I'll prove it
'End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your death's construction'
How you inject the drugs into your veins and it kills you faster.
'Taste me, you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you'
About how once you've tasted drugs you'll want to come back to them and just keep doing them.
'Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master'
You'll find yourself a slave, or puppet, to the drugs and your life will end quicker, and you will crawl back to them
'Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings, yeah
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Hell Yeah!'
How you will be blinded by the drugs and your dreams will become impossibilities and you will screw up your mind
'Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror'
How you will use needles to inject and how you usually snort cocaine off of a mirror
'Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Never-ending maze, drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season'
This part is basically about how you will get lost in a maze created by the drugs and dying from them
'I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you, too'
How when you are addicted, it's hard to stop, it will control you and kill you faster.
There.

Master of Puppets is about how substance abuse (mostly drugs) destroys your life. The master of Puppets is the drugs controlling your mind.
Ex. "Chop your breakfast on a mirror"
Cocaine addiction
Ex. " Needlework the way, never you betray, life of death becoming clearer."
Heroine addiction, you can't quite the drug, your life is continually ruined as you delve deeper into the addiction
Ex. "Master of puppets is pulling your strings."
Addiction controls you
If you listen to the song there are many other examples
And don't forget
METALLICA KICKS ASS!!!!!
Your fellow metalhead,

Well guys, it's so easy. The master is the drugs dealer, and puppets is the addict... The last laughs of hetfield in the song describe the master laughing the addict... check out my metallica song info site : www.LyricallicA.4t.com enjoy.

Ummmm nooooooo, it's not about James having no vein in his penis... It's about drugs and how they take over your life.. The drug is the master "come crawling faster, obey your master" crawling back to the drug (the master) "taste me you will see more is all you need" that makes it very clear it's about drug use. "master of puppets I'm pulling your srtings, twisting your mind and smashing your dreams, blinded bu me you can't see a thing, just call my name and il hear you scream" drugs crash your dreams and as you probably know when your on drugs its like a master hence "master of puppets" your the puppet. another good example "taste me you will see more is all you need" you have it once your more than likely to have it again.
so I really dnt think it's about his veinless penis...
correct me if I'm wrong ... and go easy I'm only 15 haha

I'm simply curious, is "Hell is worth all that, natural habitat, just a rhyme without a reason" really just that? a rhyme without a reason?

No... you are all wrong... It's about a "Snowhite and the seven dwarves", it is obvious that the Snowhite is "Master" and she is the boss in the house, as for dwarves - they are puppets. It's so easy to figure out, all you need to do is to think deeper...

The song is clearly about drugs. Any decent Metallica fan could see that. I don't know if anyone reading this is a Star Wars fan, but the lyrics almost reminded me of Darth Vader and the Emperor the first time I heard it, the Emperor being the Master and Vader being the Puppet.
But yes, the song is undoubtedly about drugs. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to do some research.

Yea this is song is most likely about drugs due to such lines like "chop your breakfast on a mirror" but there are a few lines in here that make you think it could of been about the horrors of war, such lines like "I'm crawling faster, obey your master" referring to crawling soldiers need to do in the midst of battle and fighting without a reason and to just obey your selfish government and "pain monopoly" I thought could be referring to the selfish goals of money for our government and willing to sacrifice the pain and suffering of America's young men...i don't know just what I first thought the song was about until I saw ALL of the lyrics

dam, there's alot of retards that make guesses of what this means. but it's really about james and his addiction to alcohol. Alcohol is the master. And most the people that get a taste. want more and more and are unable to control it. I'm definitly a puppet to this wonderful master. Alcoholica 4 life! From a true metallica fan. Peace!

This song could easily mean about how drugs can kill you, but I always thought the album was about the United States Government sending people out to war just to get killed whilst the Government bath in their money. Because you'll notice, on the album cover, the army helmet hanging off the gravestone furthest to the left. Also on the album cover, notice the two puppet hands controlling the dead soldiers.
I think ...And Justice For All covers this more though, but in the actual Master Of Puppets song lyrics, on the verse just before the solo - Laughter, laughter, all I hear or see is laughter. Laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries. And also at the end of the song all that laughter. What could that mean?
