| Metallica – The Unnamed Feeling Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| The unnamed feeling is a feeling everyone has towards one thing or another. it could be love, it could be drugs, or alcohol. what matters is that you hate and despise it, but when you have it you love it more than anything. throughout the song he talks about how his life is broken by this unnamed feeling and how he wants nothing more to ease his pain or get rid of it. he even says how it kills him when it comes alive and it takes a part of him each time it does. but if you listen to the tone of his voice when the feeling comes alive, he LOVES it, but the part of him that despises it is also conscious inside himself exclaiming how the unnamed feeling "treats" him this way. both sides of him fight but the unnamed feeling always wins. I WAS HIGH AF AND LISTENED TO THIS SONG ON REPEAT. this song is one metallica's best songs because of its hidden meaning. you hate it but when you have it YOU LOVE IT. | |
| Metallica – The Unforgiven II Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
In my view and understanding of the song it is about a man who falls in love with a women who constantly betrays him every time he gives her a second chance. Every time he “turns the pages” he gives her another chance and starts over again with her. Also by “sick and tired I stand alone” he means that everyone around him is telling him that she is not right for him but he stands there alone giving her another chance. Another lyric in the song “what I’ve felt what I’ve known” describes how he has gone through heartbreak and the knowledge of what she had done and how she has wronged him. Through out the song it doesn’t seem very clear but it actually shows how he forgives her 3 - 4 times until finally condemning her as “unforgiven” after coming to his senses. You can pin point his own revelation of his situation with the lines”she lay beside me, but she’ll be there when I’m gone” this line is him realizing that she won’t fallow him no matter what he does and that she will always keep treating him like this. The part of the song “the door is closed so are your eyes, but now I see the sun” is him clearly saying that he is not going to let her back into his life, and because of that he realizes that the happiness he had looked for in her is now revealed to him because she is not in his life. But then again dispite his realization he rethinks on his choice and wants to forgive her again, but as he thinks back to what he’s “felt” and what he’s “known” about her he realizes that he can’t forgive her anymore so he buries the “key” to the supposed “door” with her memory. And thus declares her unforgiven. I was extremely stoned when listening to this song and I really understood every part of it, I got really emotional because I was going through the same exact thing that is described in the song. I’m not whatsoever stating that this is what the song is supposed to factually represent, I’m just giving my take on how I analyzed it to be. Hoped this cleared up any misconceptions ;) |
