lyrics: (also in the video)
Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free
Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this cant be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now hes gone
No one but me can save myself, but its too late
Now I cant think, think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye
![Metallica - One [Full HD] [Lyrics]](/img/1.gif)
When I was fighting depression, I thought this would be my "death song". When the time came, it (and other Metallica songs) actually inspired me to keep fighting. 20 years later, I am still here.
Awesome man keep it going
Glad You Made it...remeber to help others in need...it really helps when You ain't got no one around... Depression is a bitch...
Paul Smith It’s good that you’re still here, and rock on, brother 🤘🏻
Paul Smith I can only listen to this song when someone I love passes away. I don’t know why but it helps me connect with the pain of loss. It redirects my anger into peaceful tears.
10 years for me. And now I want the song of my death to be My Way by Frank Sinatra, so I'm working on having a long and cool life for the lyrics to make sense.
My grandpa was a huge Metallica fan. He introduced me to them when I was a little kid. He always said, when he dies, just bury him in his Metallica t-shirt... Well that time is now. He got the corona virus in Houston and they are going to take him off of life support any minute now. I love you grandpa and we'll see each other again. Till Valhalla!
Very sorry to hear that trueley heartbreaking
So sorry to know your grandfather is being taken off life support, but always remember all the good times you both shared, & remember you'll be reunited with your loved ones again. I believe in the afterlife.
Sorry to hear that bro. Every time you listen to Metallica he will be with you
Respect brother.
Did he make it?
My Father killed himself in 1994, I was 17 then. This song helps me feel the pain he felt leading up to that moment. Miss you still Dad!
jbbradford420 im sorry
Sorry for your loss
You should be proud of him and I know you are..suicide is not the way but sometimes mental problems lead us there...I can say this ..Mental disorder is the common cause of suicide and the only unforgiven sin is To Deny the Holy Ghost ..And there is a purgatory for the ones who have not accepted Jesus ..They have until Jesus Comes back in the Eastern Sky ..That is for the ones who died before and after Jesus lived on Earth...God will Send Jesus Back But No Man or even Jesus Knows the Day...I Pray for you and that you dont take your own life one day as I have attempted to do...my son is 16 right now and I hope he is learning what not to do.
Soory for your loss bro ... peace
jbbradford420 I’m sorry for your loss
I'm 16 going thru a really bad depression, dont really talk to my family about it and try and hold it in. This song gets me through some tough days.
Sorry to hear that, please know that there's always another day to live, it may be a bad day but it won't get worse, things are just gonna be better.
@@alanrodrigues1835 thanks bro
Keep your head up king who knows what good life can give u, you’re still young there can still be good moments and things waiting for you
also... u dropped this 👑
Head up for a better tomorrow mate
You're 16....all things pass in time. I'm 49 I know.
That horrible moment when the lyrics of this song perfectly match your thoughts and feelings.....
Such a sad song yet truly amazing and powerfull. Definetely one of my favourites from metallica.
Kimonas100 I know. Same here. Stay strong.
sad but true..
You still here with us?
Kimonas100 how im feeling right now its a scary feeling and its hard for those around me to understand
The sing of strenght in us is that we stay walking
IF YOU DON'T LIKE METALLICA THEN
That's perfectly valid, as its totally a matter of opinion.
And we all know that you have a right to have an opinion, even if its wrong.
"you have a right to have an opinion, even if its wrong" nice.
Saying an opinion is wrong is kinda douchey. An opinion isn't wrong nor right. Stop seeing the world through your eyes. Everyone is allowed to feel how they want.
Personally, I like Metallica, but that's no reason to put someone else down because they don't like them. You're giving metalheads a shit name.
Stefko Lishchynsky Not even a tripple-facepalm is enough...
People like you give us metalheads a bad reputation.
You have 0 sense of humor.
Maximalus tripple-facepalm? Why is that hyphenated? Also, why is triple misspelled? Finally, why are you using almost exactly what I used to end my statement to end yours?
I don't have 0 sense of humor. I will admit I was a bit toasted last night when I replied, so perhaps that had something to do with it. Might of been a bit out of line to tell you that, but I didn't see it as humorous, just thought you were being one of those "IF YOU DONT LIKE METAL, GO DIE. BLARRRGHH" kind of folk.
Anyway, I never intended to start a squabble, good sir. Apologies!
