"Screaming Suicide addresses the taboo word of suicide,” says James Hetfield. "The intention is to communicate about the darkness we feel inside. It's ridiculous to think we should deny that we have these thoughts. At one point or another I believe most people have thought about it. To face it is to speak the unspoken. If it's a human experience, we should be able to talk about it. You are not alone.”
Dear RU-vid, do not censor this video, hiding a problem does not help the problem to disappear but rather makes the problem act like an invisible monster that kills you when you least expect it. As the title of the Metallica song says: Sad but true.
you mean how large platforms have to be careful people dont post pro suicide media so they put a generic warning to make sure they are covered? no yeah...its cuz its taboo thats why they put viewer discretion....*rolls eyes*
I'm in tears right now. You have no idea how much I needed to hear these words. I've been trapped in a hole I can't seem to get out of, no matter how hard I try to climb out of the hole.
…just wanted to say I hear ya and it’s an awful awful spot to be in, a hole…it’s different for everyone - we all have our own personal landscapes of hell view -- but, yeah, these times are so fuckin’heavy…it’s a daily gauntlet of crossroads in my life, keep rising-don’t give up-keep rising-don’t give up…it’s exhausting, yeah? Metallica’s Lux Aeterna track was like a godsend for me and remembering that somehow my heart is connected to so many other firelights out the world reminds me that a) im not alone, b) I am amazing and powerful otherwise I wouldn’t be getting hit with so much of the dark force death vibes the military industrial tragedy complex is pumping out to try to make everyone miserable cause evil feeds on misery…and, thus…c) fuck that, I will not let myself get sucked into despair and hopelessness cause that’s exactly what the mf’ers want… It’s not so easy as that, of course…but, lol, damn - if hope can’t motivate me to drag myself up and out and keep fuckin’ moving, defiance against letting some ugly awful shit rob me of my spirit and my fight sure will keep me moving…even if slowly and crying in my car. It’s a really hard time in the world right now - or, like, forever, the past couple thousand years…like way too much atrocity to mourn and fear…I think most people who are 1/2 conscious are struggling through some major existential and wtf-omg-please-someone-stop-the-world headspaces and heart spaces…everyone’s hellspace is their own, but you’re for sure not alone. I have had to force myself to keep moving a lot lately…but, fuck some evil motherfuckers who want good people to give up in despair and overwhelm, right? Sending lux aeterna your way, find your angels where you can…Metallica and music in general has been a hand of God for sure. Keep crying - it means you’re alive and you love yourself and the world…it’s also a nervous system reset, trauma release…♥️ hmu in reply if you want me to send you this awesome resilience skills workbook (community resiliency model from trauma resource institute, you can look it up - it’s legit) it’s a pdf copy from my Gdrive, so the link is like garbledy sketchy looking long asf google crap. I used to facilitate recovery classes in community mental health centers and the resilience skills work is the most useful set of information out there - like, oh…wait, it makes total sense that I’d feel heavy and numb and stuck and sad…that’s cause I’m a human being and im overwhelmed and my oldskool stress/threat response is freaking and my body is flooded with a bunch of cortisol and I’m basically bouncing back and forth between fight and flight and ima-just-sleep-all-day-k? Helps me to remember that it’s okay to be kinda f*ed up rn, and also gives a ton of simple tools to get out of the sympathetic parasympathetic unfun house merry go round of feeling like shit and then feeling shittier cause I’m sad I feel like shit…and help get my brain back out of the dark ages territory, try to scrap my way toward the next tiny bright spot, small salvation…whatever keeps me fighting cause the world needs I our hearts lit rn, can guarantee that. Even if the flame is small…keep it lit. ⚡️
Yes! But ppl will still bag on it cuz it’s not dark and moody and doesn’t sound like something from the 80’s. I LOVE 80’s Metallica. My fave. But this is still kick ass and has a good message. They aren’t the Master era Metallica and that’s fine by me. They’re still the best there is.
