That Was Just Your Life Lyrics

Metallica

Like a siren in my head that always threatens to repeat Like a blind man that was shoved into the speeding driver's seat Like a face that learned to speak When all it knew was how to fight
Like a misery that keeps me from just going out astray Like an illness that I'm about to waken from its state Contradiction, a premonition Now are the aids who I deny, I deny
I blind my eyes and try to force it all into place I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace I blind my eyes, I hardly feel it passing me by I open just in time to say goodbye
Almost like your life Almost like your endless fight Cursed, the day is long Realize you don't belong
Disconnect somehow Never stop complaining now Almost like your fight And there it went almost like your life
Like a wound that keeps on bleeding to remind me not to think Like a raging river, drowning when I only need a drink Like a poison that I swallow But I want the world to die
Like a release from a prison that I didn't know I was in Like a fight to live the past I'll bring the lethal way like I did Like a general without a mission Until the war will start again, start again
I blind my eyes and try and force it all into place I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace I blind my eyes, I hardly feel it passing me by I open just in time to say goodbye
Almost like your life Almost like your endless fight Cursed, the day is long Realize you don't belong
Disconnect somehow Never stop complaining now Almost like your fight And there it went almost like your life
Like a touch from hell I feel how hot that it can get if you get caught Like a strike from heaven that turns that key That brings you straight down to your knees
Like a touch from hell I feel how hot that it can get if I get caught Like a strike from heaven to reprieve That brings you straight down to your knees
Almost like your life Almost like your endless fight Cursed, the day is long Realize you don't belong
Disconnect somehow Never stop complaining now Almost like your fight And there it went almost like your life That was just your life

Correction not all wrong but for the most part wrong,

Metallica401

Your lyrics are waaaay off correct lyrics are "Like a nightmare that i must awaken from each day, like conviction, a premonition not worthy so i deny i deny." i dont feel like correcting all of them but the lyrics posted are all wrong, take em off or fix them this isn't the way Metallica wrote the lyrics.

JMnDC4eva

god i love this song...best off death magnetic i think, i cant stop listening to it

desmodeo

i think if it said "cracked" instead f "like" in the chorus,the sense of the song would be much stronger. Never the less, i think it's the best song in the album and the only one that really captures the feeling of the 4 firt records.

Shronik

quite liked it....a dying fire wants to smoke the world before it goes out !!!

Ardec

I think it's about a thief who regrets his addiction to steal.
