Lyrics for St. Anger as interpreted by ruben

St. Anger Lyrics
Saint Anger 'round my neck
Saint Anger 'round my neck
He never gets respect
Saint Anger 'round my neck

(You flush it out, You flush it out)
Saint Anger 'round my neck
(You flush it out, You flush it out)
He never gets respect
(You flush it out, You flush it out)
Saint Anger 'round my neck
(You flush it out, You flush it out)
He never gets respect

Fuck it all and no regrets
I hit the lights on these dark sets
I need a voice to let myself
To let myself go free
Fuck it all and fuckin' no regrets
I hit the lights on these dark sets
Medallion noose, I hang myself
Saint Anger 'round my neck

I feel my world shake
Like an earth quake
It's hard to see clear
Is it me? Is it fear?
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you

(repeat all)

I want my anger to be healthy
I want my anger just for me
I need my anger not to control
I want my anger to be me
I need to set my anger free
I need to set my anger free
I need to set my anger free
I need to set my anger free

Fuck it all and no regrets
I hit the lights on these dark sets
Tie a noose or hang myself
Saint Anger 'round my neck

I feel my world shake
Like an earth quake
It's hard to see clear
Is it me? Is it fear?
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you

Everyones gotta move on. master wuz over 20 years ago, u think they're gonna make the same music from puppets over and over. St anger is basically the rebirth of metallica. they aren't sure wut they want to do now. they got this out of their systems, now 'tallica know exacthy wut they wanna do. this cd is not that bad and i love hoe heavy and angry this whole album is. whenever i'm pissed off i throw this cd into my cd player and fuckin go ape shit. at least bob rocks not producing anymore.
New Metallica coming out spring '07, spread the word!

Has anyone noticed that they say "Fuck it all and fuckin' no regrets" in Damge Inc. too?

And they say "Hit the Lights", which another song completely.

And, wow. This last page of comments sucks ASS!!!

This song means one thing and one thing only to me... Metaliica cannot be absolved, this is a horrid song and album, what the hell? Ride the Lightning kicked my ass so much, I couldn't sit for weeks, and now this...? Shitallica, you've sunk unbearably low, fuck you.

Alot of people hate this song then? I don't. I love it and here is why.
I once was beaten up badly by someone, someone who was my friend at the time, and nothing has happened to him back. One thing I know is that he loves metal music, like myself, though I'm not sure if he loves Metallica or this song.
But anyway, the point is this is a way in my own mind of saying fuck you and I fuckin hate you you fuckin arsehole.
And the lyrics, "I'm really in anger with you", we often hear people say I'm in love with you, but this is just about the opposite feeling, hatred and anger mixed in one.
All in all, this song sounds like it's about letting out your anger on someone or something, no matter who you hurt, after keeping it in for so long.

This song obviously means (if you pay attention to the lyrics and understand metallica like a real metallica fan does) that this man is madly in anger with the prison system...st. anger is his anger, and he doesnt get respect to let it free. his anger is punished by putting him in jail...and not respected to let his anger be him. and the music video also clearly states the same.

I watched a documentary on the TV and they were talking about Metallica's St. Anger album. The reason for why the production value was so bad was because of Metallica's feued with Napster. They said "If you guys want to download our music that hasn't even been finished [as in produced and polished up] yet, then you can buy it that way too." Metallica canceled all post-production that was too continue although they did do a bit of that process. Thanks to the Napster Bitches, we got a shitty sounding album by one of the most amazing Metal Kings in the world. Just think of how well it would have sounded if the album was never leaked...? Think about that for a while.

it is about anger and releasing it obviously. it is better to let it out before it evolves into malice.

I think the reason behind the whole album is this: Napster.

Not really what was said before, but it's because the previous music could be downloaded for free.

So Metallica decided that, since their music was being downloaded, they would create such a horrendous album that nobody would want to download, so that people would stop downloading their music.

Thus, their revenge against the guy who created Napster. Good job, Shawn. You ruined it for all of us.

the only song i like on St Anger. everything else sounds like a failed attempt at being "hip". the drums drown out all the songs on this album. all you hear is that annoying snare. wtf is up with that? what kind of drums are those?
