| Metallica – Until It Sleeps Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| This song is absolutely brilliant. The lyrics are appropriately generic enough so that different people see distinct, oftentimes deeply personal, meanings in it; it depicts a person in a incredibly fragile position, suffering from an unamed evil, bellowing that he/she will do something nasty about it but incapable of escaping a terrible ordeal (which is also something quite different from the usual output of Metallica). This is the rock'n'roll equivalent to the Book of Job, or the final moments of Christ on the cross (... "So tell me why you've chosen me"). I keep coming back to it on difficult times. | |
