Master of Puppets

[Plug Drugs]

no it's not you dipshit it's about a cocaine dealer. what have I told you about soapboxing when you have no clue what you're talking about

i think the band wrote it as a tribute to dave mustaine.. you know like how pink floyd wrote wish you were here as a tribute to syd barret?
okay lets break this down jungian analysis style, they're personifying drug addiction as a "master of puppets", making it out to be literally the devil trying to steal your soul
"I will knock you high, I will help you die, I will run through you, now I rule you too" is a dead giveaway

Roger Waters will say flat out that wish you were here is about Syd Barrett, the whole album is. Lets ask Metallica what master of puppets means.

'Master of Puppets' deals pretty much with drugs. How things get switched around, instead of you controlling what you're taking and doing it's drugs controlling you. Like, I went to a party here in San Francisco, there were all these freaks shooting up and geezin' and this other girl was real sick."

You'll note the distinct lack of any mention of Dave Mustaine. You fucking retard.
