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.
