Written during the hard times (narrows it down, doesn't it?), this song was originally intended to be a barnburner, but I liked the acoustic demo so much, I thought, why ruin it?
industrial acid street doom stoner sludge
Artist picture
Mettaya = Nirvana X Metallica / Black Sabbath
Mettaya is all about new music from familiar origins. While the ingredients are common, it's the care in their proportion and seasoning that makes the dish so tasty. Heavy metal used to it's highest purpose, no pun intended. A rethinking of what heavy music is, was, and could be, daring to tread where few 'heavy' musicians would even be caught dead thinking about. Mettaya is the 'heavy' sister band to Radiosmack, also Dan fronted and lead, the no-holds-barred counterpoint to the 'lighter' (ish) Rock/Traditional sounds of that band. You may just like both!

Story behind the song
There isn't so much of a story behind this song - it's just me wringing my heart out.
Lyrics
Every time I wake up, the world is more insane Every time I turn around you're that much more afraid Gone insane, with doped-up veins I ask you what's the harm I close my eyes and embrace the end with a pair of open arms I don't need you to tell me I'm on my own I know that in the end I'll only die alone You pass me in the street as though you don't know my face Just walk on by and don't say hi, let alone a warm embrace All these years have passed, yeah nothing lasts, but what's inside your head? Even though we're through I can't forget you, but maybe when I'm dead... I don't need you to tell me I'm on my own I know that in the end I'll only die alone One of these days, so goes the phrase, you'll know the reason why Until then, ask again and again, how many times must I die? Nothing is real, so what's the deal are you listening to me God? The devil's in disguise behind green eyes though I find it kind of odd I don't need you to tell me I'm on my own I know that in the end I'll only die alone Every time I wake up, the world is more insane Every time I turn around you're that much more afraid Gone insane, with doped-up veins I ask you what's the harm I close my eyes and embrace the end with a pair of open arms