@@donaldbrackin4892 But in the mind of a suicide you're not going to make that assessment. Think about it. And then factor in drugs, alcohol. Could be a death sentence. This group should know better. One size does NOT fit all.
I lost my father last year in April through suicide. I wished he would've talked more with me about his demons ( Army veteran served in Iraq) and his issue with my mom. I think this song would've helped my dad. He was a Metallica fan too. Wish you were here dad love you! I miss you so much!
You, my friend are not alone. USMC 0323 E6 1992-2002. I've lost many a brother, and sadly my father in 2007. I'll never really know why he gave in to his demons, but like you, I'll miss him forever wishing he would have talked to me or ANYONE about them. I followed his footsteps into service but I can't follow him where he went. I have four sons and five daughters of my own and won't be leaving them wondering about me the way I do him. War takes it's toll and sometimes it seems that toll is paid after the smoke and fire has cleared for the rest of us. For my father, and others, and maybe yours, that fire and loss follows them home. I try to remember this as I remember all the good he and his lost brothers have done, the love he showed to them all and my brother sister and I, rather than the finality and loss that I felt the day I was told what his solution to the pain he was carrying led him to do. For a long time I tried to be angry at him. Now I just wish he could see what his legacy has become as I watch his grandchildren grow into the people I know he would be proud of. Life carries on, but the light is just a little dimmer without him. Build something that will endure, and try to help those who's demons haunt them, trying to let them know they are not alone. They don't need to suffer alone. I'll add your father to the monument to the fallen I carry in my soul. God bless brother.
@@artexatrayu8930 thanks brother! strong words and thank you for your service. I tried to follow his steps too and joined the german army (I grew up in Germany). He'd tried to talked it out of me. I stayed in for a while and followed his advice and went out with any combat experince. So I have a big respect and honor for those who were in combat. And by the time my regrets become less as I see what kinda man I became without the military and made him proud without it also. The german army isn't like the US Army lol the US Army felt like more family to me because I grew up with the Army. Actualy I wanted to join the USMC or US Army, lol. But that's a different story. Anyway his grandchild- my daughter was born about 2-3 weeks later after his death. That hurted so much and everytime I see my daughter I have to think about my dad, how proud he would be. This is so sad and so wrong. sorry for my bad english. It been a while since my dad died I don't have anyone to talk in english. God bless you and for all the lost souls!
This song is so close to my heart, and my favourite Metallica song to date. As someone who faced depression and an attempt in the past, the song and the lyrics really tell you how one feels. “Craving dopamine” “are you good enough” “you should just give up” “keep me inside my name is suicide” “you’re the one who’s to blame” are just few words in the song that describes depression. And to those who are suffering, like I did, keep fighting man, keep fighting this voice inside you! Don’t let it speak your name, and let it blame you for what’s going on with you! You got this! You are better than this! You are a fighter, my man, a goddamn fighter! RU-vid should not censor this video, as it teaches you on how to fight crippling depression! Anyways, much love to you all, and wishing nothing, but the best for you all. Thank you, Metallica, for making this wonderful song.
@@hmm8183 mate, I took an attempt at my own life, two years ago, and you tell me that depression does not exist? One of my friends was found dead, in a hostel dorm, his body hanging from the ceiling, and you say depression does not exist? You’re one of them taters na, that has a really toxic mindset, and want to watch the world burn, ain’t you? “Depression don’t exist” you say. Late Chester Bennington of Linkin Park died of hanging due to depression. Corey Taylor of Slipknot tried to off himself twice, heck even Ozzy Osbourne faced depression when he was fired from Black Sabbath, and you say, it does not exist? I’m glad that you haven’t faced depression in your life time, and I hope so that you don’t, but please have some humanity for those who fought from hell and came back victorious.
