when i first started this blog months ago, a number of you asked me about the quotations i've used. . . this is where the quote on the left side of my blog is taken from, one of all-time my favourite Metallica songs. . . what the song really means i'll leave it to your own interpretation


Unforgiven II, by Metallica (1997)

Lay beside me, tell me what they've done
Speak the words I wanna hear, to make my demons run
The door is locked now, but it's open if you're true
If you can understand the me, then I can understand the you

Lay beside me, under wicked sky
Through black of days, dark of night, we share these pair of lives
The door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring, darker still
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining

What I've felt, What I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you

What I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?

Come lay beside me, this won't hurt I swear
She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again
she lay beside me, but she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring, darker still
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Dead sure she'll be there

What I've felt, What I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you

What I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you

. . . Or are you unforgiven too? (emphasis mine)
