Metallica - That Was Just Your Life [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Produced by Rick Rubin]

[Verse 1]
Like a siren in my head that always threatens to repeat
Like a blind man that is strapped into the speeding driver's seat
Like a face that learned to speak, when all it knew was how to fight
Like a misery that keeps me focused though I've gone astray
Like an endless nightmare I must awaken from each day

Contradiction
A premonition
Not worthy of, so I deny
I deny

[Pre-Chorus]
I blind my eyes and try to force it all into place
I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace
I blind my eyes, I hide and feel it passing me by
I open just in time to say goodbye

[Chorus]
Almost like your life
Almost like your endless fight
Cursed, the day is long
Realize you don't belong
Disconnect somehow
Never stop the bleeding now
Almost like your fight
And there it went
Almost like your life

[Verse 2]
Like a wound that keeps on bleeding to remind me not to think
Like a raging river, drowning when I only need a drink
Like a poison that I swallow, but I want the world to die

Like a release from a prison that I didn't know I was in
Like a fight to live the past I prayed to leave from way back when
Like a general without a mission until the wars start again
Start again

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Like a touch from hell
I feel how hot that it can get if you get caught
Like a strike from heaven that turns that key
That brings you straight down to your knees

Like a touch from hell
I feel how hot that it can get if I get caught
Like a strike from heaven to reprieve
That brings you straight down to your knees

[Chorus]
