The God That Failed
Because many fans believed Metallica was worshipping the devil, this heavy metal band’s reputation suffered as a consequence of the song “The God That Failed,” which became a smash for the band. In actuality, however, it is opposite from the situation. The truth is the song talks about religion as well as how the world have become too dependent on it, especially with regard to healing, according to the band. Specifically, the lyrics draw inspiration from James Hetfield’s mother refusing to seek chemotherapy for the cancer she was inflicted with, claiming instead that she would be healed by God.

Macho Man
It isn’t surprising that the group Village People aren’t known for producing music with serious tones, especially when you consider that the group’s most popular song is “YMCA.” Contrary to popular belief, one of the group’s hits was composed with a deep message in mind. A classic masculine archetype in American culture and history is shown in the song “Macho Man,” which was composed to that end. Randy Jones, meanwhile, asserted that it wasn’t working well for them. It was ultimately successful in making it less serious while also making it little more fun overall.
