LYRICS
Hanging by a thread as I play dead
Hanging by a thread and my mind is code red
Cut and run, try to hide, get away,
Shut my eyes, just to hide from the fate
Cut and run, try to hide, get away,
Cover up, get shelter from the hate
Demonized, liquified, tranquilized,
Prophesied, just to hide from life
Night and day, led astray, in decay,
Come what may, not to face that fight
Seething
Breathing
Nightmares grow
On I run
Still my shadows follow
Never can I stop cause they hunt me
Never can I stop cause the beast is hungry
Like a wolf on the hunt stalking prey
Closing in, no it won’t let me be
Like a wolf on the hunt stalks a prey
Any cost, fulfill a destiny
Seething
Fast breathing
Nightmares grow
On I run
Still my shadows follow
On I run
But still my shadows follow
Cut and run, hide away from fate
Cover up, try to hide the hate
Like a wolf, it won’t let me be
Closing in, wish away, shut my eyes
Wish it away
Seething
Fast breathing
Nightmares grow
On I run
Still my shadows follow
Facing
My demons
Now I know
If I run
Still my shadows follow
I say NO!
Still my shadows follow

#metallica #ShadowsFollow #72Seasons
I'm the director and animator for this project and "Room of Mirrors" I HOPE EVERYONE LOVES THIS! THANK YOU TO METALLICA FOR LETTING ME CREATE THIS! GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME 🤘🤘
Great videos man!
The Room Of Mirrors video was awesome
you rocks!
Very well done!..powerful in fact!
Animetallica goes hard 🤘🔥
Dude thank you, these videos add so much to these songs!
The music video is fitting considering there was a total eclipse today where I live (Ohio, U.S.)
Right next to my state that saw it too (michigan
We didn't see shit in Cali. Wish I stayed home in Texas. Built so much hype on the eclipse and this video
Lars proving 100% why he's the drummer for Metallica....a TRUE rock drummer doing the song justice....bravo
Exactly Lars did fucking good on this album
Shadows Follow was a stand out on this album. Great chorus.
and heavy ass riffs too. really great stuff!
Yes! I was thinking the same thing. I’ve had my fingers crossed they w would release a music video for it too! 🤘
Definitely agree my favorite of 72 Seasons.
hahha this is garbage
The song Is trash
We didnt just get new Metallica album, we got a Metallica week or so and Im so goddamn in. This feels like being on a holiday where everything is new Metallica related. Im more than happy with the new album. What a blessing having Metallica back and going this strong.
Hell yeah bro
Absolutely amazing album how is James Hetfield voice sound from the 90’s though
Ive been Listening to Metallica for about a Month straight, ( Fan since 1987 ) Not new to them.
I do like the CD so far way too many videos for it. But it's Good & ill be doing a Review for it Tomorrow.
You serious bro?Metallica stopped being Metallica after the justice album and tour,period...listen to lamb of god or testament,overkill, Sepultura all just put out real hardcore albums..this crap is nothing more than a yuppies hard rock band!!maybe I'm spoiled because I've seen Metallica when dave and cliff were still in the band.first four albums were masterpieces and the bibles of thrash but they stopped being a thrash band and deserted their old school original fans .
@Dagony73 stop being whinning "grown" man 🤦♂️
Metallica never was just about trash deal with it. And there's still trash song along their carrier but people like you just love to act like dumb "purists" how sad 😂
This sounds like proper old school Metallica and I fucking love it!
I love Robert, I honestly credit him for helping save Metallica after their lowest point in their career during the St. Anger era (I loved St. Anger btw). I think Rob helping encourage them to return to their roots from Death Magnetic forward, I remember hearing that he's responsible for Metallica playing songs live that they haven't played in years like "Call Of Cthulu". Rob is just a down to earth dude, such a loveable personality and he's a freaking beast on the bass! My love for Metallica will never die!
Yeah, Rob knows his stuff! He said he wanted to play Disposable Heroes more. He has good taste.
yes I agree, but it's Ktulu*
100% agreed. I cannot get over the solo on spit out the bone, he is awesome.
