I feel you too
Feel those things you do
In your eyes I see a fire that burns
To free the you
That's running through
Deep inside you know
Seeds I plant will grow
And dare to come down to me
Yeah come on come on now take the chance
That's right let's dance
Snake
I am the snake
Tempting
That bite you take
Let me make your mind
Leave yourself behind
Be not afraid
I've got what you need
Hunger I will feed
One day you will see
And dare to come down to me
Yeah, come on, come on now take the chance
Ha ha come dance
Yeah, come dancing
One day you will see
And dare to come down to me
Yeah, come on, come on now take the chance
Yeah I feel you too
Feel those things you do
In your eyes I see a fire that burns to free the you
That's running through
Deep inside you know
Seeds I plant will grow
One day you will see
And dare to come down to me
Yeah, come on, come on now take the chance
That's right let's dance
Mm, it's nice to see you here ha ha
The lyrics of Devil's Dance by Metallica describe the internal struggle of a person who is wrestling with temptation and desires that they know are not good for them in the long run. The song uses a snake as a metaphor for this temptation, which is described as tempting and dangerous, but also alluring and able to satisfy an inner hunger. The singer of the song, who may be interpreted as the devil or some other dark force, acknowledges the person's struggle but also encourages them to give in to their desire and "dance" with him.
The lyrics are full of references to fire, snakes, and other symbols associated with temptation and the struggle between good and evil. The idea of overcoming one's fears and surrendering to temptation is a common theme in rock and metal music, and Devil's Dance is no exception. The song's intense and driving rhythm adds to the feeling of urgency and struggle described in the lyrics, making it a powerful and emotional experience for listeners.
Overall, Devil's Dance by Metallica is a complex and thought-provoking song that explores the darker side of the human psyche. It encourages listeners to confront their inner demons and take risks, even if it means giving into their darker impulses.

Ficou melhor do que a própria versão do studio, tanto o arranjo musical quanto vocal. Maravilhoso♡

Maybe the most underrated Metallica's song
JoelTRowe
One of them for sure...They have bunch of great songs which they sadly don't play at all..
Nicolas Gonzalez Ruiz Diaz
Nada más espectacular que Música Sinfónica con Metal. Una obra maestra. Mátense reggetoneros...

Que tiene que ver el reggaeton en esto? Un verdadero metalero, en lo menos que piensa cuando escucha está rola es en otros géneros y más en el reguetón. Saludos.

I never knew about this song till I bought S&M. It got to me immediately- the intro sucked me right in. It's so lush but also tribal. It made me think of a huntress tip-toeing her way through the forest as she stalks her prey, hah hah. And then Kirk comes in like a chainsaw out of left field....gorgeous work from these guys. If the stars align I will be in Boston in May to see them live, which is on my short list of goals for the year.
PS Fuck Yeah, Jason Newsted
