First off, the one lyric on this page is wrong. When James shouts before the guitar solo, he says "FACE ME," not "fix me." Second, no offense to anyone, but why argue over whether or not it is specifically about a herione or a cocaine addiction? Really, people. For me, the song isn't even about drugs or a drug addict. Yes, that is what it is saying on the surface, but for me it is saying that we are all being pulled by the strings of fate (or being toyed around with by god), with absolutely no power over ourselves. As humans, we enjoy our destructive behavior, no matter how much it makes us suffer, and in a way our dark nature is like a drug that we simply cannot get enough of, or come to terms with and overcome. Anyone else with intelligent ideas to offer on this song, I'd love to chat.
Nimrod, I very much so do agree with you. I love deciphering lyircs. However I strongly agree with it being about drugs, as there are countless metaphors in here relating to that. Oh, and stop arguing about whether it's about cocaine or heroine. They'll both kill you, that's the point.
But I love your interpretation of it being about never getting enough of our nature to
be destructive!

i dont think "chop your breakfast on a mirror" is about drugs. i think its because walking around with a broken mirror is supposed to be bad luck or something. in fact i don't think any of it is about drugs.it could also be force feeding "you" cocaine but i'm sure its not.

Chop your breakfast on a mirror is a clear metaphor about doing blow. Cocaine users prefer to chop their blow on a mirror. An addict as described in the song would probably do some at breakfast. But the song could also be about heroin, or possibly someone who does both, like Nikki Sixx used to do.

nimrod: I like your thoughts. I'm not much of a Metallica fan, but this song is pretty raw, imo. Once you scratch past the surface it really could be about anything. Just because it says "chop your breakfast on a mirror" and alludes to drug use doesn't mean the drug abuse could stem from something completely unseen. I, personally, think it could even be about a girl. Imagine if this song was sung by a woman to her significant other. Pretty dark shit, but I find some women really do get off from the thought of controlling their man....

First of all YOUR wrong he does say fix me. Second, the lyrics couldn't be more clearly about a drug addiction. Needle work the way? What else could that be about. And fuck all you people who think metallica is satanic and worship the devil. James hetfield was raised in a strict Christian home. In fact, his mom was so christian that she refused to take medicine to cure her cancer, she insisted that God would either save her or decide it was time for her to go. Anyways, it don't matter what drug it's about, but it's definitely about...

honestly ppl have different feelings and perceptions about things, especially politics religion (no brainer there..) and music. to me this song is about drugs and drug addiction and honestly I could care less about what specific drug it's refering to...it also makes me think of drug dealers -("I'm pulling your strings"..."I will help you die".."just call my name"....etc.)-and way back in the dark ages (lol) I actually knew a few who sang that song constantly it seemed.....I only read the 1st bit of comments, so someone may've mad this point already...addiction is addiction ppl,it matters not what one's drug (...

p.s. pls excuse typos. and as 4 the comment about satan, ppl should take accountability for their actions/choices in life. they should check out crossroad blues (robert j if i remember right).
@nimrod18037 Many song lyrics are open too interpretation, and it is all about the personal ear hearing the song.

I've been a huge Metallica fan since I was a lot younger then I am now, I always thought he was saying "Base Me" as in Free Basing Cocaine etc.
I'm NOT saying that is what was intended, but that is what I always heard and it fits quite well with the meaning behind the song.

@nimrod18037 its definitely fix me. since the song is pretty much about a drug addiction it has 2 meanings like getting a fix but also a fix me as like a cry for help

@nimrod18037 chop your breakfast on a mirror is a clear metaphor to cociane, most addicts would “chop” it on a mirror and cocaine causes you to not feel hunger.

i like your way of thinking, but the song is obviously about drugs.