@@hmm8183 lmao Yeah, it does exist. What do you mean “weak mindset”? Depression is literally either a chemical imbalance in your brain, or causes by some awful event (or string of events). You can’t just say “smile more : ))” to cure your depression. Yes, you should seek help and not shove the responsibility of you getting better onto other people, but it absolutely isn’t as easy as changing your mindset.
I know that the thought police get themselves twisted up at the use of the word "suicide". As someone who has struggled with my darker side, I want to thank Metallica for having the courage and artistic integrity to take this subject on. This song is NOT about suicide, it's about overcoming those destructive negative thoughts and living a worthwhile life.
As a survivor I am all for removing the taboo around the word and talking about it more. Metallica has always been good about confronting mental illness and addressing the human condition. And another excellent song comes from it!
21 “You have heard that the ancients were told, ‘You shall not commit murder’ and ‘Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.’ 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell. 23 Therefore if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering. 25 Make friends quickly with your opponent at law while you are with him on the way, so that your opponent may not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I say to you, you will not come out of there until you have paid up the last cent. Matthew 5:21-26
As a person that lost my best friend to suicide at age 18 in the year 2002, and then seriously thought about it myself in 2015, I can tell you that there are always people that you can go to for help. Whether that be a friend, family member, counselor, group, therapist, etc. Its now 2023 (Im gonna be 40 this year!) and Im living the best life I could ever have dreamed of. Please, dont ever give up!
Agreed! Best friend killed himself 2yrs ago when his wife left him. I called him to check on him minutes after. Killed a part of me. Wanted to let him know that I would be with him through these dark days. He couldn’t see his way through the darkness. R.I.P. Everet Roach
Sometimes that's just not enough.Doesn't matter how many hospitalisations,medications and "therapy" someone has,sometimes the trauma and emotional pain is unbearable.I should be dead,and most of the time I wish I was.I've lost friends/room mates(in psych wards)& a partner(war veteran) to suicide.And,honestly,sometimes there is NOONE to turn to for help because traumatised people have such low self-esteem and a sense of unworthiness that we simply CAN'T pick up the phone.Being treated like shit all your life will kinda do that to you.Last time I called a crisis line I had fking cops threatening to break the door down(cause we just don't have enough ambulances in my town)-& I hadn't even done anything!!Will NEVER ring crisis lines again-the local hospital SUCKS & doesn't have mental health beds anymore,so I get fking locked up miles away from my family and supports.BLAME THE VICTIM Peace be with you and THANKYOU Metallica for me feel validated.
9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
Lost one of my best friends to suicide just under two years ago, and almost myself this January. I’m so appreciative of this song, hopefully someone hears it and it gives them hope, thank you Metallica, and thank you James for your beautiful message
Such a shame that governments don't listen and provide appropriate mental health services/facilities for those who are suffering mental illness.SOOO fking tempted to play this song at the local(completely inadequate & largely incompetent) mental health "service".People are dying😢Rock on❤
My dad took his life in ‘09 after many years of health problems… always fighting, working hard, and not making a fuss about anything. He was my hero, and the day we lost him, I found him in the place he found the most peace - finally at rest. He has missed out on much of my life and three beautiful grandchildren since then. Rock music always brought us together, and I appreciate the meaning behind this new tune. I like to picture Dad rocking out in heaven, and I believe one day I’ll be rocking with him again… 🤘🏻
Thanks Metallica for this song. There's some nights that I can't sleep, thinking about why am I still here if I just disappoint everyone that loves me. Thinking about if it's still worthy to be alive and try to be a better person when you can't see the light coming anymore. I have so much difficult to forgive myself about the things I did, I'm feeling like a monster. But this song gave me the opportunity to see that things can change one day... I couldn't be more grateful to you guys, thank you very much ❤
If you disappoint everyone, I dare suggest they arent the best company, whether they are friends or family. Find people that accept you totally as you currently are, while you continue to genuinely do your best.
