That Was Just Your Life Lyrics

Like a siren in my head that always
Threatens to repeat
Like a blind man that is strapped into the speeding driver's seat
Like a face
That learns to speak
When all it knew was how to bite

Like a misery that keeps me focused
Though I've gone astray
Like an endless nightmare that
I must awaken from each day
Like conviction
A premonition
Not worthy of, so I deny...... I deny

I blind my eyes and try to force it all into place
I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace
I blind my eyes, I hide and feel it passing me by
I open just in time to say goodbye

Almost like your life
Almost like your endless fight
Curse the day is long
Realize you don't belong
Disconnect somehow
Never stop the bleeding now
Almost like your fight
And there it went,
Almost like your life

Like a wound that keeps on bleeding to remind me not to think
Like a raging river drowning when
I only need a drink
Like a poison
That I swallow
But I want the world to die

Like a release from prison
That I didn't know I was in
Like a fight to live the past I prayed
To leave
From way back then
Like a general
Without a mission
Until the war will start again...... start again

I blind my eyes and try to force it all into place
I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace
I blind my eyes,
I hide and feel it passing me by
I open just in time to say goodbye

Almost like your life
Almost like your endless fight
Curse the day is long
Realize you don't belong
Disconnect somehow
Never stop the bleeding now
Almost like your fight
And there it went,
Almost like your life

Like a touch from hell to feel how hot
That it can get if you get caught
Like a strike from heaven turns that key
And brings you straight down to your knees

Like a touch from hell to feel how hot
That it can get if I get caught
Like a strike from heaven to reprieve
That brings you straight down to your knees

Almost like your life
Almost like your endless fight
Curse the day is long
Realize you don't belong
Disconnect somehow
Never stop the bleeding now
Almost like your fight
And there it went,
Almost like your life
That was just your life

Metallica like the old days, shame they haven't got long hair like then.

it speaks about realizing the true importance of life after getting near to lose it or maybe after someone near to you dies or gets near to it.

It's most likely about Dave Mustaine. Not only is the name similar to one of Megadeth's songs, but the theme seems to have to do with Mustaine's feelings towards himself and Metallica.

Hmm, read the lyrics, look at the the song title (Megadeth: That was my life) , this song could very well be about Dave Mustaine.....

The Song was written about all the artist who have died to young like the lead singers of Alice in chains and nirvana. James was coming Close to that before hê went into rehab. He wrote the song in rehab and it almost ended up on St Anger. Glad it didnt.

ITS GOTTA DO SOMETHING WITH NEVER QUITTING OR GIVING UP,

"Cursed, the day is long, Realize you don't belong, Disconnect somehow, Never stop complaining now, Almost like your fight, And there it went, Almost like your life."

SAYING WHO GIVES A SHIT WHAT ANYONE SAYS, GET AWAY AND NEVER STOP! YOU DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO!!!

I THINK ITS GOTTA DO WITH THE "NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE" THEY CALL ST. ANGER. FOR SURE.
