That Was Just Your Life Songtext

von Metallica

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "That Was Just Your Life" von Metallica beschreibt eine innere Konfrontation mit den eigenen Ängsten, Fehle...

Like a siren in my head that always
Threatens to repeat
Like a blind man that is strapped
Into the speeding driver's seat.
Like a face
That learns to speak
When all it knew was how to bite.
Like a misery that keeps me focus
Though I've gone astray.
Like an endless nightmare that
I must awaken from this day.
Like conviction
A premonition
Not worthy of, so I deny...I deny.
I blind my eyes and try to force it all into place
I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace.
I blind my eyes, I hide and feel it passing me by.
I open just in time to say goodbye.
Almost like your life.
Almost like your endless fight.
Curse the day is long.
Realize you don't belong.
Disconnect somehow
Never stop the bleeding now.
Almost like your fight.
And there it went,
Almost like your life.
Like a wound that keeps on bleeding
To remind me not to think.
Like a raging river drowning when
I only need to drink.
Like a poison
That I swallow
But I want the world to die.
Like a release from prison
That I didn't know I was in.
Like a fight to live the past I prayed to leave
From way back then.
Like a general
Without a mission
Until the war will start again...start again.
I blind my eyes and try to force it all into place
I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace.
I blind my eyes, I hide and feel it passing me by.
I open just in time to say goodbye.
Almost like your life.
Almost like your endless fight.
Curse the day is long.
Realize you don't belong.
Disconnect somehow
Never stop the bleeding now.
Almost like your fight.
And there it went,
Almost like your life.
Like a touch from hell to feel how hot
At it can get if you get caught.
Like a strike from heaven turns that fey (?)
That brings you straight down to your knees.
Like a touch from hell to feel how hot
At it can get if I get caught.
Like a strike from heaven to reprieve
That brings you straight down to your knees.
Almost Like your life.
Almost like your endless fight.
Curse the day is long.
Realize you don't belong.
Disconnect somehow
Never stop the bleeding now.
Almost like your fight.
And there it went,
Almost like your life.
That was just your life.