Metallica is elemental. Like fire and water. They are a symbol, untouchable for all time. I remember my mom yelling at her boyfriend that he couldn't listen to that " METALLICA " In the house when the kids were there. That was how I discovered them. 7 years old, Metallica has been a part of my life ever since. That was 1990. I didn't know they were popular for anyone else, and it wouldn't have mattered anyway. I didn't even know what a big deal was, I just knew this music was right. "Life for our own to live our own way", that world may be gone, but METALLICA LIVES ON FOREVER.
I’ve always struggled with mental health, and this past year has been extremely difficult after losing a friend. Music was the only thing keeping me alive at some points. So glad to see Metallica choosing to talk about it and actively choosing life. They’re not young, they’ve had their struggles, but they choose to keep on creating and honestly they’re doing better than ever.
As a grieving mother whose son ended his life at age 36-this hit me right in the feels and I was almost afraid to listen to it. Thank you for speaking out with this wonderful song.
As a man who has attempted suicide twice I’ve always found incredible comfort in music namely rock music cause even as a black man I feel the most connected to these artists (I listen to everything but my go to is usually rock). Thank for this song definitely another banger that I can go to 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾.
As a white metalhead, I was always bothered by the number of racist assholes in metal. Glad to see that hasn't discouraged ya man, and if it means anything from an internet stranger, I'm glad you're still here brother. Don't be afraid to reach out
For people who keep the thought of committing suicide inside, I think that watching this video and listening carefully to the lyrics of the song could save your life.
Today would definitely be the day for Metallica to drop a song! Today would have been my friend's 24th birthday and we both loved Metallica! Thank you guys!
I'm 55 myself, and saw these guys back in 1986 in Chicago and it's STILL one of the best concerts I've ever been to. I've been able to teach my youngest (16) about the great songs Metallica, and bands like Sabbaton MADE in the past, now he gets to hear and see something new with Dad.
Metallica have gotta be the most HONEST bands-you speak my TRUTH.❤People who have absolutely no understanding or insight try to tell me that listening to metal is only making me more depressed and suicidal-NOT TRUE-it's(sadly😢)relatable.❤ you guys.Every best wish to my fellow Metallica Family members,may you find peace and healing.
This last tour, James always brought about this topic during the show. It was in the middle of Fade to Black when I was there in Hockenheim. And he made us all repeat after him - "I am NOT alone" What a band, what a man! \m/
I was also in Hockenheim, after listening to "Screaming Suicide" I also had to think about that moment. It had a strong impact on me since I went through many hard times. Also its awesome that Metallica made us share that moment and is now bringing us back together on youtube 🤘🏻
This is right up there with spit out the bone and the day that never comes as best Metallica songs of the past 25 years.. this song absolutely steals the album to me.. not only is the message deep but it’s an absolute masterpiece from a musical perspective.. these gentlemen are the GOATS
I love that this song doesnt just lead into a person eventually holding it for too long and acting on it, but eventually speaking out and even though irl it might not work exactly (im not a mental health expert i just thought of it this way) it helps with the thoughts just by speaking out loud about it and maybe even helps further.
You hear bass???? More like bass drum!! 😃😆 But yeah, i love the song!! 😋🙌🖤🖤 Just kidding. You can hear bass well. It's not as loud as HTSD album bass, but it's good balance. And this album is already better than Hardwired.
The day this album was announced my sister passed away from addiction. I’ve been battling depression since and now this…. This speaks volumes. Thank you to my favorite band of all time!
So sorry for your loss, and I hope you find all the strength you need to keep on keeping on, and overcome the dark demons within...I think you will, and your sister needs you to :) All the very best to you!!
LONG LIVE METALLICA!!! I’ve been listening to them from the very beginning in the early 80s. And I still listen to the old and new music to this day!!!
James, Lars, Kirk, and even Robert. I want to thank you guys. You have helped walk me through some of my darkest times. On two occasions, your music helped save me from Suicide. 1996, and 2010.