Agreed.
He also instigated the band to start writing new material which resulted in the new album. Rob is a dude.
I got chills when that chorus hit. Man I love Metallica
Meh
That's what I said to your mum last night
@@TheDistruptor ok
Maccaroni or Metallica
@@dasistthomsen9 metallica! Both are great though😂
Been listening since puppets. I’m 52 now. Seen them live on every tour since 86. This album is an absolute monster. It’s perfection. Well done gentleman. This might be my favorite song. I can absolutely see them playing this live with 20,000 people, banging their head in unison.
Thank you!
same rough age and no its not even close to master its not even close. come on man
@@thedude-jb7wx I agree; it's a fantastic ROCK album just not a fantastic thrash album. Those days are gone. I'm 53 and have seen the early days. Master of Puppets is my all time favorite album and therefore nothing can ever beat it - even an album created by the masters themselves. James H is an older, wiser man with kids. It changes people and their music is different because of that. I appreciate their current music for what it is and added it to my collection, but I know that their best musical days are behind them. That's kind of what this song is about to me and James' own struggles over the years to almost striving to perfect the music. He can't get faster, and he doesn't want to be judged by others into always providing top-notch experimental music 100% of the time and be set up for failure. Instead he focuses on his lyrics and the riffs are just there to bring us along on a journey. That's how I look at their post Black albums like Load, etc.. I would LOVe to see another PUPPETS album but it's just not going to happen.
@@mixelplik ITS METAL they were thrash before Master. Rock???whatever plexidixs :)
C’mon dude, c’mon 😭 such a tired take. Then just listen to Puppets and be happy. Quit whining.
@@thedude-jb7wx Not even in the same universe as Master.
One of the best songs on the album. Shocked more people aren't talking about it!
Agreed. Absolute headbanger.
Yes!!! Best song from album! Absolute banger! I am surprised too that to be a metallica fan and not mention this song. Riffs are soooo cool. Can’t stop listening over and over! 🤘🤘🤘
Everyone jerking off about Inamorata meanwhile the elite play this banger since the release
They all sound the same
@@zver09 It’s just crazy and funny to me how this song is somebody’s favorite song and that song and that song and that song is somebody’s favorite song on every video I see 🤣 this album is completely full of gems! Fantastic stuff here! Metallica really nailed it with this release!
This song stands out as the best on this album..pure Metallica 🤘🏻
I put my hamster in a sock and slammed it against the furniture.
@@TippyHippy I hope that's not true haha
I must burn!
@@TippyHippy lol poor "harvey the wonder hamster"
@@TippyHippyi put my headphones at the bug. Guess what those bug head banging.
The more I listen to this album the more I love it. The harmonies, production and kick ass riffs make it legendary
Same here!
Yeah the riffs are KILLER !!
@BertramWezenberg-jz5xt 😊😊😊p😊😊😊lo ñ ok lo ñ😊ñ0😅
me too!
72 like! 🤘
Congratulations to Metallica's 72 Seasons entering at #2 on the Billboard 200, #1 on the hard rock charts, and at #1 in the UK.
Yep. So it should be written. So it should be done.
@@tomowenpianochannelI'm sent here by the chosen one
So it should be written
So it should be done

I'm creeping death
(I had to finish it)
@@The_Great_Letter_Elet it be*
For me the vocals in this song are probably the best in whole album
Room of Mirrors lyrics are my fav but this song is a close second
Only vocal? What about riffs? Riffs are so sick. Real banger! 🤘
Yes, punk rock gruffness--been missing that grit since the 1980s.
Soooo many good vocal moments on this album!
METALLICA FOREVER❤❤❤
One of the best songs on the new album!!
If that is true....omg
Definitely my favourite song on the album. James sounds simply incredible, and that main riff is stomping 🤘
I love this song! What a riffs! 🤘
Fucking awesome
Saw them last night in Foxboro with my daughter. The show was truly awesome. She treated me to this wonderful birthday gift of which bought the tickets a year in advance. What a great daughter!