Stefko Lishchynsky It´s the internet, not school lol
Well I like the track "death to all but metal" but no, I listen to loads of genres so I would be targeting myself if I were like that :)
"I was me but now he's gone." One of the most powerful lyrics ever written. Probably my favorite Metallica song.
For me it's a coin toss between this and Welcome Home. When that black dog starts nipping at my heels it helps to put them on and play along on guitar👌🏻
Absolutely. I lost my son, and that really resonates with me.
Yes I just lost my granddaughter 3months ago to suicide she was only 14 yrs old love you McKenzie
@@billhuff1998 Suicide would not exist if not for a commercial public sphere... Home school if at all possible, no education is better than corporate indoctrination of the natural man- it's a failed experiment.
@@Lumalnatti11 Thank you very much
Never thought I'd get to this point. I have no one. I'm all alone. Life is bad. I miss my old self. I'm still going to strive to get my life back.
Good on you! I hope you get to a point where you are happy with yourself!
You can do it!
Keep fighting
As long as you keep on fighting you'll never be alone, you have Metallica brothers and sisters all over the world, stand up and fight. I salute you brother.
Keep fighting.
NEVER GIVE UP 🤘🏻
My dad wanted this to be played at his funeral, but when he died we forgot. And now everytime I hear this I breakdown.
Emma lee Fay iwant this song played at my funeral too
Emma lee Fay as long as you shall speak his name, he won’t die :)
How could you forget such thing...
@@haydeesanchez6614 how can you judge that action, maybe the grief of the lost was too much and details about songs being played didn't cross their minds
My dad wouldn't want this at his, but I might play it anyway!
My little brother is one of Metallica’s biggest fans we were raised on it practically. I’m 24 he’s 21 sadly back in April he got in a real bad accident and ended up with several serious injuries including brain damage. Now he is stuck in a hospital can barely move or talk. Sad part is that he is one of the nicest most innocent people you would ever meet. I miss him so much and listen to Metallica when I think about him and it always makes me cry like a baby for him. Love you Brett your gonna pull through this.
Sorry for your Loss it's heart breaking 😓😓💔
Is he okay now ? Its been a hot minute..
I hope he is alright. If not I'm sorry for your loss.
Play it for him
Here is wishing you pulled through it and you guys are so happy and living life that you forgot about this post. cheers
This song kills me more inside every time I listen to it...but listening to it over and over again has always been the only way for me to deal with depression...
Yh weird how it works that way.. It's a Fcking good song anyway
Yes isn't that something ,I guess that makes the old saying true you fight fire with fire, there is only so much meds, can do but music heals the soul..
You have read my mind mate.
Yes it's a very dark song
Helps me look deep into myself
I feel for you
@@dimitriousioannou1610 Lets face it, the song is about Depression and it is a
dark subject matter. Suicide is another dark subject matter.
Therapist: *expensive*
This song: *an absolute banger thats free*
Yeah, that pretty much sums up this whole comment section
at least you didn't call it a knee slapper like a fucking tard.
Communism is great isn't it?
All Metallica songs are better
If Lars knew, this was for free... 😂
Supposedly this song stopped a shit load of suicides, it's crazy how these artists work their magic to bring hope, relief, happiness and the ability for people to look out of the tunnel vision sight they mightve had. My respect to these legends of their profession.
but isn't this song will lead even more to depression & suicide, just from the lyrics itself?
@@NikiWonoto26 nope I can tell you from personal experience this song has saved my life and keeps me from destroying myself due to all the pain, loneliness and sadness in my life
@@mariahayes2923 how did it save you? because isn't the lyrics actually a depressing & talking about suicide?
Niki Wonoto When people know there are others who feel the same, and can articulate it, it can help them cope.
@@NikiWonoto26 this song is a spiritual cleansing more hardcore than any Christian worship song. It breaks me down, brings me to my knees, bares my soul and makes me cry my heart out everytime. Then with all the negative energy and demons out of me there is room for positive emotions to move into my soul....such as comfort, hope, love, happiness. It gives me the strength to live life as fully as possible.
aaaahhh....The guitar ..... back when music was epic. Long intros, Acoustic & Electric guitar playin in perfect harmony, and songs were longer than 5 fucking minutes. True Metal.
by the way im 19
***** 17
age does not matter and there is no need to wave it around
That was my point
ian payne by actually doing it?
It's funny how when we listen to music,
it's actually listening to us.
More than anyone.
Fact.
