Metropolis, the worlds collide,
Ain’t nobody could be on your side,
I don’t care,I don’t care

Metropolis is something new,
Ain’t nobody got their eye on you,
I don’t care,I don’t care

Metropolis, the worlds collide,
Ain’t nobody on the other side,
I don’t care, I’m not there.

The lyrics to Metropolis have both easy-to-spot meanings and hidden metaphors that have been discussed by the music press and fans, but only Motorhead and any collaborators know all of the inspirations for the song.

If you like etymology or breaking apart phrases and words, it is easy to understand the lyrics to Metropolis by Motorhead. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Metropolis" means the words set to the music of Metropolis, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Motorhead. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics.
