Hey, I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey, I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
They, they betray
I'm your only true friend now
They, they'll betray
I'm forever there
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel, sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true, sad but true [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/metallica/sad_but_true.html ]
You, you're my mask
You're my cover, my shelter
You, you're my mask
You're the one who's blamed
Do, do my work
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do, do my deeds, for you're the one who's shamed
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel, sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true, sad but true
I'm your dream
I'm your eyes
I'm your pain
I'm your dream (I'm your dream)
I'm your eyes (I'm your eyes)
I'm your pain (I'm your pain)
You know it's sad but true
Hate, I'm your hate
I'm your hate when you want love
Pay, pay the price
Pay for nothing's fair
Hey, I'm your life
I'm the one who took you here
Hey, I'm you life and I no longer care
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel, sad but true
I'm your truth, telling lies
I'm your reasoned alibis
I'm inside open your eyes
I'm you, sad but true
This song is eaither about the darker side that we all have, a person with split personalities, or the best stalker the world has ever seen. This song is awesome. Metallica ftw. Very few bands compare.
Oh, lot's of wrong writings! Sorry, i meant; i thinks this song is about concience, or about having a mental disorder, maybe like being a schizophreniac?... Yeah, you know what i mean
This song is about someone with an evil split personality that comes out when he sleeps, the verses ["i'm your dream mind astray", and the verse "i'm inside open your eyes... I'm you! ] gives it away.
I think this song is about the dark side of each person, that is normaly hidden by the education we recieve so we can be functional members of the society