Music helps, Metallica helps and if those thoughts ever come back always, always speak to someone even if on the Internet. As James says, remember that you are not alone!!
Exactly the same 🤟 I was the only girl at my school listening to them, I had MetallicA written over my black leather school satchel! I am 46 now too! Love those guys!! Peace and love from Norway 🖤
I'm really grateful for being exposed to Metallica and their amazing songs and members! I'm only 18 and have listened to these guys for a year and I'm glad i did. James, Kirk, Lars, and Roberto are super chilled guys who love to rock out and make music. I'm at the darkest point in my life and I'm still battling my demons of depression gender dysphoria and anxiety, but listen to whiplash or this song for example has helped me feel good about myself a little bit. I got inspired by Kirk and James to start my own band and learn how to play the guitar. Thank you James, Kirk, Lars, and Roberto for helping me survive another day.
I'm 19, only been a fan since 2021. The fact that I get to witness new Metallica as it comes out even though they're 40 years into their career is amazing. And it's great quality, too. I'm all for it!
Just turned 19 in November, and Metallica has been my favorite band from Middle School and my High School years. I just wish we had one of there songs as class song instead of something newer.
I cannot figure out the negativity that I've read about this new release. This whole album rocks big time. I'm very glad that every song is not like Puppets over and over again. I love this band. I love the black album. So f'ing what.
Yeah. I was disappointed with Justice and Black albums. They seemed to be struggling (I thought) after Cliff's passing, but they are coming back. And honestly...now that I've grown up, their Justice and Black albums are good too.
This is the best and most passionate and organic Metallica has sounded since a long time ago. The groove, the amazing vocals, battering drums, bluesy solos, tight bass, the fire is once again real and genuine, the boys are back.
@@iestyndavies7287 didn't dig the last album so much, neither the soundwriting nor production, seemed a bit chopped, cut and glued pieces that didn't quite have a common thread that makes a song sound good. Some good riffs but not a lot good songs to go back to. This on the other hand strikes right from the beginning, at least for me.
This song is a really underrated and probably the best songs ever to be spoken by words. It has so much meaning and this song brought me to tears because it spoke to me. I remember the day where i had that knife to my leg contemplating it but this song came just in time. This song means so much to me. It helped me get through school with social media bullying and harassing me that i just tune everyone out and listen to this. Cant wait to get my guitar back and cover this. It's a beautiful and meaningful from the heart song. (RU-vid don't censor this video. People need to hear this. Sure,Cancel some popular youtubers for swearing barely once but sensor a music video. :/)
I freaking love this, everybody thinks that metal is just Satanism and alcohol, but guys, Metallica are literally creating support content for everyone in a dreadful situation, i just freaking love them
If it wasnt for metallica helping me through the traumas i endured in the foster system as a kid, and being lucky enough to have a guitar in my hands from a dear friend i wouldnt be a guitarist for my own band today. Live for the shred 🤘
It's so surreal to hear new Metallica everytime they put out something new , I have been a HARDCORE fan since 88 , they have been a HUGE part of my life for 35 years at this point......love the song , April can't come fast enough!
Right there with you pal, though a couple years later (90). I was just thinking today while waiting for this song to drop that way back in the day, I didn't even think this far ahead to imagine getting new music out of them in 2023! I simply didn't even look that far into the future. I'm so grateful that I can still feel like a kid again when they drop new music. I always have to listen to new Metallica alone. It's that special to me. Other bands, the room could be full and I wouldn't care.
You can hear James' voice changed a bit, but that's not a bad thing at all. It perfectly fits this song, and i really hope there will be more songs like this one
That's because his voice is back. I feel like he lost a sound a bit through the 2000s. He's back on track this decade for sure. Reminds me of his sound on Load and ReLoad.