Facts
Good point that's true
(Im sorry I must)
In soviet Russia you dont listen to music, music listen to you
David Santoya 😀
From break-ups to death, from sadness and depression to joy and glee, or just listening to this because it's a kickass song, Metallica is here for us.
in my opinion this is the stairway to heaven of metallica.
Sebas Polo It is not as overplayed as Stairway to Heaven was. If anything, Enter Sandman is the equivalent to Stairway to Heaven as that is the most overplayed Tallica song.
davidson3600 "Tallica"
Stairway to heaven is overrated in my opinion.
Naw. Even Zepplin can't hit me where it counts!
Why you gotta compare it to something bad
I was me, but now he’s gone.
It’s precisely define how I feel right now
Same
Same
Hugs!
Stacey B 🙌
Truly the most relatable lyrics in the song
The saddest part is how true the lyrics are
I know but great song though
The lyrics are sad but true.
@@kapridus1144 I see what you did there... 🙂
this song keeps me alive...even tho i still battle depression and anxiety. it breaks me to tears whenever i hear it
@@brookegoslin its sad i cant express my emotions to ppl w/o bein judged, told to man up, its just a phase or ur crazy for feelin that way and what not so i managed to wear a mask and a fake smile 24/7
I was me but now he's gone. I have no words to describe the amazingly genius to come up with this sentence.
With all due respect... The entire song is a beast of lyrical genius
When you feel isolated from the world, but Metallica shows you that even they too have felt such sadness.. Gotta love them 🤘
55 years old and this is telling exactly my feelings
53 years old here. This song says what I can't ❤
I’ve been dealing with depression for 3 years and after many suicide attempts I found Metallica and I started listening to their songs and when I’m at my lowest I listen to this song and it helps me pull through. I love you Metallica
I'm glad you're pulling through. Keep fighting on, on to better times. You'll make it.
stay strong
ride the lightening was such a great album. truly a masterpiece
Γιαννης Σταθοπουλος Πες τα ρε Γιαννη!!
Αυτό ρε Γιαννάκη
Lightning*
Oh my God these lyrics hit close to home. I had no idea someone could put it so eloquently. Maybe we're not all so alone after all. People, please hang on. We're all gonna be okay.
there's multiple songs bro, welcome home sanitarium is another, alone i break by korn as well, a lot of disturbed songs the indestructible is a great source also the songs haunted, the curse, criminal, also the ten thousand fists album songs stricken, pain redefined, im alive, journey's song ask the lonely is another, boston i had a good time, the list is virtually endless not to mention boulevard of broken dreams by green day oldies and even groups within the past 15 years have great songs
fluffnstuff91 not to mention man in the box by alice in chains
fluffnstuff91 I fuckin love disturbed
this song was written when they were robbed of their guitars "deathly loss this cant be real"
psychicspy1234 xD
OMG. In my late fifties and just discovered Metallica. All those years I was missing out. This song really hits a nerve and so powerfully describes those times of darkness.
I envy you. How great it would be to discover Metallica again. I discovered them when their third album came out, Master of Puppets. I was fortunate to see them in concert back in 1994.
Yes you was missing out.
This song will keep you alive! Keep on fighting - you're a warrior!
Have a strong 2024!
James Hetfield writes the best lyrics. They are truly amazingly written, so much effort put into this song. So much meaning
Yet it seems effortless and that's what makes it so good
his lyrics are amazing. even the philosophers agree
Hetfield: "I write the best lyrics"
Dani Filth: "Hold my beer"
Just kidding. Both so damn good
@@Alex-kg6ih not true. Nergal is pretty genius too
One of the greatest songs ever. Ride the Lightning is my favorite Metallica album.
what about and justice for all.....
GiacomoBerto That's a good album too, but some of the songs go on for too long.
Mine too man.
+knight wing yea but that's what made metallica who they became. but the tabs are pretty simple so it's less effort for more time, yet most have more effort less time. effort as in the tabs being easy to learn, van halens tabs are hard
jacob kiser Okay.
There is so much poetry and art in this song that makes it sound kick ass. .they tapped into some amazing energy to write, and play this
finally a comment that makes sense
+Rob Miller 100% agre
+Rob Miller I agree my good man, nothing about them being bad or sucking or any other nonsense. Jus the straight up truth. Rock hard friend \m/
haha. shut up girl.
and enjoy the music.
energy is what powers our homes.
yup!
he's a great artist. not the creator of energy.
