One lyrics

Lyrics

Metallica One

 
I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, wake me

Back in the womb it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/metallica/one.html ]
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, wake me

Now the world is gone, I'm just one
Oh God help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, help me

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

This song is actually based on a movie called"johnny got his gun" it is about a man that goes into war and is wounded by a mine. He loses his legs , arms, voice, hearing and sight, so basicaly he is a prisoner in his own body

Bogan is right, its about a man trapped in his own body hence the lyrics: fed through the tube that sticks in me
just like a wartime novelty
tied to machines that make me be
cut this life off from me
and music lover, metallica has hella deep songs if you actually look into it

If you want to know the true meaning of the song.. Read the book "johnny got his gun". The song is about the book. This book is amazing! I read it in school and its deffinitely a must read!

Yes, everyone above is 'spot on' about what this song means by definition of the words he sings, but i personal just feel that this song means"awareness"!! Telling a story of a man who was abruptly shoved off to war. Who was forced to kill and basically was killed by the evil of war. Point being, war is pointless and war stole my life and all for nothing.

The meaning of this song is that a soldier (from "johnny got his gun") got wounded from a landmine. On the last strophe, it's all written. He couldn't talk, listen or see and lost his arms, legs and he became a prisioner of himself - "left me with life in hell"
