One of the differences between hard rock and heavy metal is the subject matter of the lyrics. Pick one heavy metal song and type out the lyrics. You can pick one of the songs that we've listened to such as Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid”, or Metallica’s “Master of Puppets”, or a heavy metal, death, thrash, or speed metal song of your choice. (Make sure it’s not hard rock).
What do the lyrics mean? What is the singer talking about? Do you think there is a double-meaning? Why do you think people were scared of some heavy metal back in the 1970’s?
