The Day That Never Comes

As you all probably know I'm a huge Metallica fan. So I was listening to this song last night... and the lyrics really fit the current situation with Prop 8 and similar legislation. I don't think that was their intent, but if you read the lyrics it totally makes sense.

Here are the lyrics:

Born to push you around
Better just stay down
You pull away,
He hits the flesh,
You hit the ground

Mouth's so full of lies
Tend to black your eyes
Just keep them closed,
Keep praying,
Just keep waiting

[Chorus:]
Waiting for the one
The day that never comes
When you stand up and feel the warmth
But the sunshine never comes
No, the sunshine never comes

Push you cross that line
Just stay down this time
Hide in yourself,
Crawl in yourself,
You'll have your time

God, I'll make them pay
Take it back one day
I'll end this day,
I'll splatter color on this grey

[Chorus]

Love is a four letter word
And never spoken here
Love is a four letter word
Here in this prison
I suffer this no longer
I put it into
This I swear!
This I swear!
The sun will shine
This I swear!
This I swear!
This I swear!

Heh, I've noticed quite a few Metallica songs like this, my personal favourite being "Holier than Thou".

No more!
The crap rolls out your mouth again
Haven't changed, your brain is still gelatin
Little whispers circle around your head
Why don't you worry about yourself instead

Who are you? where ya been? where ya from?
Gossip burning on the tip of your tongue
You lie so much you believe yourself
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are

You know not

Before you judge me take a look at you
Can't you find something better to do
Point the finger, slow to understand
Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand

It's not who you are it's who you know
Others lives are the basis of your own
Burn your bridges build them back with wealth
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are

You know not

Yeah who the hell are you?
Hey yo

Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are

You know not

Not

Nice observation there, some songs really are timeless. not to start a metal feud or anything, but... I think the above is true for several of Megadeth's really old songs too.

Peace Sells, Holy Wars, Take No Prisoners, The Disintegrators, Set The World Afire, etc...

going to see the 'Deth in feb with Judas Priest and Testament, can't effing wait!
