| Hand puppets storm the beach Fire trucks trapped out of reach All clowns reinforce the rear Slingshots fire into the air Stuffed bears hold the hill till death Crossfire from marionettes We shall never surrender! I never noticed this part before, but it's fucking awesome! I love this song, and I used to have the book that m3tall1ca was talking about... I don't know what happened to it, though. There was another one with the same little boy, only it was about him flying out of his bed naked and baking a giant cake with giant ingrediants. Ahem, anyway: absolutely awesome book, even better Metallica song. The raw imagery in the lyrics is outstanding, and that guitar solo is just so raw as well. It's fucking awesome. | |

| This song is one of my top 5 favorite Metallica songs. I believe it is talking about how young kids grow up and when they get out on there own, they get a huge slap in the face with reality and they come to the real world. The real world is there the wild things are. They don't have parents watching their every move and they don't know how to react in it. The kids or toy soldier are off to war because they must learn how to fight in this world to be something. | |

| The song is based upon the short story "Shadow Over Innsmouth" by H.P. Lovecraft which has been written in 1936. "Shadow Over Innsmouth" was Lovecraft's sole story which has been released as a book when he was alive. His further short stories only appeared in his lifetime in a magazine called "Weird Tales | |
