Metallica's "Master of Puppets"

"Master of Puppets" is one of Metallica's most popular songs. It was released as the title track of the band's third album in 1986. The song is a complex and challenging piece of music, but it has become one of the band's most enduring anthems.

The lyrics of "Master of Puppets" are about the dangers of addiction and the struggle for control. The song's narrator is a puppet who is controlled by his addiction. He tries to break free, but he is unable to escape his master's control. The official music video of "Master of Puppets" was directed by Wayne Isham.

Metallica's "Leper Messiah"

"Leper Messiah" is another popular song from Metallica's Master of Puppets album. The song is a fast-paced and aggressive track that deals with the themes of isolation and alienation. The lyrics of "Leper Messiah" are about a person who feels like an outcast from society. He is unable to connect with others, and he feels like he is living in a world of his own.

The official music video of "Leper Messiah" was directed by Paul Rachman.
