The unnamed feeling is a feeling everyone has towards one thing or another. it could be love, it could be drugs, or alcohol. what matters is that you hate and despise it, but when you have it you love it more than anything. throughout the song he talks about how his life is broken by this unnamed feeling and how he wants nothing more to ease his pain or get rid of it. he even says how it kills him when it comes alive and it takes a part of him each time it does. but if you listen to the tone of his voice when the feeling comes alive, he LOVES it, but the part of him that despises it is also conscious inside himself exclaiming how the unnamed feeling "treats" him this way. both sides of him fight but the unnamed feeling always wins. I WAS HIGH AF AND LISTENED TO THIS SONG ON REPEAT. this song is one metallica's best songs because of its hidden meaning. you hate it but when you have it YOU LOVE IT.
