My friends always tell me that I like the worst Metallica songs, but then again I have one that likes Sweet Amber... Anyway, this song is about reaching out to people to help you and about all the past mistakes and sins that you wish you could be rid of. I like this song and I think that's what it is about along with the cleansing of one's soul of all the stains. But so much in the religious sense. I don't see Metallica writing a song about Jesus. The turpentine and such words are to refer to their obvious cleaning capabilites, and I have often said, after seeing something I rather I didn't, that I wish I had turpentine to pour in my eyes to clean them.