Was there too! Going tomorrow also
@@jasonhargreaves8338 So is my daughter
I'm so jealous!! Have a brilliant time
I'm a 31yo Millennial and Death Magnetic was the first Metallica album I ever purchased. Most of us younger people accept newer Metallica for what it is (there are some metal elitist cringelords tho), instead of "what it should be" according to people who only want replicas of the first 4 albums.
Most of the criticism is coming from older people like Gen X who grew up when Metallica was getting their start, there seems to be a generational divide here (of course there are exceptions tho).
72 Seasons is a fantastic album imo, I think it tops Death Magnetic and Hardwired, and that's saying a lot because I freaking love those albums!!! I'm in love with this album, James is on fiiiiiiyyyyrrrree on this album 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thank you for that well thought out comment. I'll go one step further. I think this new album is the best album since 1988. If it's Thrash Metal you're using as the yardstick of measurement for the quality of their music...
The riff sounds like here comes revenge but different enough to be it's own. What a song! These guys never age, stringer than ever. 🤟
Yeah and the intro sounds straight out of AJFA which is good.
@@HeavyRaiden More AJFA stuff on this album.🤘
Ok Lars
I also hear Whiplash
Somehow the intro reminded me of Holier Than Thou, don’t know why. Grew to like this song even though didn’t like it at first
3:39 that riff changes... Damn!!! very powerful punchy riff🤘
💯 Agree. It’s awesome 💪💪
🤘🤘 All I have to say.
This one will go down in history, learnt to appreciate every album.. they are and always be the best in business
this is just heavy as f*ck, perfect workout music
Another banger from the Yellow album!!! Fu*k yeah!!!
“ the yellow album “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣 yesss
NEW YELLOW ALBUM IS NEW BLACK ALBUM COLOR
It’s 72 seasons album.
I definitely feel like this is the best work Metallica has done in a long time. I'm a fan of all Metallica. Even St. Anger. I loved Hardwired and Death Magnetic. But this really has a sound almost like old school Metallica.
😂❤whd
This song is a standout on the album
Yeah, I agree. St anger is really under appreciated.
I skipped those, I just remember them trying to change and with the Napster B S. Now they are back. I still would go back and listen after all my 7 ur old neighbor had the justice for all album when I was like 11. And I thought it was amazing and still do.
@@jonmo2694 You do know Napster stuff was really all about pretty much what so many of us regular people see for free on the internet whether it's RUclips or Pandora or some other method for free. The fight was against the US government and the basic royalty rights. As the artists making the music they should be entitled to all the royalties and stuff but places on the net that pretty much offer stuff for free like Napster where the whole idea pretty much started kind of pissed off a lot of music artists. I guess Metallica was the band that decided to stand up for everyone else.
This one is already a classic!
me blasting this during the total eclipse 💀
💀😂💀🤣💀
🤘🤘
I was singing that during the solar eclipse
Best song in the album imo, i really enjoyed it 🤘🏻🤘🏻
This is one of the best Metallica songs in a long while. A metal musical masterpiece.
No doubt. Best song in the album.
No
Too far gone
Absolutely
I agree
I’m the head director and animator for this project. I’d just like to say thanks to Metallica and all the fans for helping me create this. Best band ever.
My top 3 metallica albums. Has been played this album now 48h in row.
No other band has instrumentals like them! So badass!!!
I like that main riff.
The vocal melody and harmonies of the chorus are cool too.
My fav song on this album 🤘
Pure shot of energy
Bruh.... 2:55, breakdown Is frigging sick. One of the best I've heard of in a song.
This album is so amazing it brings a tear to my eyes! Been listening to this album NON STOP since it got released! It just gets better and better every day!
Absolutely! Makes me pick up my guitar and want to play along! Metallica was the reason I learned to play guitar! I'm 45 years old and been playing since I was 13 years old. The riffs just sound great and sound fun to play. That's the best part about Metallica's songs, there just so fun to play. My favorite band to play covers of! When I was in my teens, my favorite thing to do was to find in my room and jam out Metallica on my guitar!
