New blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pain disgrace
The young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on
He's known
Oooh a vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/metallica/unforgiven.html ]
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
(1st and 2nd solos)
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
(3rd solo)
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
So I dub thee unforgiven
If you spend your whole life trying to conform to what the world wants you to be then your whole life is void of meaning... Or at least that's what i get out of this great song.

Just don't be a metallic thing be shabed by people ,
This song to me means: you have been born into slavery and you are starting to think " is this the real world or should i try to escape from this prison. "and that is why i think this is an amazing song.
Live because you want to, live because you know to. Never try to live because you have to. If you do u r not alive u r just there and one day u wil vanish and no 1 wil even know
I love this song so fuckin' much ... And i agree with rebel82 and lemon egg , it means that they said . I think is something like this "live for live, exist for exist for the others never live like you wanted. "
Man i love this song metallica is so amazing. Also i agree with rebel82 on the meaning of the song, someone who lives completely by what other people want isnt a person anymore, they are simply a human.
