    Life it seems, will fade away
    Drifting further every day
    Getting lost within myself
    Nothing matters no one else
    I have lost the will to live
    Simply nothing more to give
    There is nothing more for me
    Need the end to set me free
    Things not what they used to be
    Missing one inside of me
    Deathly lost, this Can t be real
    Cannot stand this hell I feel
    Emptiness is filling me
    To the point of agony
    Growing darkness taking dawn
    I was me, but now he 's gone
    No one but me can save myself, but it's too late
    Now, I can't think, think why I should even try
    Yesterday seems as though it never existed
    Death Greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye

      1972 here, I just turned 50 this March....... This song takes me all the way back to memories of winter 1984 in 7th grade, small town western Illinois...12/13 yrs old, I'd tag along with my older brother & his friends. I remember riding around in the back seat of my brothers friends 1970's Plymouth Scamp, aimlessly cruising down snow covered winter country roads with this song cranked up on the radio. We'd go "bumper skiing" = find a snow packed covered country road and hang onto the rear bumper while being pulled at 50 mph. Somehow no one got injured, that was our way of dealing with being broke & bored to death, stuck in a small Illinois town.

He was an old school hippy, loved his rock n roll and the day before he died I put my headphones one in his ear and one in mine and we listened to this song, he couldnt talk anymore at this point, and tears ran down his cheecks. A moment engraned in my soul. Last song he ever listened to! Miss you dadddy!! Rock the fuck on Always

    This was the song my brother killed himself too when I was only 3 years old. I listen to this because somehow it makes me feel connected to him, like he's talking to me telling what he was going through, I hate listening to it, but something keeps pulling me to it, I cant stop listening to it sometimes. It just feels like he is speaking to me through the lyrics. Please, if you are listening to this song wanting to end it all. Please believe that it is not worth it. Its been almost 15 years and it haunts my entire family and even me at 18. Please be strong, live on to hear this badass guitar solo again, or to feel the joy of your favorite song. It is never worth it and there is always a better day waiting for you.

    It’s really sad how many people can relate to this song. And it often goes untouched until it’s too late. Guys, please, if you know someone who has suicidal thoughts, tell someone you know the person can trust. Help them find help. And if you’re feeling this way, understand that you’re not alone, and others feel the same way you do. Regardless of how lonely you feel, there’s always going to be someone you can talk to. Everyone here in the comments care about you and want to help you. You’re special in you’re own way, and I mean it. Don’t give up.

    This song was a huge wake up call to me. I was and still am struggling with manic depression and I mentally break down infront of my girlfriend telling her how I just wish the pain would go away. I considered suicide until I started realizing that that not only am I too young but I have so much talent that I would be wasting, It’s hard but I manage to pull through and that is what my friends have told me makes me one of the strongest people they have met. All my life has been pain and suffering because I was always the child the family never wanted. But now I have a purpose in like and that’s to shred peoples faces off with metal

    Life, it seems, will fade away
    Drifting further, every day

    Nothing matters, no one else
    I have lost the will to live
    Simply nothing more to give
    There is nothing more for me
    Need the end to set me free
    Things not what they used to be
    Missing one inside of me
    Deathly loss, this can't be real
    I cannot stand this hell I feel
    Emptiness is filling me
    To the point of agony
    Growing darkness, taking dawn
    I was me, but now he's gone
    No one but me
    Can save myself
    But it's too late
    Now I can't think
    Think why I should even try
    Yesterday seems as though
    It never existed
    Death greets me warm
    Now I will just say goodbye
    Bye...

    I like how not just the lyrics tell a story, but the music also, here's how I interpret the meaning behind the different parts of the ballad:
    0:00 - 2:00 Just pure sadness
    2:00 - 2:35 The character in the song getting angry at themselves
    2:35 - 3:25 More sadness and feeling helpless
    3:25 - 3:55 Again, getting angry
    3:55 - 5:05 Starting to not want to live anymore and wanting to just give up, thinking they are worthless
    5:05 - 7:00 The last moments of life, floods of memories and pure sadness. I see this part as the person finally ending their life

      I'm not sure. I think you are messing up medical depressions which have a high likelihood of killing you eventually and a normal phase of being sad.

But as I said, I'm not sure.

    You know? The first time I listened to this song was on my way to school, which, right now, is the only thing making me miserable. And yes, I have laid in bed just listening to this song on some low moments, but now, that will change.
    Today I have decided that this will be some sort of anthem for me to keep going. That final solo is some of the most inspiring things I have the honor of listening to, and it makes me want to keep going, despite its meaning.
    To anyone struggling: Don't worry. You have managed to get out of similar situations, you'll manage to get out of this one too. You got this.

    Some of these lyrics hit way too hard. As someone with depression, I can directly relate to this song. I honsetly feel sorry for James that je ever had to feel like this. This song has been a reminder that I'm not alone. Thank you, Metallica.
    Please reach out for help if you need it. Reaching out isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strenght.

    [Verse 1]
    Life, it seems, will fade away
    Drifting further every day
    Getting lost within myself
    Nothing matters, no one else
    I have lost the will to live
    Simply nothing more to give
    There is nothing more for me
    Need the end to set me free
    [Verse 2]
    Things not what they used to be
    Missing one inside of me
    Deathly loss, this can't be real
    Cannot stand this hell I feel
    Emptiness is filling me
    To the point of agony
    Growing darkness taking dawn
    I was me, but now he's gone
    [Bridge]
    No one but me can save myself, but it's too late
    Now I can't think... think why I should even try
    Yesterday seems as though it never existed
    Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye
    Goodbye...

    Now that I have love to give
    There is much in store for me
    New beginning sets me free
    Things not what they used to be
    Healing deep inside of me
    Gaining life, this must be real
    Can’t believe this hope I feel
    Emptiness now filled in me
    Reaching new vitality
    Fleeting darkness, bringing dawn
    I was me, but he was wrong
    No one but me
    Can save myself

She used to play music like this from her iPod, and a few songs would always come up consistently, this being one, and another being fuel's Hemorrhage, among many others. I can barely listen to any of these songs now without bawling my eyes out. Its funny how the lyrics fit perfectly with how I feel now. Mind you, I'm still in high school. Please, don't even take your mother for granted. You don't even have a idea of what you have, until it's gone. May you rest in peace up in heaven, I will always love you.

My step father loves Metallica, so he told me to listen to One and try them out. I listen to One, liked it, then to The Unforgiven, and even liked it more, and then Fade to Black. I remember lying in bed all alone with my headphones, it was 1-2 AM.... looked to the ceiling and listened to the melody carefully... I'm not a crying girl, but it was the first time when I started crying even before James started singing... The melody already told the story of the song, and that strong intuitoin made me cry...

I found this song by accident while listening to my Rock playlist, it came on autoplay. I was hooked by acoustic guitar, and I found that the lyrics touched me more than I thought they would. I never cried because of this song, or any song, I'm just not an emotional person. But I felt like it touched this itch inside of me that no other song would.

    I'm here in Syria - Aleppo and you all know the massive earthquake we had and i only see that this song suits well to our situation here it's so cruel here that massive destruction and number of the fatalities
    Aleppo is fading to black...
