Wherever I May Roam Lyrics
...And the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her I do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all I need
...And with dust in throat I crave
Only knowledge will I save
To the game you stay a slave
Rover, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will
But I’ll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And I’ll redefine anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home
...And the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars I’ve grown
By myself but not alone
I ask no one
...And my ties are severed clean
The less I have, the more I gain
Off the beaten path I reign
Rover, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will
But I’ll take my time anywhere
I’m free to speak my mind anywhere
And I’ll never mind anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home
But I’ll take my time anywhere
I’m free to speak my mind
And I’ll take my find anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home
Carved upon my stone
My body lie, but still I roam
Wherever I may roam
It's not about a nomadic life. It's about Metallica's touring.
My favorite metallica line: Carved upon my stone; My body lies but still I roam.
There's many reasons Metallica is the greatest heavy metal band of all time, and this aong is one of them. 'Nuff said.

Very good song despite its meaning? The song is completely good...
i think this song is partially about the band travelling on the road, but maybe they are saying like it feels like they've travelled ferever and even after they all die their ties to the human world travelling with their music, will still keep them roaming the earth while their music lives on in the human world. I dunno... maybe i looked to deep into the lyrics... oh well, this is the song that got me started listening to metallica and its one of my favorites
love the drums. this song is awesome times 90000
Re-discovered the Black Album the other day. This is by far one of Metallica's greatest songs.
its about metalica going everywere they can to escape "The Game" see line 9 (to The Game you stay a slave) PS you just lost the game

A loser believes in himself, takes pride in his power to express himself. takes no crap from anyone. not enslaved by the need to be socially accepted

@turquoise1 Not sure what you are implying but those lyrics mean that he values the truth, the truth that people live like slaves to the idea of how one should live their life I.e. work 9-5, make money, buy a big house, and look successful.

This song is about satan's fall from heaven. The bible talks about how it was satan's pride that got him cast down to roam the earth forever. It says he was stripped of all but pride, literally that's what happened. He was God's most powerful angel he was a cherub. Only God was higher. When it says "the earth is my throne" that's because God rules heaven, he gave satan the earth to rule. When it says "my ties are severed clean, the less i have the more I gain" it's talking about his ties to God and heaven and righteousness. Now the less he has tied to God the more he gains here on earth, again his pride and selfishness coming to light.

I am also a christian This song is great, lots of energy, lots of reality in their lyrics, grit, Metallica could be singing about touring, it could be about Death, it could be about a few things and means diff things to each person but this song is more about being free from the worlds system, ties to this worlds system, the rat race

As christians we should be free from this world, satan is the god of this world, Almighty God is God of all the earth, but the worlds system fashion, politics, finance, technology we can use...
As christians we should be free from this world, satan is the god of this world, Almighty God is God of all the earth, but the worlds system fashion, politics, finance, technology we can use but dont let it tie us down, Let God strip away everything in your life which isnt needed and you will find the less you have in this life the more you gain, you become rich is relationship with both God and your family, rich in love, rich in friendship, rich in creation around you, rich in mental health,
This world makes us become desensitized to the things around us, to our kids, to family to the birds and animals around us we should be hearing instead of a 65inch TV for background noise.
The more connected we are to the internet the less connected we are to each other Use Babylon but dont let it tie you down, be free in Christ
Remember Satan was not angel fallen from heaven, He was created being he was a Liar and a Murderer from the begining. King Nebuchadnezzar a type of antichrist was called Lucifer (light bearer) fallen. fallen from his glory
I think this song is about death. Figuratively speaking, Death is able to take its time, speak his mind because it has nothing to fear. It can redefine anywhere (wipe out a population). I think the line "anywhere I roam" is a nod to Satan in the book of Job. When Satan has to give an account before God of where he comes from, he replies "from travelling to and fro upon the earth". The phrase "to and fro" suggests leaving a path of destruction, something Death would do anywhere it roams.
