Discover the story of the song > Enter Sandman – Motörhead

The song is about a person (he) who sings a lullaby to a child, telling them to pray before they sleep. However, the protagonist starts having scary thoughts and nightmares about war, lies, fire, and beasts. He advises the child to ignore the noises and not be afraid because they are just imaginary. The chorus talks about leaving the real world and going to a place called "never-land" with the help of the sandman.
