I´m no Metallica fan, and I´ve never been. But this song is somewhat underrated. I´m trying to figure out what it´s all about. I´m guessing heroin addiction?
"Until it sleeps" by Metallica
I guess once the song is out there we can all interpret it however we like. I know I do that with songs. But my understanding is that Hetfield wrote the lyrics about the deaths of his parents (especially mother) from cancer and the pain and anger resulting from that.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
