Song lyrics
You just stood there screaming
Fearing no one was listening to you
They say the empty can rattles the most
The sound of your own voice must soothe you
Hearing only what you want to hear,
And knowing only what you've heard
You...you're smothered in tragedy,
And you're out to save the world

Misery!
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery!
There's much more to life than what you see
My Friend Of Misery!

You still stood there screaming!
No-one caring about these words you tell
My friend before your voice is gone
One man's fun is another's hell
These times are sent to try men's souls
But something's wrong with all you see
You...you'll take it on all yourself
(Remember), Misery loves company

Misery!
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery
There's much more to life than what you see
My Friend Of Misery!

Misery!
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery
There's much more to life than what you see
My Friend Of Misery
My Friend Of Misery!

You just stood there screaming, oh
My Friend Of Misery!

this songs talks about people who take everything on their shoulders. It describes pretty much how Jason Newstead felt with metallica. James and Lars did everything and never let Jason say his word (in 4 albums, he have only co-written Blackened, My Friend of Misery and Where the Wild Things Are). I hope my explanation is good (im not english too).

Anyway its good song.

I think the guitar makes thew song. Especially kirks solo - that is nasty. hands down And Lars is just sad on this one.

I really relate to this song. I feel like the emptycan who's got nothing inside and rattles the loudest. Kick ass solo; Bass is just fucking great, and the song itself tells a lot about me. I fucking love it. HANDS DOWN TO METALLICA

song hits the best in the part when everything just stops and then it starts so slowly but with such great melody it just blows my mind...you really have to be a genus to write such stuff

Words aren't enough do describe how I feel for this song, because I really really can relate to this. It's strange, I didn't realize it until I'd had the album for like three years and then one day it just hit me head on. Oh well, I might have changed a bit in those three years, but still... Anyway, it's a great song, the lyrics just make me shiver all over...the guitarr! the guitarr! the guitarr! Love the beautiful changes of rythm (Metallica really are the masters here...) and I'll say it again: the guitarr! the guitarr! the guitarr!
I worship you, Metallica. Hands so down.

i love the slow part its so amazing one of my fav songs

i love kirks solo
jason deosnt have the right to make this an instrumental coz he joined metallica he is not the leader of metallica and anyway like this its MUCH better even tho its dissapointing not to c an instrumental on this album
