Whatever symbolism is behind the werewolf reference, it is definately there. Maybe it refers to the rites of Siberian shamanic 'shapeshifting' but if you shape shift into a wolf, you are a werewolf. I don't literally believe in werewolves or anything. Lyrically | Reviewer: Patrick | 12/5/07 A work of pure genius, Metallica have a unique style of writing music that brings such power, energy and meaning to tehir songs. Your missing the details | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/2/07 The lyrics aren't about war or werewovles. Metallica and many metal lyric writers have a big thing for nature writers. Wildness is the preservation of the world is a quote from Thoreau. Feeling I have been and most of the regression style lyrics harken to Quamnen, Muir, and Emerson. They often spoke of transcendence and a return to nature. The animal man dualism is the point. No war, no werewolves people. Gotta love those literate metal heads, Metallica Missing the reading | Reviewer: Matt | 12/2/07 The song is a big nature writer tribute. The entire theme of going back to more animal like ways in order to transcend your current state is an old nature writer favorite. For God's sake people he directly quotes Thoreau's Walking by saying "In Wildness is the preservation of the world." So sorry guys no werewolves or wars. Just a bunch of metal gods that love nature. So get out there and seek the wolf in thyself. heavy | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/11/07 These lyrics arent cheesy at all - its brilliant! Its got a very high caliber of literacy engrained in a beat that really puts images of snarling ravenous packs of wolves running thru harsh snow-nights into my head.. when i replay it in my head at a given time of day or in a given situation i feel adrenaline burn thru me and im ready to rip out trees or get over any obstacles like I was a ninja! Hats off to some high quality stuff! Check out the S&M version it rocks! Of Wolf And Man... | Reviewer: Zoe | 11/5/07 This song is one of my fav songs by 'Tallica. My point of view is that we need to look back to our animal ancients so the world could be a better place, wolf and man are very alike, if the man was more like the wolf the world would be a so much better place, surely. Back to the nature! -- Zoe, the Wolf Therianthrope. Love | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/30/07 This song is about all things primal. Everything from the opening riffs to the chorus speaks to everything basic about ourselves. Or its about daisies and rainbows. Werewolf | Reviewer: Sabriel | 10/25/07 It is about becoming a Werewolf, Metallica play the RPG Werewolf: the Forsaken where you roleplay being a Werewolf. I do really like this song being a big wolf fan myself. :) war ? calm down my friend | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/15/07 Saying that those lyrics refer to war is little bit exagerated. Well, my dear peace-and-love-friends, i would suggest another idea that, i hope will seduce you ( if it doesn't, well, it's just one more stupid idea in this world...ha ha ha) It seems to me that there is a reference to the myth of the werewolf (we can see in the text this man to wolf transformation ).One more thing is that as " man is a wolf to man" , this song deals with the awakening of the beast wich is supposed to be sleeping in ou heads ( and our bodies....) In other words it is a kind of metaphor of the society...( not that original...hu hu hu, i hope you guys are going to respond to this So have a nice day and...beware of wolfs around you ( sorry for my mistakes...i hope you'll understand anyway) roaming the land | Reviewer: Dead Boy Scream | 9/15/07 the song in my opinion is quite blatantly about becoming a wolf, as if you were a wearwolf. i think the SHAPESHIFT part kinda gives it away... sick song though.
