Frantic
The first track of heavy metal band Metallica's eighth studio album, "St. Anger". The song's lyrics deal with personal struggle and addiction, as well as the Buddhist principle of dukkha.This song is particularly notable for its chorus, in which singer James Hetfield growls the word "Frantic", followed by repeating the syllable "tic" six times per line, finishing with the utterance of "
tock", mimicking the sound of a
ticking clock.This chorus has been recognized by online communities for its repetitiveness, and has been the subject of several edited videos in which Hetfield repeats the "tic" syllable indefinitely, similar to "the best," a meme built off of "Best of You" by
the Foo Fighters. This is unofficially known as the "Frantic Roll."

verb, frantically running around like a chicken with its head cut off for no good reason. Creating
a sense of urgency when there is nothing to be
urgent about. This action usually causes stress to everyone in the near
vicinity who was initially feeling calm.
Example:
My boss is always franticizing about some
deadline or another.
We still had 3 weeks until the party, yet
Margie would not stop franticizing about the small
last minute details.

A way of
explaining how tough someone does something. Like if someone was frantically running down
the stairs, they're making a lot of noise in the process and maybe
stamping their feet. It means someone is doing something angrily
