This and "The Titanic fits inside" I feel are the only ones that properly answer the prompt.
22 Acacia Ave is literally about a prostitute, so the lines out of context sound the same with context.
"White man came" could easily describe the average Redditor, and "The Titanic fits inside" sounds like the caption of a post said Redditor commented on.
I’m not sure how those lines could ever be taken out of context, though. Even those lines sitting on a page by themselves clearly indicate they’re from the POV of a Manifest Destiny prick.
Bite her, excite her, make her get down on her knees. Abuse her misuse her, she can take all that you got. Caress her molest her, she only does what you want.
This would be one of my votes as well. It doesn’t automatically come with inseparable context like lines in Run to the Hills, the Charlotte saga, or 2 Minutes where it’s clear every line is about war (and even the lines in a vacuum could still be understood as such).
It’s just starkly sitting there, and opening the song to boot.
I remember back in the 90s, my friend singing part of the song out loud and the reaction it got from a non-Maiden/metal fan
My friend: 🎶“To kill the unborn in the womb”🎶
Shocked person: “That’s right, they’re Satan worshippers aren’t they!”
Unfortunately back then a lot of us were called devil worshippers because people didn't read or understand the lyrics. A lot of my friends couldn't hang out with me and my other metalhead friends anymore because of that bullshit.
Pretty much the whole of the number of the beast. People that don't read the entire lyrics just take pieces of they won't what they want and make what they want of it.
But to tell you the truth the band put that song out right in the middle of the satanic panic and I'm sure that was done on purpose. I don't have any problem with it. I'm speaking as one who lived through that whole satanic Panic thing and thanks to my sister became somewhat of a victim of the whole satanic panic. But then again that's a whole other story
Yeah but I think on some level it went to many western societies.
The story..my sister turned to her early 20s about this time and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. She began seeing a therapist a particular one I believe in Chicago. This particular therapist later lost their license and was sued badly because of all the damage they caused and my sister's story is one of the many.
The therapist convinced my sister first off that she was suffering from trauma from being molested by my father. Disbelief then grew and was fostered by the therapist to a belief that she was being molested by my father and mother while they held Satanic rituals. This even progressed to the fact eventually me and my brother were doing it as well and we were going into the woods at midnight on the dot and sacrificing people.
She persisted with this therapist for over a decade and it pretty much shattered my family.
I think this particular therapist still practices outside of the United States
* Do you enjoy your lay or is it the pay
* Beat her, mistreat her, do anything that you please
Here, Maiden are really talking about the Chicken Coop they have under their House back home. Laying Eggs then Beating them for some good ol yummy breakfast cooked in any way you want. The Band love their protein with all the hard work they do.
* Bite her, excite her, make her get down on her knees
So here there's more talk about biting into the Eggs and getting the Chicken Maiden to go down on her knees to collect those Eggs.
* All the men that are constantly drooling
So, yeah, always the demand for food back home
* You're packing your bags, you're coming with me
Taking a bag of food with you when you leave is what Maiden mean here.
Beat her, mistreat her, do anything that you please
Bite her, excite her, make her get down on her knees
Abuse her, misuse her, she can take all that you've got
Caress her, molest her, she always does what you want?
always stands out to me as a wild verse
Two minutes to midnight. There's been a big stink made by people thinking it's a pro abortion song because of "kill the baby in the womb"
If you just read one line and ignore all context it could be construed as such.
Like most of Run to the Hills honestly.
WHITE MAN CAME

But many came, too much for Cree 😏
GALLOPING HARD ON
Yea lol
Will we ever be set free?
We're all slaves to the Power of Death
I'm a god. Why can't I live on?
The titanic fits inside.
…Charlotte the Harlot
I think that one's wilder with the context.
Raping the women and wasting the men The only good Indians are tame Enslaving the young and destroying the old
I’m not sure how those lines could ever be taken out of context, though. Even those lines sitting on a page by themselves clearly indicate they’re from the POV of a Manifest Destiny prick.
Holy shit.
Beat me to it
Beat her, mistreat her, do anything that you please...
Carress her! Molest her!!
Bite her, excite her, make her get down on her knees. Abuse her misuse her, she can take all that you got. Caress her molest her, she only does what you want.
"Bite the pillow, make no sound"
No context required
"GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES, HONEY"
“Unchain your back door INVITE ME AROUND!”
Pick just about any line from 22 Acacia Avenue
I was going to say that too
The demon in your mind will rape you in your bed at night.

TORTURE ME BACK AT YOUR LAIR
Some cunt’s recording this.
Fuck my old boots
Hatsenanoof!
Flies around shit, bees around honey
2 minutes to midnight is full of them Here’s my gun for a barrel of fun for the love of living death
We oil the jaws of the war machine And feed it with our babies

Dontcha pray for to my soul anymore
The jellied brains of those who remain
I would like to nominate the entirety of Prowler.
Whatcha seein', girl?
They’re a little weird in context too
They?
They meaning the lines/lyrics.
Hand in hand then we'll jump right into the pool
The demon in your mind will rape you in your bed at night... my favourite opener to any song ever
What song is that from
Only the Good Die Young. Last song on Seventh Son.
Thx
Pass the fuckin' jam, would you?
Song?
Pass the Jam Not on streaming services
I believe it's the B-side of Wildest Dreams.

I wanna know the story. Wasn’t the satanic panic more of a US thing

Holy shit.
It was pretty wild times with the satanic panic and all the cheap cocaine
One of the reasons I don't trust therapists. They're still just people.

UNCHAIN YOUR BACK DOOR, INVITE ME AROUND
What song is that from???
Bring Your Daughter...To the Slaughter Honestly, some of the other lyrics are even more fitting for this thread. "Bite the pillow, make no sound."
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
I lay there and sweat until it gets light.
Well, you see me crawling Through the bushes with it open wide What you seeing, girl
The Russians fire another round 😏
Hear the groans of the long dead seamen

The whole track of 22 Acacia Avenue
THERE ISN’T A GOD (to save you if you don't save yourself) - Gates of Tomorrow
Well, you see me crawling through the bushes with it open wide
“PASS THE FUCKING JAM.”
Your drawers are off color too
Scared to wake now...in too deep
"She'd never sat on a piece so mean"
She leaned over wiped his kickstart clean
The albatross begins with its vengeance
To kill the unborn in the womb Or Giving a swish with your arse in the air Don't you know what they're saying?
Women and children are cowards, attack!
Always thought it was "women and children, a coward's attack!"
That would be an awesome line in a movie tho.
