Song lyrics
Feel no pain, but my life ain't easy
I know I'm my best friend
No one cares, but I'm so much stronger
I'll fight until the end
To escape from the true false world
Undamaged destiny
Can't get caught in the endless circle
Ring of stupidity

Out for my own, out to be free
One with my mind, they just can't see
No need to hear things that they say
Life is for my own to live my own way

Rape my mind and destroy my feelings
Don't tell me what to do
I don't care now, 'cause I'm on my side
And I can see through you
Feed my brain with your so called standards
Who says that I ain't right
Break away from your common fashion
See through your blurry sight

Out for my own, out to be free
One with my mind, they just can't see
No need to hear things that they say
Life is for my own to live my own way

See they try to bring the hammer down
No damn chains can hold me to the ground

Life is for my own to live my own way

This song adds an element of hope to the album "Life's for my own to live my own way..." and appears to glorify rebellion and combat loneliness "One with my mind they just can't see"... which seems very helpful for modern teens. The music works with the vocals in this song and seems to follow it, which to me seems to give the impression that the rest of the world seems to attach itself to the 'revelation' that the vocals are giving out. Also, this song is very realistic, and makes sure people are not too 'out there' to listen to the suddenly transcendant "Creeping Death". This entire album is a work of genius! The fact that Metallica lost its former glory after 'Master of Puppets' makes me wonder if it was actually the late Cliff Burton who was the mastermind behind the band...

FUERA DE MI DUEÑO, FUERA PARA SER LIBRE
UNO CON MI MENTE, SOLO NO LO PUEDEN VER
NO NECESITO ESCUCHAR LAS COSAS QUE DICEN
LA VIDA ES PARA MI PROPIA VIVENVIA, MI PROPIO CAMINO

Yeah, this song completely knocks me out...
-I know I'm my best friend
This song is another of their victims. It hasn't been played enough...
But nice to know I'm not the only one who likes it
