The God That Failed
Metallica’s song “The God That Failed” did not help the heavy metal band’s image, with many fans mistaking them for devil worshippers. In reality, this isn’t the case. According to the band, the song is about people being excessively reliant on religion, particularly for healing. James Hetfield’s mother’s reluctance to seek treatment for her illness, insisting that God would heal her, inspired the lyrics.

Macho Man
The Village People aren’t known for their serious music, especially because “Y.M.C.A.” is their most well-known tune. That isn’t to suggest that one of their songs didn’t have a serious tone in mind when it was composed. The song “Macho Man” was written to portray typical American masculine characteristics. But, according to Randy Jones, it wasn’t working out. They made it a little less serious and more pleasant in the end.
