I believe this song has it very clear in the lyrics... It's like, someone does what he/she likes and goes out to do it as best they can, and in their own way... and then get side-tracked following money (light of golden treasure) and then the frustration of facing his/her own mistakes and not having anyone else to blame but themselves...
The first unforgiven was the one unforgiven by society.
The second unforgiven was the one unforgiven by his/her mate.
This, the ultimate unforgiven, is the self-unforgiven... The one who can't forgive himself for what he's done...
So far Metallica are impressing me with a different sound than they had so far, and i have no oppinion formed. One thing I am tired of hearing is: Better than St Anger.
St Anger IS, musically, not as good as what metallica had us used to, but it must be heard in context. St. Anger is a public vent of all the poison in Metallica. You just watch the documentary (Some kind of monster) to understand that... The sound comes out crude and raw and unrefined just like a feeling. Just like a spontaneous punch.
At least that's my oppinion. And in that context, the whole album fits like a glove.
yes thanks you for posting that. St. Anger wasnt even that bad anyway, its just a completely different sound. I really like the song the unnamed feeling, and i like frantic a lot too.If they didnt make that album, i dont think they could have gone anywhere, they were returning from rehab and their Load/reload phase.

Hey man,, I got Saint anger the moment it was sold at my local department store.. I was the first person in my town to buy it. It was the most looked forward to musical event in my life since g'n'r out out lies.. I was amazed.. unnamed feeling is boss.. st anger rocks hard to the balls.. and almost everything else on there made me cry it was so beautiful.. a breath of fresh air after the years of choking on people who cant write or rock.
and now that this masterpiece is out there I hope metalllica gracefully...

@leethal I don't agree with your interpretation of the metaphors; I've always considered this song to be James singing about himself pre-rehab, and considered light of golden treasure as beer. Makes sense to me. But english is not my first language.

@leethal That's exactly what I though after having watched to the documentary. Thank you for your nice comment.

@leethal I totally agree with your interpretation of these (unforgiven) songs!
