Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Battery is found in me
Battery
Never-ending potency
Hungry violence-seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Battery is found in me
Battery
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry
We create the battery
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Battery is found in me
Battery
Battery
Battery
Anyone who has truly experienced rage knows that there is hardly anything more potent and pure than that rush, and they are reminded of that when they hear this song. The song structure itself is a microcosm of the event, with the clean guitar piece in the beginning, escalating to that frenzied riff. Hmmmph, think I'll go out and smash something now...........
everyone is missing the simple meaning of this song. battery is about metallica being the best. battery is literally what drives them. hetfield is saying metallica is here to stay. metallica is in him crushing all that cower
It's not that kind of battery. obviously. It's battery as in 'assault & battery'. Have you considered reading the lyrics?

It's gotta be about a mosh pit, or just the general crowd at a concert. There is tremendous energy like a battery and "pounding out aggression, turns into obsession" sums up a metal concert for me. It's also like a big family, and is in all of us.
The Waldorf Club on Battery St. is where Metallica always used to go I think it's also where they would soon tell Jason that he made the band.
As Jules4099 says, is correct. The battery is the energy that give you the adreneline rush you get when you are raging.
I believe that Battery is the result of rage. it goes pounding through someone's agressive which turns to Obsession. with Obsession, comes rage. like what happened to john lenin, fan's agression turned to obession and kill the singer.

Lol one small typo changes one of the greatest songwriters of all time into one of the greatest communists of all time ("greatest" in the second case meaning least genocidal and causing the least amount of his own people's deaths through starvation or overwork).

This song reminds me what i have to do every time i step onto a field. I'm not the best player, but when i play like this i go psycho and hit anyone and everyone
I've always interpreted this song as being the thoughts of someone who's beating up their spouse/boyfried/girlfriend (and pretty fuckin bad at that). "Pounding out aggression, turns into obsession", it just fits in my mind.
Two kinds of battery. The first is the act of beating someone up, assault etc.
The other Battery means both a positive and a negative side to everything. I also hear this song is about the "Old Waldorf Club" or something.
interesting info about the waldorf club :)...i always thought that this song was just about beating people up ;)
i think this about rage. When you're in rage, you forget about everything, only beat, destroy etc. Everything exept the chorus is about this ("smashing non-believers"-beat everybody who isn't your oppinion)