Bruce Couture hahahahahaha yeaaaa he's not the creator of energy he's the creator of what good music is lol
It's pretty sad when you can actually understand every single word in this song... And feel them.
you said it all. thought I was the only one who feels this
The moment you realize how truly heartbreaking this song actually is..
My Brother recently died passed away. I insisted I dig the hole myself. I played this song when he finally was put into the ground. I miss him so f***kin much. He was in so much pain I'm glad he isn't suffering but I'm having trouble accepting it. Rest in peace brother I'll never forget you.
Sorry for that
lol
:( sory to hear that, i hope you are well
You ok?
I'm in a really dark place at the moment, I feel empty, I have no motivation to do anything anymore... But I'll try to fight, no matter what. This song always gets me through hard times.
Let the music give you life man. You got this!
Let's go brother, rise from the ashes, that's what we men always do, we break so many times that overtime we become Unbreakable
suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. it will get better.
We have your back, break through.
You got this shit king, hope you're doing better
My Father died 2 days ago, this one of his favorite song... :")
My condolences
This was my lil sisters favorie song. she took her life two years ago. and i couldn't help her i seen signs. I was unable to help her. she would always ask me to play it whenever i was playing guitar i taught her how to play it. still this song means more to me then any other metallica song and i love alot of there work. they are who got me into playing guitar. my mother played metallica for me while i was in the belly she would put headphones on her belly. said it always calmed me my sister to she was born exactly two years after me. I LOVE and miss you yan yan
Austin Morelli bro feel for you.Fir some people life is very difficult even though they have support
Austin Morelli my brother killed himself the day before thanksgiving 3 months ago. He was a big Metallica fan and when I hear this song, it speaks to me as to what he was probably thinking and feeling. He's free now and that's the only thing that brings me comfort. "Death greets me warm and now I will say goodbye"
They did faded to black...
Condolences Bro...
I'm sorry for your loss man
This is such a depressing song but yet the ending kinda hit me like a ton of bricks. I wouldn’t wish this kind of mental illness on anyone.
Katie Brooke
It’s a masterpiece 👍🏻❤️.
I use it as a tool to reflect on what were darker times and that I'll never go back to it. Its a masterpiece
I also feel like you
This illness sucks.
Im 53 now, been fighting suicide since I was 17.
I've tried a few times with no success.
There's even been 3 life experiences that I had no control over that nearly took my life.
I don't know what my purpose in this world is.
But I'm growing extremely weary of being in it...😔
@@mizellhobbyshop There's a purpose why you're still here. If you're feeling suicidal you can always check in to the hospital or call suicide prevention line someone will help you. I was like that til I got hospitalized and I finally got the right diagnosis and help I needed. I still have days like that but there is help out there and there is always someone willing to listen. I'm here if you want to talk. I may not be much help and I know I'm some stranger online so I understand if you don't want to talk. I just don't want you to do something permanent over a temporary situation. I'm not much of a feeling talker myself so I do understand sorry for the lengthy comment
Remember if you are going through some hard times and dealing with depression, just talk to someone who can understand the pain you are going through. Don’t forget, that you are not alone in this world and you have every reason to keep on living.
The most heavy, yet beautiful, lyrics of all time. This song has saved my life so many times. “I was me but now he’s gone” I get chocked up every time I hear those words.
"This time I'm not gonna cry, I promise"
*The song starts*
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This song was the last thing my cousin posted before his suicide
.it definitely hits home .
sorry
+Julie Wilcox I am in the same boat as your cousin. He must have been listening to this song repeatedly like I am doing now.
+kevin O so did i 10 years ago, still here and there....
+Carl Nantel I doubt I last 10 years like you, the meds I take to prolong my life can not interact with alcohol but I am a alcoholic so whatever. Let nature takes it's course.
kevin O Never give up friend, never give up.
"Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly loss this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me but now, he's gone"
We are here to walk through the darkness
My favorite part
3:12 I love the way he says “agony”.
You can almost hear the pain
When it is sang with emotion, words have the power to break through with feelings
Amazing!!!
Im glad that others feel this pain. Not because I want them to hurt, but because I don’t want to to be alone.
