    Stevie you are a master at breaking down bars and lyrics. I’ve heard this song like 800 times and you broke it down better than I could in one listen. You’re in a class of your own among all the “reactors” in terms of getting in the artist’s mind space.

      “Screaming” such a bullshit stereotype!! It’s just only one thing in metal, and not everybody is doing it, and everybody doesn’t do it the same way, style, phrasing!! It’s just a small shit, yes, some sub-genres do it more than the others, but metal is a very wide genre with complex and creative composition and songwriting! You can see metal as the sum of all antitheses! Fast, and slow, heavy, and soft, melodic, and rhythmic, vocal fries, and clean vocals, operatic wide range voices, and gritty vocals!!

    This song described the first 40 years of my life and played a huge role in my music list. Took me moving almost 2000 miles away from my family to finally drop some of the rage and hatred I felt towards them. Raised by my psycho grandparents who beat me daily in the name of God, told I wasnt good enough for him so he turned his back on me. Told me my parents would die in prison (which is where they were) and it was my fault. Parents get out and its always my sister that is the favorite, I'd get laughed at to my face if I ever asked for anything, any sort of help at all. Left California a defeated broken man and moved to Kansas to start over. Finally pulling myself off the ground and finding happiness in life. I have learned forgiveness, but sadly not the ability to forget. This and R.E.M.'s Losing My Religion were huge for me growing up. (the grandfather that beat me daily in the name of God happened to be a pastor)

    You can literally apply the meaning of the lyrics to just about any aspect of life whether it about culture, religion politics, personal relationships. This is one of my favorite Metallica songs. And one of their better known and loved tracks.

    Yep, as soon as he was born (new blood joining the Earth) he was subdued into this way of life we're all stuck in. All of the special things inside of him, he never got to let out for everyone to see, so he never got to be himself as a young prince. When he becomes king, he's so bitter and regretful that he wasted his life trying to conform and fit the mold of others, that he just doesn't care anymore since he didn't get to live his personal truth. I think the "thee" he's referring to is society as a whole, or whatever obstacle is preventing people from being truly free. And because of that oppression, no matter how major or minor, they're forever unforgiven for holding us back. That's how I took it - and waaaaaay back in middle school, our literature teacher broke this down from her perspective (and she was a huge metal fan lol).

    It’s dope as fuck that you can “hear something” 100 times, but it isn’t until the day you actually “listen” or read the words as you listen to them to complete the thought process of what’s being said. It’s dope as fuck Stevie I agree. It’s been happening to me a lot lately

    Here's what ppl who think metallica is simpler than some of these "harder" metal bands are missing about their complexity and beauty in how they write:
    Take the 2nd verse, call to the time signature they are on, and the switch-ups therein. Instead of using end-of-the-line rhyming, there's a soft rhyme. "A tired man they see no longer caaares" then it's soft rhymed to a half-step on the next line "The old man then PREPARES to die regretfully, that old man here is me." They matched this to how they flow musically sometimes. There's countless times this happens in all their music but knowing how/when to describe it in a way others may understand, especially through text and not speech, is difficult.
    That audible "fitting" of how the song flows and peaks and valleys of just "what your ears tell you" is what makes metallica the best, they fit shit together in ways that just sounds awesome, but it's often hard to explain to those who don't just feel it. I saw a moment where I thought I might be able to catch it properly and verbalize it. I guess if you get it, you get it.

    Bro I grew up on this shit and it went over my head until I woke the fuck up! It came on the radio a week ago or something, and I caught it. Metallica can tell a story bro! He's breaking the cypher. The scapegoat breaking the curse on his blood line.

    One huge reason I love rock music, well especially some metal, like Metallica, Slayer, Amon amarth For examples is the lyrics, I would love to see you do Angel of death by slayer, or Twilight of the Thunder God by Amon amarth.

    This song really resonated with me in high school. I felt trapped under what my parents wanted, my teachers wanted... The one teacher that made me feel like I had a place was Mr. Graham. I owe Mr Graham so much
