| Name a song and what you thing the song is about. What is the story behind Anthrax's "Now It's Dark"? | |

I wonder if the band ever spoke about it in a interview? | |

Just went and read the lyrics. I'd say that's as pretty good a guess as any. I've always heard that Anthrax's 'N.F.L.' was about John Belushi, but I don't know if the band actually confirmed that or if it was just a rumor.

| It's based on Stephen King's "It" I think. | |

You're talking about 'Now It's Dark', right? Not 'N.F.L.'

Who in the "It" story acted like the way the lyrics described? | |

| It's written from the perspective of the clown/spider IIRC.
NFL was about John Belushi. | |

| Or better yet, we should re-create (or interpret) the intention behind songs that are written. I'll throw in some examples (all these are entirely fictional)
Conquer All by Behemoth (obviously this was written about Starcraft)
Hell Awaits by Slayer (meeting the in-laws)
Chemical Warfare by Slayer (a bad case of flatulence)
Hangar 18 by Megadeth (a chronicle of Dave's mysterious coat-hangars)
Blackened by Metallica (a song about Metallica's adventure to a sea-food restaurant, and how Kirk likes his fish)
And Then There Were None by Exodus (A song about snacks and munchies
, and how after Ballof ate the last one...and then there were none.)
Ravenlord by Stormwitch (obviously they are making fun of Edgar Allen Poe)
Twist of Cain by Danzig (not Cain the person as it's a typo, Danzig found a knarled staff and talks about how this twist of cane gave him a splinter) | |