❤️❤️
Me too
😌🖤💕
This song has one of the best openings in music history
these guys were so young when they wrote this stuff.....how
because ppl nowadays are just plain stupid
this unfortunately is sad.....but true
Barry Thomas omg lol
Barry Thomas drugs
They seemed to be inspired greatly by war on this album, with for whom the bell tolls and whatnot. I somewhat think one of the members had a vet they were close to.
My brother, who passed last October 14, 2022, from fentanyl...used to Rock this song out, growing up.
Metallica holds many memories in my mind! And in my heart!
Best music ever! Hands down! 🙌✌️🤘🤘🤘🤘
I’m sorry for your loss
So sorry for your terrible loss. My younger brother passed away from the very same thing Jan 10, 2018....6 years ago today! He too loved Metallica & we actually played this song at his funeral. It's hard to understand & accept when the anger & sadnedd sets in, but it gets a little easier each day. Gone but never forgotten!❤
Sorry for your loss. It's the devil for sure .. I bought a dime and did half and overdosed. Had a couple people that just happened to be close when it happened and called the cops who narcaned me. I almost died over five dollars of what I thought was heroin. Was an addict for about a decade... That was my wake up. I quit alone, cold turkey. Weed, cigarettes all at once. Got baptized and have daily relationship with God and read the Bible daily. Completely turned my life around.... Give it to God. He's there waiting for anyone reading this. And hell do wonders for your life. He's VERY real and once you surrender he'll reveal himself and his plan for your life.
VERY VERY REAL... Much love
I love this song R.I.P Cliff Burton
rip Jeffery😇😥
RurouniK95 ni
Heaven got one hell of a Badass musician.
Cliff cliff we are you?
I love long intros in songs. You don't get that much anymore.
+The Girl Who Broke Free i know exactly how you feel... music is entirley ruined anymore... thankfully we still have some bands that have long intros in the newer stuff.
+Blake Gray I agree
You should listen to tool then
Lol you'd love Exist then 😂 7 minute intro
The Girl Who Loves Blue xxxtentacion has 40 second intros
This song perfectly expresses my relationship with my anxiety and depression. Thank you Metallica 🖤 and for anyone else who is going through tough times I’m routing for you 💜
This song took on a new meaning last week...my neighbors across the street's son had a heart attack playin' b-ball down at the neighborhood court a couple years back,.he actually died (age 22) but his mother was soon on the scene and through cpr she brought him back to life and the helicopter showed up and he lived...when he was dead his brain starved for O2 and there was some damage, between what damage the lack of O2 and the meds they put him on, it left him a shodow of his once great self......very depressed, last week he took his life.....
steve wagner #GrimReaperStalkingHisPrey
that is very sad. i'm sorry for him and his family
After going through some personal problems and negative thoughts of suicide it is surprisingly comforting to come back to this song and listen to it with a new perspective. My doctor recommended I listen to the song comfortably numb and to find different coping mechanisms. It helped a lot, but this song really described how I was feeling and how I still feel from time to time. It felt nice to listen too a song that I didn’t understand so much as a kid with a new mind and then to see that this song has helped others it really means a lot.
Having those deep, dark, black feelings within is something almost nobody wants to acknowledge. For anybody that has hurt or been hurt understands all this and oh yes also this great classic of a song.
I'm 22 and dealing with a depression for 13 years. After finding out where this song was about, it has become my personal anthem since then. Thanks Metallica ❤
Seriously?
From last 13 years... Mean onward from 9 of age....
Man that is really bad....
Sorry for yr conditions... But God provide u strength for this
✌💛🤘
Damn man, I feel your pain, I've been dealing with depression for something around 10 years now, It's always hard, every day, but we are too strong to give up now
Listen to suicidal tendencies. I bet you gain more understanding of how you feel.
Don't judge them by their name. Their music really helps those who have been targeted.
I usually revisit this song when I am feeling under.. I lost my father just over a month ago. The excruciating and paralyzing pain has almost turned into numbness and that hurts me because I "enjoyed the pain". It was a 1.5 year battle with a cancerous brain tumour and my dad was just under 60. I feel cheated and I feel that I was robbed. This song hits me pretty deep. I see comments about suicide I actually believe thinking of it .. not action.. but the thought just symbolize to everyone that there is hope and strength. My life feels meaningless as a son as a young man ..... but I know that I have to live on with dad with me.. not in the flesh...that nothing and no else matters... and to fucking enjoy every fucking second of life (hard with depression I know) but do whatever makes us fucking happy and comfortable an FUCK EVERYONE who did us wrong in anyway. Love and respect people who treat you well.. and survive this fucking hell called life. Power to all !!!!?