@@ryanhoffman5477 I am 41 myself, and this album is the first time since ReLoad that I have been moved by a Metallica album in such a massive way! This is the album I have been waiting for for over 2 decades! It is now one of my absolute favorite Metallica albums. This album reignited the flame in me I felt back when I first heard them! Metallica was the main reason I started to play guitar as well!!!
for me is the worst metallica album so far...pain on my ears....cant even compared to hardwired album ( i dont even mention classic old albums)
Me too me too I love it
@@alucardgreeceCan't compare to the hardwired album or any other because it isn't. Bands have every right to not rehash anything they've done. Especially a band that's been around for 42 years. Pain in your ears? Don't listen to it. Just sayin'.
🤔🤗
After listening the album a few times, I can tell that this song is an absolute masterpiece. Riffs, lyric, solo, the bass, drum fills, everything. This is for me the best and more complete song of one of the best album in this last recent years. Amazing!
I'd say, great music ! I wish the video had a story though, since it's animated anyway, like Megadeth's "Dystopia".
Agree 100% this is a top 5 song for me in their entire catalogue.
This riff is baller
This album has some of the best production of any of their albums! You can clearly hear Rob's bass and easily pick out whichever instrument you want to hear! Great job Metallica, Greg Fidelman, and everyone else for doing such a great job!
Drums are not sounding too well in this album.
Early Metallica guitar tones were so much better!
You gotta be kidding me. Guitar tone is too thin, bass is not very audible and drums are too loud, hi-hat sounds awful.
@@pressman1788 Time to move on man. It's not the early 80s anymore
@@offspringfan89 Idk what you are listening to this album with, but it sounds pretty damn good to me when I play it through my EVGA Nu Audio card and use either my good desktop speaker setup or my headphones
Been a metallica fan since the 80s. So happy they are still producing amazing songs like this. I can see this song going down as one of their best; right along with greats such as harvester of sorrow, shortest straw, fade to black, sad but true, the memory remains, seek and destroy, ect ect(the list is endless). But nothing is better than metallica live. Keep rocking them out, I'll keep listening.
Well said bloke Metallica rock's the hardest seen them acouple of times.KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK LADS
Such an epic chugging riff!
One of my favorite Metallica albums ever!!! Excellent job on this video!!!
HAIL to the greatest band o all time! 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
My favorite song on the new album so far
I may just buy this. This song is all sorts of good.
Tribal riff and tempo. Amazing second song after 72s has wonderful flowing and runs fast. One of the best of this album. Easily could be inside black album .
I love 72 seasons each time I listen to it I like it more and more
Great comment from you James, happy hump day to you
@@KimCarlos-wh2us thanks happy hump day to you also
@@jamesgreen5371 my pleasure meeting you, what are you up to??
this song kicks ass on every possible level
I've been listening to the new album on repeat for 2 months now and can confirm that this is definitely my favourite song from the album.
This whole album rocks!! Metallica still rules the Universe 🤘🤘
I'm like...this is my favorite song on the album....oh wait no this song is...oh wait.......love love love all of it ❤❤
Exactly! Its hard to pick a favourite one. They are all outstanding
One of the best.
It's a shot of coffee intrvenisualy
This is the best and my favorite song in this album💯🤘🤘🤘💀💀
Can't get enough of this album. Its either been playing, or playing in my head non stop since it was released. Masterpiece
Same

Every track on this album is amazing!!
Album has grown on me in last 2days

@@BRIANDER100 Every song on the album is great. You just have bad taste.
@@BRIANDER100 *Inamorata has entered the chat*
Oddly, James vocal is getting better and better in his old age.
This is a banger track, and proof that Metallica still got it!
❤BEST FUCKIN BAND OF ALL TIME ⌚ 🎸
Justice album sweet sounding here n there .Awesome. Go Metallica! ❤
Amazing experience through the song! Really Metallica, really amazing!
