The Thing That Should Not Be

A heavily underappreciated yet kick-ass song by Metallica. Written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, and Kirk Hammet, it's track three of eight on there album, "Master of Puppets".
Messenger of fear in sight
Dark deception kills the light

Hybrid children watch the sea
Pray for father, roaming free

Fearless wretch
Insanity
He watches
Lurking beneath the sea
Great old one
Forbidden site
He searches
Hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
In madness you dwell

Crawling chaos underground
Cult has summoned twisted sound

Out from ruins once possessed
Fallen city, living death

Fearless wretch
Insanity
He watches
Lurking beneath the sea
Timeless sleep
Has been upset
He awakens
Hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
In madness you dwell
In madness you dwell

Not dead which eternal lie
Stranger eons, death may die

Drain you of your sanity
Face the thing that should not be

Fearless wretch
Insanity
He watches
Lurking beneath the sea
Great old one
Forbidden site
He searches
Hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
In madness you dwell

A phrase often used by members of the Fall Out Boy fandom. The phrase originated from Buzzfeed Celeb's Youtube video titled "Fall Out Boy Plays With Puppies (While Answering Fan Questions)" at the time of 3:35-3:37 released on May 24, 2017.

This Youtube video consists of Fall Out Boy's bassist/songwriter, Pete Wentz and lead singer, Patrick Stump pulling questions out of a bowl and answering them, all whilst playing with puppies.
(Question: What songs will be on your tour set list?)
Pete: I'm gonna be gravely honest. . .
Patrick: Not in front of the puppies, Pete!

The only matter I do not take seriously, BOY, is you.

An insane quote by Thanos to Ronan.
Ronan: "I only ask that you take this matter seriously."

Thanos: "The only matter I do not take seriously, BOY, is you. Your politics bore me! Your demeanor is that of a pouting child. And apparently you alienated my favorite daughter, Gamora. I shall honor our agreement, Kree, if you bring me the Orb. But return to me again empty handed and I will bathe the star-ways with your blood."