Stephen King I hear you. Although I didn't experience a death, yet. I'm going through the darkest time ever in my life. Just waking up is a battle. Waking up is the worst. When reality hits you like a brick to the face. Going through hell with the only person I've ever truly loved. I know experiencing death is terrible and really hard to come back from after feeling lost. But when you love someone who hurts you, someone you never expected it from in a million years. It hurts, hurts bad. I'm usually strong and never let anything bother me. Never a girl. Never someone's words. Never anything. My whole life I've been numb to all and everything and never showed emotion. I was raised to not show emotion. It's just how I am. And now I'm a huge mess and never experienced anything like this. I'm catholic and eating my gun would be a tough thing to do. But everyday i get in my truck I pray I get T boned, every time I pump gas I pray the pump explodes, every time I fall asleep I pray I don't wake. It amazes me that this world is so cold and fucked up that it never bothers me, but a woman can. But she isn't just any woman and that's the fucked up part. Sorry this is so long. I have no one to talk to. Literally no one. People wouldn't understand anyway. Keeping all this in kills me everyday. I was never like this and would normally think people are nuts to feel like this. All I see is people happy everyday and I'm lost walking through life like a zombie. Before this I could count on one hand how many times I've cried in the last 25 years. And it's all I seem to do now. So I'm sorry you feel like that and I'm sorry you lost your father. I wouldn't know what to do if I lost mine. It's a scary feeling and I dread the day I get a call that something happened to my girlfriend or parents/siblings. Life sucks. Guess we just have to walk through hell till we get to heaven. God bless brother. Hope you overcome your pain and loss. I know they say hope is right around he corner but it sometimes isn't, but everyone has their own cards that are dealt. Hopefully yours is full of happiness. As for me, it isn't. Take care. Happy Holidays.
go and hug your father and mother...you don't have them forever. Tell them whats bothering you and say everything you wanted and want to.... do it for me...do it for my dad....sounds weird but I mean it... do for me what I cannot do for me.
I can relate to the pain. My father passed from a heart attack and i had to help to cop pull him out of the bath tub after yelling for him to wake up. That was in march, 2016.I have developed PTSD from the moment, and many other issues. I feel for you. If you ever want to message me you can.
Handsome SpaceGamer I'm so sorry. Know that you were there to help your father and did your very best. Keep your head high
Stephen King I can relate. my dad got hit by a car this song has been in my head since
Think is my son's favorite song and everytime I hear it .it tears through my soul..battleing the battle schizophrenia and bipolar..don't give up my fellow 5150s
Who is listening while in self quarantine?? 👋👍 you’re awesome!!
yes im listening, i just never really listened to the lyrics, cuz i didn't like this song much, but this is a sad song, and it has meaning, i hope my friend/ex doesn't do what i think he might do,,, because of this life we have is nothing but heartaches and pain, and struggling etc..
💪

Pisces West wow🤦🏾♂️

Now, I could listen to this astounding lyrically and musically outstanding song again, or I could listen to one of the 5000 mainstream songs about going to the club.
*replay*

Underrated comment.
by far the best Metallica song ever
Bobby Cirello don't forget Master of Puppets. The solos are great
....forever....
Life's too short, man. Just have fun everyday, do weird things, be with your friends, stop being afraid, tell how you feel, go do that thing you always wanted.
sometimes it isn't that simple my friend
If you're lucky enough to have decent friends.
@@imogenimeson664 or even have friends...
Life never lasts forever. Eventually we will all close our eyes, never to reopen. We never know how we will die or when until the moment of death. Hell i could die tonight. Or tomorrow. We never know. We all know its coming, sooner or later. So live each day like its your last.
+chrisadeth Yep. I agree. Sometimes I wonder why life lasts so long and sometimes I wonder why life lasts so short. We will never know how long our live will last. We only have 1 thing certain. Death. You cannot stop it. You cannot hide from it. Everyone will have to face the grim reaper, like it or not. Some will cry, some will smile. I am not sure what I will do. Nobody does. It's amazing but terrifying. Knowing the only certain thing in this world is the thing many people fear most and the thing some people embrace. Some people want to see Death himself early and some want to never see him. Those people can't except that they can't stop death. You may be able to delay it, but you can't stop it. Have a nice day.
How could i know that this would be my fate?
