Eye of the Beholder Lyrics
Do you see what I see?
Truth is an offence
Your silence for your confidence
Do you hear what I hear?
Doors are slamming shut
Limit your imagination, keep you where they must
Do you feel what I feel?
Bittering distress
Who decides what you express?
Do you take what I take?
Endurance is the word
Moving back instead of forward seems to me absurd
Doesn’t matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it’s done just how I say
Independence limited
Freedom of choice
Choice is made for you, my friend
Freedom of speech
Speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exception
Do you fear what I fear?
Living properly
Truths to you are lies to me
Do you choose what I choose?
More alternatives
Energy derives from both the plus and negative
Do you need what I need?
Boundaries overthrown
Look inside, to each his own
Do you trust what I trust?
Me, myself and I
Penetrate the smoke screen, I see through the selfish lie
Doesn’t matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it’s done just how I say
Independence limited
Freedom of choice
Choice is made for you, my friend
Freedom of speech
Speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exception
Do you know what I know?
Your money and your wealth
Your silence just to hear yourself
Do you want what I want?
Desire not a thing
I hunger after independence, lengthen freedom’s ring
Doesn’t matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it’s done just how I say
Independence limited
Freedom of choice
Choice is made for you, my friend
Freedom of speech
Speech is words that they will bend
Freedom no longer frees you
Doesn’t matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it’s done just how I say
This song questions the so-called rights and freedoms that we supposedly have.

He's the fucking bomb!!
He's the fucking bomb!!
This song is 24 years old, and the lyrics make more sence now than ever before!
Geniously written lyrics!!
It was written by someone that knew 'gods' plan. (Not seen the future, he knew 'god' personally... Most rock n roll songs are related to this exact meaning.).... The exception to our freedom is not being able to make our own choices (especially those regarding our private parts.)

It's about how today's goverment is hypocritical about the bill of rights and constitution.
The great thing about most of Metallica's songs is that they're open to different interpretations :)
This song has to do with censorship & the media.
1984
I think this song is about how people feel like they are being controlled by the government and they make it seem as if it's their own choice, whereas in reality it's all a big manipulation to get the country into whatever pile of shit they want, and blame the bad things on the wants of the people, not themselves.
Actually it's about the lack of freedom in the law and the justice system.
King nothing is on the right track...for everyones info this entire album is based on the justice system..hence the name ...And justice for all The song is about freedom and it is only as true as you perceive it. It protests against the restricted limit of freedom by the law.
