Fury
Yngwie Malmsteen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That no one ever heard before
It is the tale about the fury
Remember wisdom is your strength
It said you're such a fool
Just let my evil rule
No, it's burning like a flame
Now nothing seems the same
I've lost control of mind and body
My soul is in its hand
It's wish is my command
Enslaved forever by the fury
By the fury, no!
At first it came to me in visions
And that was filling me with pain
And when my fear became desire
To let the demon burn my soul
It said "Don't fight in vain,"
"I'll make you love the pain."
No, it's burning like a flame
Now nothing seems the same
I've lost control of mind and body
My soul is in its hand
It's wish is my command
Enslaved forever by the fury
By the fury, no!
I now have told you all my story
And still for you its not too late
Don't draw your sword
Just use your wisdom
And never let this be your fate
Oh, no it's here again
This demon loves the pain
No, it's burning like a flame
Now nothing seems the same
I've lost control of mind and body
My soul is in its hand
It's wish is my command
Enslaved forever by the fury
By the fury, no!
The lyrics of Yngwie Malmsteen's "Fury" tell a story about a man who becomes enslaved by his inner "fury," or demons that can consume human will and reason. The lyrics warn the listener that falling under the control of such an entity can result in losing control of one's mind and body, becoming enslaved to the entity's every wish and command. The lyrics also suggest that the man in the story initially tried to resist the fury, indicating that it might be possible to overcome these inner demons through the use of wisdom and reason.
The lyrics are an allegory for the human experience, where "fury" represents the inner demons and negative emotions that can hold individuals back, preventing them from achieving their full potential. The song also suggests that rather than fighting these negative thoughts and feelings, individuals may need to learn to accept them and learn from them in order to grow and move forward. Overall, the song is a powerful message about the importance of self-awareness and self-mastery, of learning to listen to our inner voice and take control of our lives.
