What is the meaning of the song NIB by Black Sabbath?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Nativity In Black.

It's not Nativity in Black, the name of the track was just a nickname (Geezer Butler thought Bill Ward's beard looked like a nib). There is no real meaning, they are singing from the point of view of the Devil. Perhaps saying that even evil has a heart? Personally I think they just thought it sounded good.

Why do people like Black Sabbath?

Asked by Wiki User

Because they are an outstanding band, with amazing riffs, melodies, basslines and overall tracks. They are the first heavy metal band, and were the heaviest in the world at the time - and they're still pretty heavy. They have an immensely talented guitarist and have had the best vocalists, bassists and drummers in the business. At the time, they were the darkest band around, and again even by today's standards they're fairly dark, although not in a deliberately antagonistic way. They embody the feelings of youth who feel their futures going down the drain with their doomy, sludgy sound and downbeat lyrics.

What are the lyrics to Black Sabbath's Parinoid?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The lyrics are as follows:

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind

People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time

All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy

Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me?

occupy my brain,

Oh yeah

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find

I can't see the things that make true happiness I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry

Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state

I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late

Jihad has the literal meaning of exerting our best and greatest effort to achieve something. It is not the equivalent of war, for which the Arabic word is qital. Jihad has a much wider connotation and embraces every kind of striving in God's cause. A mujahid is one who is sincerely devoted to his or her cause; who uses all physical, intellectual, and spiritual resources to serve it; who confront any power that stands in its way; and, when necessary, dies for this cause. Jihad in the way of God is our struggle to win God's good pleasure, to establish His religion's supremacy, and to make His Word prevail

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. Black Sabbath is NOT a Satanic or Anti-Christian band.

Here are some lyrics to the song 'After & Forever':

"Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is dead and gone

Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one

The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate

Or will you jeer at all you hear? Yes! I think it's too late."

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ozzy abused drugs and alcohol heavily around 1978-1979 and it was more the less what Tony wanted. So when Ozzy left the band started to fall apart as Bill Ward left and went as did Geezer Butler the same year, after a short period of time Geezer went with Ozzy on a few albums... good times.
