In Flames - Metaphor Lyrics






[Verse:]
You stole my pure intention
You are the sickness in between
Let me in, I'll bury the pain

You taught me to be sad at you
You almost made me take it all
Let me in, I'll bury the pain

You bend me and you shake me
You beg me then you break me
Let me in, I'll bury the pain

You made me feel like a sinner
Now you fear you'll die alone
Let me in, I'll bury the pain

[Chorus:]
The sickness that you are
The plague that made me starve
You think you can show me how I've come this far

I feel it's taking over
Everything falls dark
Break me open
The desperate cry

  8. E.... T....

    In Flames simply create my taste of music. Each song and album are different places for me in my self.

  9. C.... W....

    This song is just amazing, really a good feel to it
    When I was first turned on to it
    I couldn't believe that such a heavy metal band like them did this
    it really is a strange but awesome departure from what they" normally" play

  10. B.... ....

    B.... T....

    B.... T....

    Already dead inside. LET THE PARTY BEGIN!

    B.... T....

    we all are, sort of, but you need to be dead outside to enjoy your own funeral, will check on you later or let me know after you die.

    B.... T....

    Sela olur yasin olur fatiha olur ama metaphor olmaz

    B.... T....

    Listen to Pantera, planet caravan, get back to a bro.

  34. R.... H....

    Even after more than 10 years it is still one of my most favorites one... This was once my regular song while taking a bus trip, looking out of the window on my Walkman phone... Good old days.

    R.... H....

    +Redwan Hasan I'm probably the same age as you, but... what in the name of Toyota, god of hybrids, is a walkman phone?

    R.... H....

    @Martigan Wright sony walkman phone or the W series phone? Don't remember them? Moto and sony were awesome for audio output back in that time. I have used 300 series to all the way up to 900 series and left them because the M2 cards were expensive and smartphones started popping up here and there.

    R.... H....

    Oh you mean the Sony Walkman phone. Haha, yeah this was trending for a while. I was thinking of a walkman as in the mobile cassette player and it blew my mind when I read "walkman phone". My bad.  :)

    R.... H....

    Well I was thinking maybe Sony Ericsson phones were not that popular in your place that's why you didn't get it. Yeah that would be mind blowing too, can you imagine say a Panasonic RQ P45, the one that I had with a built in Nokia 3100! Would be something amazing and stupid.

    R.... H....

    Redwan Hasan same

  35. U.... ....

    This song is great !

  36. M.... Z....

    Still a classic

  37. M.... K....

    I miss the old "In FLames"

    M.... K....

    that song is actualyl really great. but yea, the old albums were way better overall

    M.... K....

    +Graf Tod Von Mordberg agreed...and even the age-old songs from this one-in-a-million band sound brand new every time..aint got no band like In FLames

  38. M.... ....

    let mi in i burry the pain

  39. r.... z....

    One of the very few In Flames songs from the whole catalog I don't really like that much

    r.... z....

    +ravnic zahl cool story bro

  40. S.... M....

    you beg me then you break me..

  41. D.... ....

  48. v.... ....

    do they have official video ?

  49. D.... D....

    where is that death metal? only for the weak?

    D.... D....

    This is a break from the metal in the album. Don't bother listening to any music if you're that stupid.

  50. R.... C....

    Beautiful lyrics!

  51. m.... ....

    is this melodic death metal?

    m.... ....

    the band is melodeath, the song is...well, it's In Flames own unique style that brings pieces like this into melodeath

    m.... ....

    it's not i think. I dont even know what it is supposed to be but it doesnt change the fact that i love it

  52. J.... W....

    I want to check them out, but "Metaphor" is so common, I can't find more info on this Metaphor

    J.... W....

    The band is called "In Flames". "Metaphor is the name of the song 

    J.... W....

    @Tsvetan Bondjov Ah, OK, thanks! 

  53. B.... P....

    MrRklex, before you will put your opinion... Listen to most Of their songs, and learn some about IF. Tour opiniom about this amazing vocalist basing on one song is faggy, not the style you talking about. And BTW, its not moody song ;) listen to 'the chosen pessimist' .

  54. M.... ....

    next time when you find yourself in such mood, try to listen "people equal shit" or "what don't kill you makes you more strong"

  55. M.... ....

    I'm not even taking into account that he makes his voice sounding like a girl punished by her parents :). Seriously.

  56. M.... ....

    oh come on. The person who performs this song obviously says from position of weakness. "you break me" etc. I personally don't like to empathize a weak man, why would I? We listen to music to get inspiration, not to feel ourselves like a faggy injured by his girlfriend.
    If someone feels comfortable in this position - no probs, i don't intend to argue whether it's good or not, i'm just saying the fact that the author shows himself faggy.

  57. A.... D....

    ages ago...when inflames still cared...

    A.... D....

    and what about the new album .

  58. d.... ....

  75. X.... ....

    people that don't feel these songs don't have the appreciation for anger, sadness etc. They've never experienced it

  76. b.... ....

    This song needs to be 12 minutes longer so I dont have to keep restarting it.

  77. s.... .....

    let me in i'll bury the pain

  78. T.... ....

    I'm from sweden and i speak with an american accent, doesn't mean i'm american, also they spoke swedish and said they were from gothenburg when i was at a in flames concert in gothenburg so please STFU and enjoy the swedish metal

  79. M.... C....

    Lovely Song! <3

  80. S.... S....

    :-| that doesn't make them American either.

  81. F.... ....

    In Sweden, people get proper education. So that they are fluent in more than one language.

  83. E.... J....

    The drums on 1:58 does something to my soul. I can feel it rushing through my veins. Sort of creepy and awesome at the same time.

  84. J.... M....

    love it

  85. L.... ....

    most swedes have an american accent while speaking english. :o

  86. F.... E....

    I was walking to my home. I was just confused for some reason. Realized that i have a real music called Metaphor in my mp3 player. Started to play that song and guess what. It happened to me: a big smile just appeared in my face. Maybe the biggest one in my life. That's what i call "music".
