Shoot Me Again

thanks to drop2 for the lyrics

Basically put, this is from the point of view of either James himself or the entire band. Metallica, having not released an original cd in like 6 years, has put up with a lot of lip from everyone, even their own fans. I was turned into a skeptic myself. In retaliation, the song states that they are not backing off yet and that they are making a good effort, once again, to get back on top "i wont go away, right here i'll stay". Being "shot again" is metallica saying "bring that shit on", and "i bite my tongue, trying not to shoot back" is the final plea for everyone to shut the fuck up, for metallica will try to avoid sinking to the lowest depths of the angry critict. The last verse "wake the sleeping giant..." goes hand in hand with "I bit my tongue...", basically stating that they will let their hate and desire to fire back fade, or "sleep".

after reading wut u wrote and listening to the song again.. u sound pretty right man. so i started laughing while i hear it.. kinda cool. but hey i luv the song. very good. MetallicA 4ever

better than you, I agree totally. This is my favourite song on St. Anger, because of the meaning. I've been known to hang shit because of the whole Ja Rule thing, but damn these people screaming "sellouts!" are starting to piss me off big time.

The're tossers because they want money? Makes sense to me.

From what I gather you've gone out and paid for the album, yet you're calling the band a bunch of sell outs. Seems a tad hypocritical, yes?

Joey, works fine on my PC. That's weird, why would they be worried about MP3s, yet it works on almost everyone's PCs?

Fuck off.

hey joey... maybe your computer's fucked up, or maybe you just don't like metallica... but I don't think they're a bunch of sellouts... they're succesful, yeah, but what do u want them to be? Never to be known by the public? shit... you probly weren't born yet when they were an underground band. But I can say the same and I am saying the same. I heard of metallica when they were succesful and they made a shitload of money for their cd's. big fuckin deal. they're still a good band, they still made good music. I don't see anything wrong with their attitudes, either. Secondly, and lastly, I think this song is about a man who's not afraid to die.

This song Rocks my socks digidy d dog it the best Metallica song ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!mmkkay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and truthspeaker is right it is about a guy whos not afriad to die..................................................................................................................

Why shouldn't Metallica have a fucking computer game?!! Bring that shit on, it'll be fucking cool! They have the money (that I may remind you, they earned through sheer hard work) so why the hell not? Seems like a fun idea to me.

Anyway, this song is fucking hilarious. Not my favourite song to listen to, but one of my favourites to sing while drunk or in public. AWWW SHOOT ME!
