though the song may have been written about his mother's heroine addiction or cancer or his father's cancer, or his battle with abusing alcohol, or what ever, this song is truly for the listener, in a sense that it is for your interpertation, like for however it speaks to you personally. here are some of the lyrics and what they mean to me:
I RUN BUT IT STAYS RIGHT BY MY SIDE
he tries to escape the addiction but he cannot
DONT WANT IT, WANT IT, WANT IT, NO....SO TEAR ME OPEN BUT BEWARE...
the point in addiction where you know you shouldnt do it and you know its bad, but the horrible temptation is there and you give in
THERES THINGS INSIDE THAT SCREAM AND SHOUT
inside him he knows he is torn because of the addiction;this embodies his two sides, the sane and addicted sides, providing almost a bi-polarity
so much for analyzing it...i love metallica anyway they come!
