Metal Ballads Vol.1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will never let myself forget the good times
DLC YEAH WE LIGHTING UP A BONFIRE
Light it up fill my cup I love feeling numb
Yo I'm bout to fucking take over the empire
Yo it's more than just a feeling it's a damn vibe
I been waiting for this moment like a damn tide
Yeah I'm cruising through the city on some burnt tires
I'm not paying attention I'm going all the way
You'll remember the name and that's all I got to say
1Alone this ain't comedy I got things to pray
I wish I could be living and waking up every day
To some loving parents I promise I will obey
This indescribable feeling it got me up in a haze
I been dreaming bout killing I hope it's not a phase
If I end up in prison I promise I won't break

The song then takes a turn as the singer decides to take control of their life and "take over the empire." They light up a bonfire and fill their cup, wanting to feel numb and escape reality. The singer is cruising through the city on burnt tires, not paying attention and going all the way. They want to be remembered and will do anything to make that happen. The lyrics also touch on deeper themes of wanting to have a loving family and obey them, while also experiencing an indescribable feeling that brings them into a haze.

The tone of the song is somber and intense, with the lyrics painting a vivid picture of the character's thoughts and emotions.

DLC YEAH WE LIGHTING UP A BONFIRE
Setting a bonfire with my friend DLC to enjoy the night
Light it up fill my cup I love feeling numb
I enjoy drinking and getting intoxicated
Yo I'm bout to fucking take over the empire
I'm determined to dominate any opposition
Yo it's more than just a feeling it's a damn vibe
It's not just a feeling, the atmosphere is electrifying
I been waiting for this moment like a damn tide
I have anticipated this moment for a long time
Yeah I'm cruising through the city on some burnt tires
I'm driving recklessly with burned-out tires

I'm not being cautious, I'm going full throttle
You'll remember the name and that's all I got to say
I will leave an unforgettable mark on the world
Alone this ain't comedy I got things to pray
I have serious matters to attend to, not just joking around
I wish I could be living and waking up every day
I yearn for stability, waking up to loving family
To some loving parents I promise I will obey
I will honor and obey my parents if given the chance
This indescribable feeling it got me up in a haze
I'm consumed by an overwhelming and inexplicable emotion
I been dreaming bout killing I hope it's not a phase
I have fantasized about murder, hoping it's not just a temporary interest
If I end up in prison I promise I won't break
If I end up in jail, I won't become weak or surrender

Metal is forever! Too band there isn't any Primal Fear on this list. Every Time It Rains or Fighting the Darkness fit in perfectly with this mix.
ps The Scorpions "The Good Die Young" is one of the best ballads ever!
Mittnightrunner
🤘Excellent choice of songs. Helloween, Axel Rudi Pell and Accept rock totally! Greetings from good old Germany. Long live metal!🤘
