Chorus:
Do you bury me when I'm gone?
Do you teach me while I'm here?
Just as soon as I belong,
Then it's time I disappear.
Hey Hey Hey
And I went,
And I went on down that road.
Hey Hey Hey
And I went on,
And I went on down that road. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/metallica/i_disappear.html ]
I'm pain, I'm hope, I'm suffer.
Hey Hey Hey
And I went on,
And I went on down that road.
Chorus:
Do you bury me when I'm gone?
Do you teach me while I'm here?
Just as soon as I belong,
Then it's time I disappear.
Do you bury me when I'm gone?
Do you teach me while I'm here?
Just as soon as I belong,
Then it's time I disappear.
There is the more obvious meaning that this is about death, because he says 'do you bury me when i'm gone? ' but i believe the meaning of metallica songs go beyond the obvious. I think this song is about a wanderer who never stays in one place for some secret reason, and always leaves people behind him. I think he is wondering if he has been forgotten ('buried').
