A technique such as talking to a second person in the lyrics allows the audience to feel included‚ asking them rhetorical questions that are repeated. In the first verse‚ the composer justifies significantly that they do not ‘fit in this place’ and exclaims that ‘their thoughts cast me out/their home has run

Jan Demafiles English 1301 Professor Huff 24 November 2012 Outsider Music For Outsider People For as long as it has existed heavy metal has consistently been stereotyped‚ dismissed and condemned. Everything from the lyrics‚ the imagery‚ and the guttural vocals has been badgered by everyone who does not believe heavy metal is not a form of music. I am here to set the record straight.

first thing that set me off when giving these songs a try was the overwhelming instrumentals (heavy electric guitar and drum use) that made it hard to hear/understand the lyrics. Good instrumentals are important characteristics of a successful song‚ but don’t necessarily mean the song is bad without them.
