    Lyrics:
    Where do I take this pain of mine
    I run but it stays right by my side
    So tear me open and pour me out
    There's things inside that scream and shout
    And the pain still hates me
    So hold me until it sleeps
    Just like the curse, just like the stray
    You feed it once and now it stays
    Now, it stays
    So tear me open but beware
    There's things inside without a care
    And the dirt still stains me
    So wash me until I'm clean
    It grips you so hold me
    It stains you so hold me (yeah)
    It hates you so hold me (yeah)
    It holds you so hold me
    Until it sleeps (Until it sleeps)
    Until it sleeps
    So tell me why you've chosen me
    Don't want your grip, don't want your greed
    Don't want it
    I'll tear me open, make you gone
    No more can you hurt anyone
    And the fear still shakes me
    So hold me, until it sleeps
    It grips you so hold me
    It stains you so hold me
    It hates you so hold me (yeah)
    It holds you
    Holds you, holds you
    Until it sleeps (Until it sleeps)
    Until it sleeps (Until it sleeps, until it sleeps)
    I don't want it, I don't want it
    Want it, want it, want it, want it, no, woah-woah
    So tear me open but beware
    There's things inside without a care
    And the dirt still stains me
    So wash me 'til I'm clean
    I'll tear me open, make you gone
    No longer will you hurt anyone
    And the hate still shapes me
    So hold me until it sleeps
    Until it sleeps, until it sleeps
    Until it sleeps, until it sleeps

    The thing I love about this song is that you really see the range of James's voice. It starts out so soft and smooth, like it's gently caressing your ears. In the next moment it switches to something so raw and rageful, it's like sliding down 3 mile of gravel road. It's a beautiful thing, there's no-one quite like him. See also Hero of the Day for the same feel. (Another underrated gem that I regularly play on repeat.)

      Completely agree, I can understand the people that just love young, thrashy Metallica... But if they could broaden their horizon a bit for Load and Reload, with the great songs on them.... I think of the two albums like Stadium Arcadeum from RHCP. A great double album, but could have been edited into one amazing album with single after single like the Black album.

      Not trying to sound like a a know it all but thats called dynamic range. In music production dynamic range refers to volume. The range between the quietest and loudest sounds. If you just say range people will assume you mean pitch.

    As a Metallica fan who holds their 80s records in high regard: this is without a doubt one of their best songs. Load and ReLoad are criminally underrated records that, if compressed to one album containing the best material from both albums, would be an outstanding work of art.

      I happened to stumble upon your comment, and i feel exactly the same as you when you say they have a very spiritual side, one which i feel makes metallica different to most other bands. these guys had the whole "making a kickass song to pull em in again" thing down years ago, they were practically 'god like' in my teenage mind, now I see them as men with a story to tell, done beautifully through epic rock and chonky timeless riffs that will always have a place in my mind rent free lol. Love love love this band, they are like a category of music in their own right and equate to any drug, better than actually, and i find them excellent to cathartisise and channel emotions through, its music therapy and theyre the best

    The lyrics of the song, written by Hetfield, address his mother's battle with cancer, to which Hetfield's "it" refers. They can be seen as either describing the emotional pain he feels for the loss, or the physical pain his mother was feeling while she was ill.
    Both of his parents were Christian Scientists, and did not believe in medicine.
    The lyrics are also interpreted as dealing with anger issues. Hetfield's father, Virgil, died in late 1996, during Metallica's Load tour.

    I find it pretty adorable that people claim Metallica 'sold out' when Load/Reload was released. If they were in it solely for the money, they would've just produced another Black Album record out of popular demand and it would've sold massively.
    But they chose not to because they wanted to express themselves in a radically different way. Considering that their tour schedule was absolutely gigantic a couple of years earlier; it required playing the same songs over and over, night after night for years on end. It's pretty understandable that it felt right to them to do something different. And I think that's more a sign of artistic integrity than just making another Black Album in my opinion.

      ***** Everybody is entitled to an opinion on Metallica's change in musical direction, but that also doesn't give anyone the right to expect the band to mould themselves to their own preferences and expectations. The only expectations the band should be moulding to are their own. That's the entire point of not selling out.

I didn't get the lyrics back then, my native aint English. Yet it struck me so hard, my world has changed i might say. There was a music channel at the time, Alanis Morissette's Ironic was number one, and this one was second. Funnily, i liked them both, one after the other.

      I remember when this crap came out. It was a lame nirvana Copy. Metallica was always against make up and spandex. Then this comes out- heart shaped box video, make up and spandex, one bass drum on Lars, short hair. They make a grunge album to be hip, and grunge itself was already dead. It was probably pants c major de. Now, I understand that your artistic taste can change but then kill the band and go a different route. Because no one is going to their concert to listen to this. They go to shout : “die!”

      I Actually think that Load is Kind of Overrated. A lot of people Consider Load better then Reload, and Death Magnetic. I mean don't get me Wrong, Load is a Decent album but it dies down for the second half. I feel like Reload is a lot better, Songs like The Unforgiven II, Low Man's Lyric, Fixxxer, Etc. I only really like Until it Sleeps and The House Jack built off Load.

    I hate that people rip on Metallica for this album. I'm a huge fan of their old stuff, Damage Inc. is probably my favorite song by them, but to act like they did a bad thing by not playing thrash metal forever is dumb. For on thing for a band to stay alive, they have to change with the people who listen to them. Secondly, they were getting older and you mellow out as you age. This is still good music even if its not the same as their old stuff.

    • @TheEpicLinkFreeman
      @TheEpicLinkFreeman 8 років тому +1

    I'd say this is the first album where Metallica didn't sound a whole lot different than all the other bands that were popular at the time. In the wake of grunge, many older bands were terrified of becoming irrelevant and desperately tried to cop the darker grunge/post-grunge sound and aesthetic. Metallica was obviously doing the same with Load. Fortunately for them, the band was big enough that they were able to weather those times successfully.
    And for the record, I really like this album, because I love the music of that era, be it Metallica or whoever. I'm glad they chased the trends with this one.

    I remember this era in rock music very well - the mid/late 90’s. Long hair was out, silk shirts and eyeliner were in. The rock scene of the last few years had been dominated by bands like the Pumpkins and Soundgarden, and everybody wanted a piece of that pie, even Metallica. Of course they had their own sound and always sounded like Metallica, but music videos like this one clearly tie the song to a specific era, where everybody was going for a certain look.

    This song gets to me in so many ways and most of those ways I can't even comprehend when listening, and feeling the music just take over me. I don't really know why people don't sit down and listen to unload and load and just feel it.

      You are officially awesome now. I like Load more though. But pretty soon I'll give reload another chance cause Where Wild Things Are is a awesome song. Load and St Anger are my favs from Metallica.

      Tyler Melton St. Anger was their worst cd ever. Load and Reload are ehh but Master of Puppets and Kill Em All will forever be the best work Metallica did. I do enjoy this song alot.

      What did they think especially of “Mama Said” from the Load album?
