Seek & Destroy
Metallica Lyrics

Yeah yeah yeah (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
The band is getting pumped up and ready to play, and the repeated 'yeahs' are a way of expressing that excitement and energy.

Scanning the scene
The band is looking around and taking it all in, getting a feel for the atmosphere of the concert venue.

In the city tonight
The band is in a large urban area, playing a show and looking to connect with the audience.

We are looking for you
The band is addressing the audience directly, letting them know that they are there to rock out and have a good time together.

To start up a fight
The band is looking to create an energetic atmosphere where people can let loose and get rowdy, as a way of expressing themselves and having fun.

There is an evil feeling
The band is tapping into the dark, intense emotions that can accompany live music, and using that energy as fuel for their performance.

In our brains
The band members are feeling this intensity on a personal level, and it's driving them to give their all in the performance.

But it is nothing new
This kind of feeling is familiar to them as performers, and they know how to channel it into the music they create.

You know it drives us insane
The intensity of the music and the energy of the audience can be overwhelming, and the band members want to embrace that and let it fuel their performance.

Running,
The band is moving quickly and with purpose, building up momentum for the performance to come.

On our way
The band members are focused and determined as they move around the stage and prepare to play.

Hiding,
The band is hunting for something – perhaps a perfect riff or a great moment of audience interaction – and is ready to pounce when it appears.

You will pay
The band wants to inspire people to engage with their music, and is willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen, even if it means getting a little aggressive.

Dying,
The band feels like they are risking everything in order to put on a great performance, and the intense nature of the music feels like a matter of life and death.

One thousand deaths
The band isn't being literal, but is instead evoking the intensity of the experience of music, which can feel like it's taking you to a different realm entirely.

Fucking running,
The band is emphasizing the passionate urgency they feel as they perform, and how that energy is coursing through every member of the group.

Searching,
The band is looking for something exciting and new in the music, and is using this sense of exploration to get the audience excited as well.

Seek and Destroy
This is a direct call to the audience to engage with the intensity of the music, and to revel in the power and electricity of the performance.

(Seek and Destroy)
The band repeats this phrase to let the audience join in the fun and really get swept up in the energy of the music.

There is no escape
The music is all-consuming, and the intensity of the experience aims to leave people breathless and exhilarated in a way they can never fully get away from.

And that is for sure
The certainty of the experience is a key part of its appeal, and the band is committed to making sure everyone has a good time and is swept up in the energy of the music.

This is the end we won't take any more
The band is using the music to push boundaries and create a powerful experience that people won't forget any time soon.

Say goodbye to the world you live in
The intensity of the music transcends everyday life, and helps people enter into a new, more powerful realm of experience.

You have always been taking but now you're giving
The band is encouraging people to let loose and participate in the music, rather than just observing from the sidelines.

Very simple
The band is using simplicity as a way of emphasizing the passion and energy of the music, without getting bogged down in overly complex arrangements or lyrics.

It's got three words to it man
The simplicity of the song is part of what makes it so fun and engaging for the audience, and allows everyone to participate and have a great time.

Seek and destroy
This phrase is repeated to really drive home the excitement and energy of the music, and the sense of exploration and discovery that comes with live performance.

Now you guys know your lines man
The band is letting the audience join in the fun and engage with the music on a deeper level by repeating these simple phrases back to them.

We know you can give it here now. give it to me now!
The band is stoking the excitement and energy of the crowd, and is using their passion and enthusiasm to fuel an even more energetic performance.

Since everyone is doing so fucking good
The band is celebrating the success of the performance so far, and is using that energy to inspire an even better performance going forward.

Here's to you

Last one, hurt yourself!
