Enter Sandman Lyrics
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone
Keep you free from sin
Till the Sandman he comes
Gripping your pillow tight
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite, yeah
Gripping your pillow tight
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land, yeah
Pray the Lord my soul to keep (pray the Lord my soul to keep)
If I die before I wake (If I die before I wake)
Pray the Lord my soul to take (pray the Lord my soul to take)
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head
Enter night
Grain of sand
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land, yeah
Yeah yeah
Yo, oh
We're off to never never land (take my hand)
We're off to never never land
We're off to never never land
We're off to never never land
We're off to never never land
Yes this song is definitely about fears. Also it is about dreaming and how limitless we are in our dreams. And when we realize the limitlessness we expect the worse and develop fear.
I always thought this song was about fear and dreams/nightmares, and the fact that no amount of prayers you say will allow you to escape fear and be free from it.
Yes, I think it's representing our deepest fears represented by a kid having nightmares. Awesome song. 1st song I learned to play on the guitar.
one of the greatest intros ever with a phenomenal guitar solo
some people seem to claim this song is about suicide, but I beg to disagree. it's just a trip into the darkest part of a child's nightmare.
maddox86, how the hell can u say slipknot is a lot better than metallica, metallica will kik slipknots ass 1 million times over, slipknot sux!
here here!
here here!
where?
where?
While it is true that Metallica could kick Slipknot's butt anytime they wanted to, I have to say that Slipknot is one of the best and most influential metal bands of all time. I also happen to think Joey Jordison of Slipknot is a much better drummer than Lars Ulrich. But don't get me wrong, Metallica is my favorite band ever, but never say Slipknot sucks.

This is an awesome and euphoric song, which (to me) talks about the nightmare that causes heroin usage. he also reinforces it saying he is not talking aboute coke: "...And they aren't of snow white". Heroin at first its very pleasent :"Tuck you in, warm within". But after, heroin alters his perception of reality: "Its just the beasts under your bed,in your closet, In your Head!":
" Exit: light, Enter: night, Take my hand, We're off to never never land" = heroin is presenting itself and carriying him away.. Grain of sand = heroin.

@psyland Talk about grasping at straws, some people need to realise not all songs are about drugs. This song has never given me any indication it is about drugs, each to their I suppose. But Hetfield has explained it isn't about drugs, but fears.

hahaha....ecstasy....and other drugs you inject? oh that's funny....
I agree with maddox in a way..and dissagree in a way, Metallica is better than Slipknot, but Slipknot still owns..all u steriotypical bastards never ever heard slipknot I'll bet and all u think is that they scream and fight and shit..u are all a bunch of dumbas people
TheGame56, i dont know whether or not you'll ever look on this forum again, but members of the band have in fact done many drugs. I believe load and reload are proof enough. They talk about it in some kind of monster, though no one has commented since it came out.
