Terror 2000 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd like to be a star, I got my hair dyed black
And I just got a brand new guitar..
[Chorus:]
I stole some riffs from a CD today
I think it was At The Gates..
I blend it up with my personal taste
Chunky riffs and some cookie monster vox, will be enough to get us signed
Sony music is looking for a band, dude I think I got a plan
In Flames and Soilwork have just sold out, and one of the singers is getting bald
My time has come, I'm gonna be a shooting star
So don't step in my way
My rules must be obeyed..
[Chorus:]
I stole some riffs from a CD today
I think it was At The Gates..
I blend it up with my personal taste
My friends got totally amazed
Our sound is totally new, such a gift to the world
My piercing looks nice in the corner of my mouth, I got it from a hot topic girl
I'm really such a sensitive guy
I'm scared those machoriffs will fuck up my style
So please. Take a look at me, I want to look so mean
I'm ready to take on the world
And all my friends. They agree!
[Chorus]
So don't step in my way
My rules must be obeyed
The lyrics to "Wrath of the Cookie Monster" by Terror 2000 tell the story of a cocky, self-assured young musician who dreams of soaring to stardom. He has all the trappings of heavy metal – black hair, a new guitar, and a penchant for cookie monster vocals. The lyrics reveal his plan to create something new by borrowing material from At The Gates (a Swedish death metal band), and blending it with his own personal style. He's desperate to be noticed by Sony Music, who he believes are looking for a new band since In Flames and Soilwork, two popular bands, have just sold out.
The main themes of the song are arrogance and ambition. The singer is convinced that he's going to be a star and that everyone around him will fall in line and recognize his greatness. He's willing to steal riffs from other bands and blend them with his own style to create something he believes will set his band apart. The lyrics suggest that he's willing to do whatever it takes to climb to the top, despite his relative lack of experience and talent. He believes that his time has come, and he's not going to let anyone stand in his way.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the music industry and the often-hollow aspirations of young musicians who are desperate for fame and fortune. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and hunger, which are emotions that many people can relate to. The song is delivered with a sense of humor and irony, which make it an entertaining listen.
