Black Metal
Sacred Warrior Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You see your face in that magazine
You wanna be in the spotlight
Each day goes by you're living a dream
Countless hours spent in front of the mirror
You've really made it clear

(Coro:)
Long hair parted between the eyes
Silk pants wrapped tight around your thighs
Each day goes by you're living a dream

You try so hard, say what can I do
Or how can I make it
Why not admit it's a part of a dream
Countless hours spent in front of the mirror
You've really made it clear

(Coro:)
Long hair parted between the eyes
Silk pants wrapped tight around your thighs
Each day goes by you're living a dream

(BRIDGE:)
Why do you want to follow the leader
You should set the example
You gotta want to be like Jesus the messiah
He's a jealous God
He wants you to serve Him with your life
Oh He can't take it anymore, more, more

Long hair parted between the eyes
Silk pants wrapped tight around your thighs
Each day goes by you're living a dream
You see your face in that magazine
You wanna be in the spotlight
Long hair parted between the eyes
Silk pants wrapped tight around your thighs




Each day goes by you're living a dream
Don't try so hard to be like everyone else.

Overall Meaning

The song "Black Metal" by Sacred Warrior is a critique of the obsession with fame and the need to conform to popular culture. The lyrics describe a person who is desperate to be in the spotlight and is willing to do anything to achieve that goal. The first lines of the song, "You see your face in that magazine, you wanna be in the spotlight," create an image of a person who is constantly seeking validation through media exposure. The next lines, "Each day goes by, you're living a dream, countless hours spent in front of the mirror, you've really made it clear," highlight the amount of time and effort this person is dedicating to their appearance and their image.


Later in the song, the lyrics shift to a criticism of the desire to follow popular trends and conform to societal expectations. The bridge of the song makes an explicit reference to Christianity, suggesting that the only true role model to follow is Jesus, and that by serving him, one's life can have more meaning than simply trying to be like everyone else. The final lines of the song, "Long hair parted between the eyes, silk pants wrapped tight around your thighs, each day goes by you're living a dream, don't try so hard to be like everyone else," serve as a reminder that true individuality comes from being comfortable with oneself and rejecting the need to conform to trends or societal norms.
