sick of chasing
I am tired of the emotional chase and pursuit
You're the one that's always running through my daydream, I
You frequently appear in my daydreams
I can only see your face when I close my eyes
My mind is filled with your image when I imagine
Can I get a kiss?
May I have a loving gesture from you?
And can you make it last forever?
Can this moment of affection never end?
I said, I'm 'bout to go to war (uh-huh)
I'm about to face life's challenges head-on
I don't know if I'ma see you again
I'm uncertain if we will meet again
I said, okay, okay, okay, okie-dokie, my infatuation
I acknowledge that I am deeply in love with you
Is translatin' to another form of what you call it? (Love)
This infatuation is turning into something deeper - love
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, I ain't met you, I've been looking
Despite not meeting you in person, I've been trying to find you
Stop the waiting 'fore I stop the chasing like an alcoholic
I need to make a move before I lose hope and interest
You don't understand me, what the fuck do you mean?
You don't really know me or what I'm going through
It's them rose tinted cheeks, yeah, it's them dirt-colored eyes
It's the blush on your cheeks and the color of your eyes that attract me
Sugar-honey iced tea, bumblebee on the scene
You're a sweet and attractive presence, like a bumblebee
Yeah, I'd give up my bakery to have a piece of your pie
I'd give up everything I have to be with you
Okay, okay, okay, okie-dokie, my infatuation
I am still in love with you
One more time?
Can we do this again?
