• Dan Gillespy. from Courtenay Bc.This is 1 very very super good and a very super cool Megadeth song and it is 1 of my favorite Megadeth songs.
• K3n from Princeton NjThis discussion itself highlights one of the great things about Megadeth and Mustaine.
  
  Whether he intends to or not, often the lyrics “beyond metaphor.” (Bob Dylan set that as a goal for himself.)
  
  Whatever Mustaine meant when writing the lyrics, you don’t have to know or care. In fact, why bother to write with metaphor if you want to be taken literally? So ... Interpret the metaphors however it works for you. You get something out of it—it worked!
• Jason from Ogden UtahGreetings. BBAM here. FYI that acronym is Big Bad Ass Megadethologist. The root meaning of the song Is, Being trapped in a web of lies and mistakes so bad if you come clean and hoest your dead, If you stay in the Lie and Deception your dead. The deception is a tornado, he is safe in the short term in the Eye of the Tornado. If you leave the eye you will be ripped apart, if you stay in the eye eventually the storm will rip you apart, Either way... Example, " I told the lies that let 1000 days go." But classic Dave the chance to start over is there, at the end he mentions a golden chance and seeing the light. Checkout the song Burn. Track 3 off Super Collider. Dave gives great advice, When you make mistakes, Burn them to the ground and move on. Be Safe... Jason the BBAM
• Greg from Calgary, AbFreedom, while your interpretation is interesting, Dave Mustaine did say that it is about a dysfunctional relationship.
  And the followup, Dawn Patrol, has nothing to do with Tornado of Souls.
• Travis from Charleston, WvI totally heard Dave say in an interview it's about a bad relationship. No lie I swear I heard that. Although your interpretation does make sense.
• Freedom from Chicopee, Mathis interpretation is totally wrong.
  its about the masses being brainwashed and believing u have freedom when u dont.
  that is my interpritation anyway.
  listen again and read the lyrics.
  also, being followed up with dawn patrol... listen and u will see the truth of this powerful song.
  
  LYRICS:
  
  This morning I made the call
  The one that ends it all
  Hanging up, I wanted to cry
  But dammit, this well's gone dry
  Not for the money, not for the fame
  Not for the power, just no more games
  
  But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado
  I can't replace the lies, that let a 1000 days go
  No more living trapped inside
  In her way I'll surely die
  In the eye of the tornado, blow me away
  
  You'll grow to loathe my name
  You'll hate me just the same
  You won't need your breath
  And soon you'll meet your death
  Not from the years, not from the use
  Not from the tears, just self abuse
  
  But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado
  I can't replace the lies, that let a 1000 days go
  No more living trapped inside
  In her way I'll surely die
  In the eye of the tornado, blow me away
  
  Who's to say, what's for me to say
  Who's to say, what's for me to be
  Who's to say, what's for me to do
  Cause a big nothing it'll be for me
  
  The land of opportunity
  The golden chance for me
  My future looks so bright
  Now I think I've seen the light
  
  Can't say what's on my mind
  Can't do what I really feel
  In this bed I made for me
  Is where I sleep, I really feel
  
  I warn you of the fate
  Proven true to late
  Your tongue twist perverse
  Come drink now of this curse
  And now I fill your brain
  I spin you round again
  My poison fills your head
  As I tuck you into bed
  You feel my fingertips
  You won't forget my lips
  You'll feel my cold breath
  It's the kiss of death
  
  THIS LAST PART IS THE MOST IMPORTANT.
  megadeth is one of the few who really have something to say, so listen up!!
• Eli from Wayne, WvLove this song's opening riff very catchy... Can hardly understand his voice in the beginning.