Absoutly agree man....
Listening to this song helps me cope with my depression, and the lyrics are so me and how I feel on a really bad day
Same here
For all those dealing with depression! Stay strong! You are loved more than you think
Thanks
Amen
Thanks
I have felt horrendous pain, and only feel numb because of someone I trusted, and now I only want them to feel how they hurt me 10 fold. This song makes me feel raw.
dont be so dramatic
I understand you are probably going though rough times. It doesn't always get easier, but you have to always try.
We all here are trying to understand life,many of people in the past have done this and failed...but what they did,invent made them great men.Some nights i look up in the sky trying to find an answer i lie down and fall to sleep, i wake up thinking of the middle ages and knights they had no fear of death they helped others that was their meaning
The point isnt death its life find you porpuse in this world and you will be at peace
i believe the meaning of life is to know that we are living in some sort of simulation
My dad is dieing from Alhiemerz(sp). Hasnt eat or drank anything in 8 days now. In my heart i feel this is what hes saying. Ive listened to this song over and over. Thanks for posting!!!!!
I just realized that my neighbors love this song as much as i do hehe
This is what we called the real music...This song completely changed my life..Thank you Metallica \m/
You know i know this song is objectively depressing but in my opinion it has the reverse effect on me. To me I find it comforting knowing that Im not alone in how I feel. Theres people feeling the same as me and they understand how I feel and I understand how they feel. Thats comforting.. especially when family or friends or anyone who isnt depressed cant really understand how it feels and cant truly relate
Yup couldn't have said it better myself !!!
This songs describes EXACTLY how i felt when i was in the throws of my addiction. I pray no one ever has to feel what i felt. The emotion i am speaking of is hopelessness. It got to the point that i felt like I needed the end to set me free. The emptyness and the pain i felt at the time was indescribable. This song had such an impact on me that i am now writing a book about my battle with addiction. I hope when i am finished with the book it may help someone someday. Maybe it will give them hope. The name of my book is "Fade to Black."
Did you finish the book? Where i can buy?
does anyone else tear up when listening to this song?
Clake844 first time I ever heard this song (which was back in early 2012) I cried my eyes out. story of my life right here
+Clake844 Yes
Clake844 everytime, yes
every fucking time.
James emotion in this song is too much
What I really like about these lyrics is that it isn't about something specific. Many sad songs have a story in the lyrics in specific but this doesn't specify why it is sad. It just is, and that means a lot of people can relate no matter what problems they have. Thank you so much Metallica, this song got me through some very tough times. I don't care what anyone says, metal has the best sad songs out of any other genre.
One of the powerful songs ever written. A stunning piece of music and a great tool for reflection. I'll never return to that
Best song ever written in all of history Metallica are amazing and did something extraordinary and beyond belief.
God bless Metallica forever for this song alone !
Metallica fricking RULES
This song makes me always cry. Because I feel like the one he sings about.
I just lost a child and this is the only song I can listen to bc it's all I can feel right now.
Definetly one of Metallica's greatest songs. Lyrics are filled with beauty held with emotion and truth. The progression/ build up is fluid leading to one of my favorite solos! This song is the perfect tribute to one of the greatest bassists I've ever heard! R.I.P and fly high Cliff Burton!
I always come back to this song in my darkest moments, and the self-awareness of my pain helps me to cope.
I am embroiled in a severe and exhausting battle with depression that has been broiling for 25 years and getting worse. "Cannot stand stand this hell i feel" strikes particularly hard. Its hell everyday with my depression and I hate it. I find myself questioning my will more and more these days and how close I am to losing it.
This song almost perfectly describes depression and the guitar playing gorgeous!
why cant these new bands make great songs like this anymore
Indie artists. Rusty cage makes stuff like this song not metallica but this feel of song.
Agree
This was my life 2 years back. I went through hell. My ex didn't appreciate what i did to provide for our family, she always cheated on me, constant fighting, major alcohol use, and talk of suicide. I just gave on life, i didn't see a point living if i wanst appreciated for nusting my ass for a week let paycheck that was gone the same day, bills, her. The only thing that helped were our kids, they were the only bright spot, plus out friend Sarah helped too.
You’re a fucking trooper and I trust me man someone’s coming for you and your kids are gonna have somebody awesome to call mom and that’s gonna be because of you stay strong bud
Stay strong my friend.
