METALLICA

- Dyers Eve Lyrics

Dear Mother, dear Father
What is this hell you have put me through?
Believer, deceiver
Day in, day out, live my life through you
Pushed onto me what's wrong or right
Hidden from this thing that they call life

Dear Mother, dear Father
Every thought I'd think you'd disapprove
Curator, dictator
Always censoring my every move
Children are seen but are not heard
Tear out everything inspired

Innocence, torn from me without your shelter
Barred reality, I'm living blindly

Dear Mother, dear Father
Time has frozen still, what's left to be
Hear nothing, say nothing
Cannot face the fact I think for me
No guarantee, it's life as is
But damn you for not giving me my chance
Dear Mother, dear Father
You clipped my wings before I learnt to fly
Unspoiled, unspoken
I've outgrown that f*cking lullaby
Same thing I've always heard from you
Do as I say, not as I do

Innocence, torn from me without your shelter
Barred reality, I'm living blindly

I'm in hell without you
Cannot cope without you too
Shocked at the world that I see
Innocent victim please rescue me

Dear Mother, dear Father
Hidden in your world you've made for me
I'm seething, I'm bleeding
Ripping wounds in me that never heal
Undying spite, I feel for you
Living out this hell you always knew

What is the meaning behind Dyers Eve lyrics?


When we try to understand the message behind it, the song 'Dyers Eve' by Metallica is about a very difficult relationship between a kid and their parents. The feelings expressed here are betrayal, control, and resentment regarding the upbringing that not only the child but also the parents inhibit thus stifling the child’s individuality and freedom. The words represented a feeling of being stuck in a cycle of demands and restrictions that the parents have placed on their child leading to a very intense emotional conflict and a desire for a release from the overpowering mist created by the dominant parental authority. The lyrics of Dyers eve scream mostly of angst, anger, heartbreak, despair, and a bit of reflection. On the other hand, the song also highlights the role of parents in controlling and suppressing, the loss of innocence, and the struggle for identity. The lyrics portray the intensity of emotional turmoil, defiance against parental power, and use of strong words, which might be thought of as unsuitable for children under 17. The use of profanity, such as ‘fucking lullaby’ clearly indicates the presence of strong language and the whole tone conveys adult issues of conflict and pain.

Metallica is the greatest metal band ever. This song is most likely about hetfield's parents, since they raised him in a religious circle. James felt that they indoctrinated him with religion.

Dyers Eve is about a person's anger for his parents and the way they behaved him when he was young. In this song Hetfield is maybe dealing with his own past.
