Hiding in any door way
And any shadow
Any place where danger
Waits to kill my time
There is one who loves and waits
To seal your fate
Im sure as you live and die
Live and die
Live and die

When you feel that something wrong
I'll shelter you and keep you warm
I'll never let you walk alone
I loved you when you still hated me
Im comin and it wont be long
Time to reap what I have sewn
Never ever let you walk alone
I know your enemy it once was me

Let me wrap my arms all around you
Suffer the trespasses that you made
I will drink your pain away
Forever and a day
If you just call out my name
If you just call
Call my name
If you just call
Felling desperate

When you feel that something wrong
I'll shelter you and keep you warm
I'll never let you walk alone
I loved you when you still hated me
Im comin and it wont be long
Time to reap what I have sewn
Never ever let you walk alone
I know your enemy it once was me

[Solo]

When you feel that something wrong
I'll shelter you and keep you warm
I'll never let you walk alone
I loved you when you still hated me
Im comin and it wont be long
Time to reap what I have sewn
Never ever let you walk alone
I know your enemy it once was me

When you feel that something wrong
I'll shelter you and keep you warm
I'll never let you walk alone
I loved you when you still hated me
Im comin and it wont be long
Time to reap what I have sewn
Never ever let you walk alone
I know your enemy it once was me

    As posted by Dave Mustaine on the Megadeth forums:

    i am damn proud of y'all for being so open about what you think the lyrics are about.

    ah, shoot, i am sure that there is some feelings towards the past, towards the band break up, towards the music business, towards the personal life, and an obvious inference towards my life-changing experience in 2002 . . .

    but mostly, it is just a promise song for all of us that at no time will there ever NOT be someone who loves you; whether its me and the boys, the other Droogs here, for some - God or god - for me JC - for others "higher power" - and for the rest something else or nothing at all.

    it is in a nutshell a love song that you will never be alone - and yes, i knew about the football team in england AND ireland!

    so now that we know its a love song - of course the she wolves can have it dedicated to them

    This song is about Mustaine's Religion. He was an atheist and know he is a christian so he write this song for god . I learned it in a interwiew.

    No one has commented on this song yet? It's possibly the best song of the new album (which is saying something)

    Not quite sure what it's about though

    Brilliant, Brilliant song. Lyrics are a bit wrong, here is it fixed up

    Hiding in any the door way And any shadow Any place where danger Waits to kill my time There is one who lies and waits To seal your fate As sure as you live and die Live and die Live and die

    When you feel that somethings wrong I'll shelter you and keep you warm I'll never let you walk alone I loved you when you still hated me Im comin and it wont be long Time to reap what I have sewn Never ever let you walk alone I know your enemy once was me

    Let me wrap my arms all around you Suffer the trespasses that you made I will drink your pain away Forever and a day If you just call out my name If you just call Call my name If you just call Or even whisper it

    When you feel that something wrong I'll shelter you and keep you warm I'll never let you walk alone I loved you when you still hated me Im comin and it wont be long Time to reap what I have sewn Never ever let you walk alone I know your enemy it once was me

    I just figured out what this song is about! Its gotta be about how dave feels about Ulrich/Hetfield. I watched this interview thing between Dave and Lars and it practically mirrors whats said in the interview. Anyone who is interested look it up on youtube, its a SKOM outtake i think .

    This song is about Dave's recent conversion back to Christianity.

    this song is my favorite track from the UA album.

    Here's my view about the song: The song is being sang by The Almighty talking to a man. Whether you're a good or bad person, God is here.

    You cannot escape. You love Him, He will love you. You ignore Him, you'll suffer the consequence. God is waiting for you to return to His reproof. But the lyrics ...I loved you when you still hated me means that even you hate God, you still enjoy God's creations around you as written in

    That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. Matthew 5:45

    You see? God Wants everyone to be saved. He's waiting for us to repent as it written in

    The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2Peter 3:9

    this was elaborately discussed here: josepherdon.blogspot.com/2007/08/never-walk-alone.html

    I can agree with the Dave and Lars interview, I just watched it and can see how you can get that. However, I can also agree with Dave's saying it's a love song. Possibly a couple that goes through a rough patch, by the chorus.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Album art
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Album art
Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