This keeps reminding me of my emptiness and my sadness I never have hopen for myself I've been fighting hard to resist it and knowing I've done this shit in the past well at least attempted it, it hurt like hell if you are reading god has a plan for you got this stay strong friends.
my dad told me to play this at his funeral. I hope that day never ever comes.
My mum actually told me the same thing haha XD
Crazy. This must be the song to go to lol the longest beginning ever. My dad said to play it while they're lowering him. two years later he said he wants to be cremated -__- like make up your mind.
hmm. Never heard. I'll have to listen.
i actually played this at my husbands funeral. it's just the music he loved and would have wanted.
Really? Aw :\ sorry to hear that but yeah, just thought i'd share it.
Listening cause I have like 3 big exams this week :/
I know that feeling... Hope you passed 'em man!
Invincible I did them with above average score hehe, still thx buddy.
Tvastar Dev Haha great!
Tvastar Dev I have a math test this week. Please pray for me!
Tvastar Dev I have a math test this week. Please pray for me!
This song is so relaxing. Every time is listen to this beautiful stuff, I just drift off. It's a stress reliever to me.
My son died at age 22 in 2012. We played this at his memorial. I remember his loving music and Metallica was one of his favorites. This song was one he told his sister to play if he ever died. That was long before he even got sick. It's like he knew he was dying young. Miss his presence and jamming out & laughs we would have everywhere we went. Car rides live on in my memory as some of our best times.
I feel like this song was made for me.
***** No , it wasn't , U are just a no-name youtuber. There is absolutely nothing special about you.
Keyboard warrior
***** Better walk with your child to school from now on. You never know who is watching.
***** Back the fuck off from my comment, I can't stand your stupidity.
it was made for all of us :)
I tried suicide this song helping me forget the war memories in Iraq
Oh I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you're doing alright now
Thank you for your service
Thank you for your service 🥺🥺
Lol
With all my heart, god bless to you. Thank you for your service.
what is really freaky I had a uncle commit suicide and his letter almost fit perfectly with this song
May your uncle rest in peace.
R.I.P
so sorry for you, man
this song or final exit of fear factory :p
im sorry to hear that man
Reading through the comments here is heart-breaking, although uplifting at the same time, and to see so many sad stories with the many, many, many replies of encouragement to those expressing their "Fade to Black" moments is just too beautiful for words...
It's good to see such a dark-themed song bring so many good people together to support each other in their "darkest hours"..
Thx James, Kirk, Cliff & Lars for giving us all this absolute effin' gem !!!
Love & Prayers to all of ya out there wherever you're from, and as we say around my neck of the woods....
"Keep yer chin up, e'en tho' yer arse is draggin' a furrow"

my funeral song when its my time to go 🤘❤
I have listened to this song over and over numerous times since my Mother died in 2021. It describes how I still feel every day since that moment.
My uncle died in Aprirl 27th 2021 and he loved Metallica he introduced me to the band back in '06.
This always makes feel like I've let him down as his was like a father to me. I did some really stupid stuff in my youth
wow..I can't believe the time is finally here. everything that led me to these moments of self liberation. i can finally rest.. my kids are grown.. my wife is gone.I am 47 today. always said I'd never make 50. and my thoughts are written perfectly in this song. a song I always knew would sum it up and close it.....
When I die, I wish this song to be playing...

Oogtug😁😁😁😁
Put a shirt on
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 great&right choice
Like a “ To live is to die” too...
This song is being a teenager in a nutshell
1. Grandparents start to pass away
2. School is getting more stressful and hard
3. Puberty
4. More responsibilities
5. Always sad and a wanting to sleep a lot because it’s an escape from life
6. You start to realize how cruel life really is and how it’s all down hill from here
Truest shit ever bro. I’m almost 18 and these all the sad truth…
I hate how damn relatable this is
This song helped me get through my diagnosis years ago and still helps me cope with this still today, u see I was diagnosed with being extremely good looking and irresistible
Lost my son on 12/01/2023 this song hurts but helps me as well... We went to the concert in Arizona and he hugged me and cried to this song.. can't believe my little boy is gone.. the pain is so real..
I'm soo sorry for your loss. 😢and I know it hurts and I won't lie and say the hurt will go away because it doesnt. It will get easier with time. And I'm sure your son wants u to live a happy life. And not 😂 dwell on the sadness but live through the memories you do have. And just know that he's up there now watching over u.❤
Thank you ❤
