Metallica - One Lyrics

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

Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there's not much left to 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 to real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I lived

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a war time novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this shit off from me

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

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

Land mine has taken my sight
Taken my speech, taken my hearing
Taken my arms, taken my legs
Taken my soul
Leaving me with a life in Hell

No, no, no, no, no
Oh, please God, help me
Help me

  This is the best song on 'and justice for all' (: this song is about someone who was blown up by a landmine and has no arms or legs, cant hear see orspeak, but can FEEL human feelings like everyone else. this song is about him wanting to die because he cannot interact with people, basically.

  Actually the book is "Johnny Got His Gun", and it was WWI, but you got the idea. Read the book and you'll appreciate the song even more.

  The song is about I guy in WWII who gets blown up by a landmine. In order to let hin leave they amputate is arms and legs. But sadly he is in achoma (however you spell it) and the whole song is really him talking to him self and his feelings. But there was a book about this horrid story. And If my memory serves me, they don't kill him because something to do with his parents not being there or someone who knows who he is to say "to kill him"

  So...the song is about a guy who was mutilated by a landmine, and is on life support now? Sad.
