Song lyrics

Send "One" ringtones to your cell

I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to 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 of 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 too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh 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

Darkness 
Imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight 
Taken my speech 
Taken my hearing 
Taken my arms 
Taken my legs 
Taken my soul 
Left me with life in hell

Send "One" ringtones to your cell

23 posts	I think this is their best song and ...And Justice For All was their best album, second being Master of Puppets. Their new stuff... If you listen to it, it's alright, I think, it's grown on me, but when you compare it to what they've done before, it's utter pish :S

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I'm confused about Rockin Ducks meaning for the song. I knew it was about war, but where did you get that he did morse code and the nurse cut off his life support? But otherwise, I undestood everything else... ps, this song is not like Fade to Black, but if you would have noticed, for the 2nd to 4th cd, the 2nd song is the CD's title, the last song is the instrumental and the 4th song is the "slow song". Coincidence? not with Metallica's talent.

2,913 posts	well pinhead i have the clip and it tells you the whole story, if you saw it then the part where he like shakes his head and he remembers his father teaching him the moris code so he does it and then there is this military guys understand wat he is saying which is to kill him and so the nurse does so. thats about it the clip is sad man it just gives me the wierd sad feeling each time i watch it imagining myself in his position shit man!

104 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal ok listen up! One is a fucking amazing song!!!! i love the ways it starts slowly and then becomes heavy and it has 3 solos!!!!!! COOL!!! the meaning of the song is amazing and it is defintitely a sad song the clip is perfect for the song, but i think they put too much speech that u cant hear the tune a lot but it was important to make u understand the mans story if u want to know everything about this song and all other metallica songs, go to www.encymet.com they have explanations for all metallica songs korn's version sucked i didn't like it One IS similar to Fade To Black but anyway they are both fucking amazing but Master Of Puppets is the best one i wanted to say One is number One but Master Of Puppets is better then fade to black then one One is the first song i learnt on guitar it is so easy to play the beginning One is the best song in ...And Justice For All i give up! all songs in the first 5 albums r fucking amazing but load, reload and st. anger SUCK!!! dont u agree?

14 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Absolutely no comment about this song.... I think this is the best song ever played live on stage !!! It takes you to another world really !! Once on a concert Metallica did what they always do in concerts they act that the concert is finnish then they come back... so once they did it but they didnt play one yet... so i was like it's impossible they didn't play One yet... then they did it again James was saying thank you for coming all... I was like OMG they did not play One it's impossible... I stayed coz i was sure they have to play One even though some people were leaving... so they came back for 2nd time and they played One it was awesome absolutely !

10 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Great song by Metallica, I agree it's not the best, but one of the best. It would be hard to decide what is their best song. And for those who are bitching about St.Anger, i recomend seeing Some kind of Monster movie, it might clear some things for you. They went through tough sh..t to do this album and after over 20 years they still kick ass. They are Heavy Metal icons. And it was 3 of them that made the album. Some people still don't know that Jason is not there anymore, which is funny to me, fans?? lol Their new bassist is great too. Not much input on the new album, but he's a rookie so we shouldn't expect too much. Anyways, Metallica rulez and nothing else matters... We all know it