I’ve been a Metallica fan since I was a little kid these guys absolutely amazing artists……. But I have the one request I know will fall on deaf ears if there ever comes a day they decide they’re done I want one more pure speed thrash metal album from Metallica!!!!!!!! Hopefully I’m not the only one and I know they’ve still got one in them
Oh my God... I'm 51...war veteran...listening Metallica for the last 30+ years...this is mind blowing...thanks God that you exist...thanks for your music...(still) giving me the chills listening to your music...God bless you...keep on rocking!
I lost my best friend to suicide, four years ago this May. He was the one that introduced me to Metallica. He played the drums, and I picked the guitar and we had dreams of starting a band with some of our other friends. Suicide should not be a taboo topic in our world any longer. Much love to everyone out there 🧡🧡🤘🤘
Mental health is perhaps the most important thing we're simply not taught about. How do you learn about ANYTHING without careful study? You brush your teeth everyday, you eat everyday, you should STUDY everyday. Even if it's one page in a book or 30 second video. So much powerful information here on RU-vid alone that can change people's lives for the better.
You can tell everything what you want, but MetallicA, they are gods. It’s not just metal band. Fates of this guys was written by gods and they mission was give this world best music. They did it, they do it and they will be do it.🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
This song couldn't have come at a better time. I've been struggling severely. And this band, my favorite band, always saves me. I'm in tears. Metallica always comes at the greatest times ❤️❤️🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Whatever you're dealing with, I hope you find your peace. I have found mine through my dark times as well... and always listening to Metallica! God bless you.
Thank you! Been a fan since 1985! Lost my 17 year old Son to suicide in 2012. He was a huge Metallica fan also, wish he was still here to listen! Rock on!!!
I turned 19 in 2012. Lost my dad to addiction-related issues in 2006. He was more into Queen and Scorpions, granted, but safe to say we were both into Rock/Metal. The Metallica Family is with you. We're united forever. Through all the rough times and all the great times. Rock on 🤘
"Isolate and fight your mind Telling you 'you're left behind'" That hit inside really hard for me. Thank you Metallica for once again releasing the best music there is for me in these days.
I took care of my mother for two years. She died in my arms. after that I wanted to throw myself in front of a train. I managed to overcome the darkness that day. And called an ambulance. they took me to a clinic. 21 weeks later I was released. Now I'm listening to this song and it describes exactly my experience... It's never too late to ask for help.This song touches me a lot...Thanks a lot Mr. James Hetfield....
I feel you. You are a truly genuine character. Taking care of your sorry mother so long and still grieving for her loss so much while standing on the edge of misery. Between all the comments yours made an impression on me. Good luck to you.
Sorry about your Ma. Thats a rough thing to go by. I feel it man, I'd do anything for my Mom. I really would, and it worries me as we all get older and I realise that she's not gonna be around forever. Same with Dad. After what a lot of my friends went through, I feel truly blessed I had good loving parents growing up, who took the time to at least try and raise me right (Hey, there where mistakes, but all made from a position of love, I turned out OK, I think.). Hope your lifes at a more peaceful place now. Good work getting help. Theres no sin in asking for help.
I remember years ago; parking my car and sitting under our cities bridge. The scariest thing about it was that IT WASNT SCARY. Genuinely struggling people will understand. Jumping off felt like a warm, comforting way out. It looked so nice compared to continuing on with the shit situation I was in. Years later I look back and feel so grateful I got back in the car and drive off. James’ lyrics are always so good. Great song too.
🤘💙 Last summer I was starving myself to death, not exactly consciously, but from depression and anxiety. I'm always going to love metallica, music in general, there's just so much magic in the messages

@@Kyriakoskarystinos that may be true, but I have seen them live last year and he sounded great! Obviously the performance was a little edited in post before publishing, but those were only minor corrections. You can definitely tell his voice has improved over the last few years.
We lost a coworker last week to suicide. The timing of this powerful song/message for me is impeccable. I have been a loyal Met fan since Kill em all was a new album. Throughout the years their songs have given me both gravity in my own issues and the feeling that we are not alone in this life, or thereafter.