Jame's voice is top notch, I want to learn it on my guitar now 🤘
Heaviest song on the album and thus best song on the album.
Не факт!😮
Yep
heavy doesn't equate to better
Amazing
i agree
This album is really, really good. Everyone sounds great. Can't ask for any better.
This is like the 20th time I've listened to this song at least. Jesus! Its so heavy.
Long live Metallica. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🔥🔥🤘🏽🤘🏽
It's a good thing you're Brazilian and not American -- we have a Jack Texeira, formerly of the Massachusetts Air National Guard that committed treason of the highest calibre. I'd hate to be related to that idiot, his life is officially over.
this better be a staple in their live performances. I think its one of the best songs they've ever made. The vocals in this alone make it gold tier. Master class by the tallica boys
I think this one was one of the hardest to play and Rob had to cheat a little with a pick in one of the practices and got called for it 😂 because he got hand cramps and had to stretch and do warm-ups so his fingers didn't hurt.
@@lordofrims I play guitar and it's not that difficult of a song to play, they have many songs I struggle with MUCH more. This one is amazingly fun to play but really not that hard
How old are you?
@@Vertical-sandwiches you're the one that should answer to that since you're crying like a child when someone gives their opinion
@BrettPlaysGames Questions are allowed you wimp.
They still got it 🤘🤘⚡⚡
I was fortunate enough to see the Gods of Rock in Arlington this month.
Man, they have not slowed down since I saw them back in 92 at the Superdome! This is the first album since Black that I love almost every song. Thank you James Lars, Kirk, and Rob!🤘
This bangs my head
I am the mother & creator of Tristan Zammit. ❤ With pride I say, its awesome knowing how many people his videos reach & to see what Tristious intended all along. For his insane brains ability convert a view into a vision, to touch as many as possible. Undeniably unstoppable, everything he draws turns platinum!! Can't wait to see what's next!! 🎉 (NOT biased)

That guitar tone is sick dude this song is heavy as fuck
Greatest single drumbeat of all time (if anyone else thought that was a thing) 40 seconds into song
Like The Day that Never Comes, you have to wait for song to come to you.
This one should definitely be played live! Kickass song! I enjoyed it so much at the cinema!
This is my first time listening to music like this and I already LOVE IT!!
Listen to the four horsemen by Metallica 😊
It's my favorite. So badass
@@williepk5312 ooooooooo i like it its really good!!
You are in for a wild ride. Lots of great Bands with different unique personalites in Metal and it's subgenres
you should definitely listen to their first few albums if u like this stuff 🫡
Man I just can't get enough of Metallica!
72 Seasons is so full of fun riffs! And even more drums!! I love the build up in the intro!!
That riff blows my mind.
I'm from Russia, and I love METALLICA
uraaaaa🎉🎉🎉
@@agungmirah-gj8leGod bless
This song is the best on the album, absolutely there's no doubt about it,but 72 seasons is also the best 🫶!!! I'm listening to Metallica since 1996! They're still freaking amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’ve been listening since 84 and you are correct sir, best tune on the record. Best tune since sad but true.
This is my favriot song in the album
The drums in this song is so well played and arranged. This album is a fuking masterpiece. My dreams for Metallica has come true!!! 🤩
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
this album is so good in the fact that James😍,, Kirk❤, Roberto🤘,Lars🙄.lol, no Lars filled in nicely! the drums sound great.
Oh my what a jam. Prolly my favorite so far wow. Metallica never disappoints. Y’all are the best heavy metal band on the planet
3:18 is a sick ass groovy and heavy riff🔥
The riffs throughout this song rip! And that guitar harmony! 🤤
yeah bad version of moth into flame
@@vladailic5945 This is much better than moth lol
I already listened to the first 4 before it came out, so I started the album on this song. Was absolutely blown away. Easily my favorite song on the album.
Too much amazing honestly
This song is definitely tops for me. Chase the Light is another favorite of mine. But then again, this whole album has been a banger for me
@@imyoursuperbeast8220 oh wow, good to hear from you! How long have you been following matalica
