Broken, Beat & Scarred Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Aaron1986 

Cover art for Broken, Beat & Scarred lyrics by Metallica

This song is based around Friedrich Nietzsche's aphorism "What does not kill me, makes me stronger" from his 1888 book "Twilight Of The Idols"

It basicly means never giving up till you die....only death can stop you from reaching ur goals, everything else just makes you stronger and every adversity, hurdle, failure etc just makes you more determined to reach ur goal.
