Ride The Lighting is a Concept Album about dying.
Since the album's lyrics are often about something you can die of (e.g, nukes, electric chairs, wars). The problem is, it's on every song on the album, so why not go through track by track?- Fight Fire With Fire is about dying by nuclear war;
- The title track is about dying on a electric chair;
- For Whom The Bell Tolls is about dying by war;
- Fade To Black is about dying by suicide;
- Trapped Under Ice is about freezing to death;
- Escape is about dying by being careless (or by society);
- Creeping Death is about dying by one of the Ten Plagues;
- and The Call of Ktulu is about dying by Cthulhu.
