Pull the Plug Lyrics
Memories is all that's left behind
As I lay and wait to die
Little do they know
That I hear their choice of life
End it now, it is the only way
Too cruel, that is what they say
Release me from this lonely world
There is no hope - why don't you
Pull the plug
Let me pass away
Pull the plug
Don't wanna live this way
Once I had full control of my life
I now behold a machine decides my fate
End it now it's all too late
What has now been days, it seems like years
To stay like this is what I fear
Life ends so fast, so take your chance
And make it last
End it now, it is the only way
Too cruel, that is what they say
Release me from this lonely world
There is no hope - why don't you
Pull the plug
Let me pass away
Pull the plug
Don't wanna live this way
As I lay and wait to die
Little do they know
That I hear their choice of life
Too cruel, that is what they say
Release me from this lonely world
There is no hope - why don't you
Let me pass away
Pull the plug
Don't wanna live this way
I now behold a machine decides my fate
End it now it's all too late
To stay like this is what I fear
Life ends so fast, so take your chance
And make it last
Too cruel, that is what they say
Release me from this lonely world
There is no hope - why don't you
Let me pass away
Pull the plug
Don't wanna live this way

I think it was about how Chuck saw someone he knew and couldn't stand seeing someone living on a machine, and the song title gave him inspiration to write the song. I sure as hell love this song and Chuck shouldn't have died...I guess we lose the greats early.
Yes this is the idea.. he can't take the life he has anymore so he preffers death. The interesnting point are the simmilities between PULL THE PLUG and ONE (METALLICA). It's basically the same idea:
Tied to machines that make me be Cut this life off from me
Cut this life = pull the plug = disable the machines (the medical equipment that was keeping him alive, in the ONE video, as he was in a hospital)
The song is about someone who is in excruciating pain who can't take the pain anymore and want to just die instead of the continue suffering. (pull the plug)
Good comparison. Simple and easy. You should not live hooked up to a machine.
It is to say that Death's singer Chuck Schuldiner (R.I.P.) had suffered from leukaemia and died in december 2001.
Wasn't it brain tumor? Well, I guess it's the same
It's about someone who is in a comatose or vegitative state and just wants to die.
It's a sad song, actually made my tear up a little once, but it rocks. It reminds me of "One" by Metallica lyrically. It's about how someone is suffering and they won't pull the plug.

I say DAMN THESE TYPOS!