I've lost 3 coworkers to suicide. Two of them were in their 20s and the other one in his 50s. I know how they did it, too. I don't think we can even grasp the courage that takes. But it's such a sad thing, an act that takes mere seconds or a minute and has ramifications for decades. For a time I was terrified that someone even closer to me would do it, like a family member. That hasn't happened thankfully, but you just never know. I don't think about it that much anymore, but there was a time when I was really afraid my brother would do it, and my dad, because they are struggling with life. I've struggled most of my life too and thought about suicide, and lately one of my sisters is struggling.
Music is the best thing. I lost my cousin who was like my brother. He watched me being born. He was 5 years older than me and took himself out when he was 25. It still haunts me, hell I wake up thinking a lot of days would be a great day to die, but I keep on
Damn. I’ve been thinking about it too. Life is just so fucking hard for some which includes me. I have family, pets and a son. If it wasn’t for them I’d get myself some heroin and OD. They’re literally the reason why I don’t do it.
My best friend commited suicide in 2014. Whenever someone mentions that's how they feel, nobody takes them seriously. I wish I was there that night, but instead it was just a bunch of idiots who ignored his cry for help. They all left for the night, and noone heard from him. 2 days later his girlfriend found him hanging in his closet. I support the songs message. Love you guys and your music. Always will
I was in a therapy group a bunch of years ago and one of the newer members ended up hanging himself. No warning signs at all. He had all of us fooled. Whatever was eating him up inside finally won and hopefully he found the peace in death he was looking for.
I've been having really rough days. This is just like medicine: it has the ability to heal, as a subterfuge. Thank you, Metallica, the drop really saved my day.
Been there...my wife committed suicide 6 years ago. Had many Army buddies go that route and been there myself...the world is better with you in it man. It's hard somedays to see that but it's true. Keep on keeping on 🤘
I agree, medicine for the soul. Metallica music has helped me get through some really dark times since the eighties. To all who have lost someone they love to suicide I wish you peace.
@@deathevokation1017 I’m fully aware, and for the record, it’s called a figure of speech. A simile, if you will. The use of the word ‘like’ should have given it away. I didn’t think I’d actually need to qualify it.
what good times when I was listening to this song I heard it for the first time in the 86s I am currently 900 years old and I cannot stop listening to this song to this day
This is Ride The Lighting Metallica with a blitzkrieg pace, but with polished production. RTL was all about war, the death penalty, the old testament and also suicide. Sreaming Suicide is another song with meaning. Love this track!
Lyrics: Welcome to this life Born into the fight Here to claim your dream Look you in the eye Patch the broken sky Craving dopamine Then my voice appears Teaching you of fears Are you good enough? You don’t recognize Head is full of lies You should just give up Listen well, better listen well Listen well, better listen well Don’t ever speak my name Remеmber you’re to blame Keep mе inside Keep me inside My name is suicide Curse another day Spirit locked away Punish and deprive Hate to be awake Living a mistake More dead than alive Then a voice appears Whisper in your ears “You are good enough” Throwing down a rope A lifeline of hope Never give you up Listen well, better listen well Listen well, better listen well Don’t ever speak my name Remember you’re to blame Keep me inside Keep me inside My name is suicide Terrified in sleepless nights Caught in spotlight dead to rights Isolate and fight your mind Telling you you’re left behind My lying voice inside Keeps drinking cyanide And no more can you run Into the sun Terrified, sleepless nights Caught in spotlight dead to rights Isolate and fight your mind Telling you you’re left behind And now you speak my name You’ve given back the blame Keep me deep inside Don’t you keep me inside Screaming suicide Now that I’m exposed inside Shined a light on cyanide I’m no longer needed here Now you've faced your biggest fear this albums shaping up to be pretty damn good..
As someone whos under the age of 20 i can confirm gen z people even like rock too, especially some with meaning and how it talks about how suicide affects the human body, so thanks metallica for writing this song.
