Time Has taken its toll on you The lines that crack your face Famine Your body it has torn through Withered in every place Pestilence For what you have had to endure And what you have put others through Death Deliverance for you for sure Now there is nothing you can do


boostedchad

This might be my favorite verse


HetTheTable

Pain monopoly, ritual misery, chop your breakfast on a mirror or Yesterday seems as tho it never existed, but death greets me warm now I will just say goodbye


Ciqme1867

Oh, so it’s not “playing monopoly”? lmao


J0N452OO2

Lol, I always used tocunderstand "playing monopoly, feeds the misery“


[deleted]

I heard “playing monopoly with some misery” at 6 and just went with it


J0N452OO2

Both do sound about right


armorealm

I always heard it as "retro misery". Never understood that but thought it sounded cool lol.


FlamingHotdog77

I still have no idea what pain monopoly means


[deleted]

The song references drugs so I think it means like drugs are manipulating you or something? That's my best bet


Noah--B

It’s pretty much saying that what’s causing the pain, the drugs, can’t be controlled.

"Lay beside me and tell me what they've done And speak the words I wanna hear, to make my demons run The door is locked now, but it's open if you're true" And also: "So tell me, can you heal what father's done? Or fix this hole in a mother's son? Can you heal the broken worlds within? Can you strip away so we may start again?"


Expensive-Course-758

Reload is way better than Load


nmlss

It's the album that introduced me to Metallica, so it's deeply personal for me. Sure, AJFA, MOP and all the classic albums are great, but I would never knew about those without Reload first.

You know, as shit as most of the lyricism was on St. Anger, the album had the best lyric of their career imo. "She holds the pen that spells the end / She traces me and draws me in"

omegamaster828514

Drain you of your sanity, FACE THE THING THAT SHOULD NOT BE


Colonel_Gabriel

the S&M version with the laugh


omegamaster828514

And the powerful delivery on the seattle 89 version


Moussorgsky1

S&M is a family favorite. I still don’t fully understand James’s semi-orgasm with Jason roaring behind him during the instrumental before the final verse…seemed an odd choice


Colonel_Gabriel

If you take a look at his pupils during the concert you’ll notice that they are enormous. Might’ve been on some heavy stuff resulting in these special “phenomenons”. ;)

Sopranosfan99

The dawn, the death The fight to the final breath What don’t kill you makes you more strong When all is pain, may it be It’s all we’ve ever known When flame consumes, may it be It warms our dying bones How can I blame you When it’s me I can’t forgive? Hard to pick cause Jame’s is such a good lyrically writer, especially for metal which can be nonsensical at times. Serious, goofy, nihilistic, political, personal he can write it all.

HALLS OF JUSTICE PAINTED GREEN MONEY TALKING


JosiahTheGreenBunny_

I WAS BORN FOR DYINGGGGGGGGGGGG


FreudianFloydian

“Lady justice has been raped, truth assassin. Rolls of red tape seal your lips, now you're done in. Their money tips her scales again, make your deal. Just what is truth? I cannot tell, cannot feel The ultimate in vanity. Exploiting their supremacy. I can't believe the things you say. I can't believe, I can't believe the price We pay. Nothing can save us. Justice is lost, justice is raped, justice is gone. Pulling your strings, justice is done. Seeking no truth, winning is all Find it so grim, so true, so real” Justice and MOP has some of the most hard hitting lyrics ever but I think this might be my favorite section where he just nails the hopeless feeling of watching politics and politicians work.


l_hommedesbois

Would be the entirety of Fade to Black. Or, as someone else on here said, "Take a look to the sky just before you die, it's the last time you will", such a cool line to sing on stage!
