Until It Sleeps -- Metallica

Where do I take this pain of mine  I run but it stays right by my side  So tear me open
and pour me out  There's things inside that scream and shout  And the pain still hates me So hold me until it sleeps  Just like the curse, just like the stray You feed it once
and now it stays  Now it stays   So tear me open but beware There's things inside
without a care And the dirt still stains me  So wash me until I'm clean

It grips you so hold me  It stains you so hold me  It hates you so hold me
It holds you so hold me  Until it sleeps  So tell me why you've chosen me
Don't want your grip, don't want your greed   Don't want it
I'll tear me open make you gone   No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me  So hold me, until it sleeps

It grips you so hold me  It stains you so hold me  It hates you so hold me
It holds you, holds you, holds you   until it sleeps (x4)
I don't want it, I don't want it, want it, want it, want it, want it, noo..
So tear me open but beware  There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me  So wash me 'till I'm clean  I'll tear me open make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone  And the hate still shames me  So hold me
until it sleeps   If you find some error in Until It Sleeps Lyrics,
Where do I take this pain of mine  I run but it stays right by my side

So tear me open and pour me out  There's things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me  So hold me until it sleeps  Just like the curse, just like the stray  You feed it once and now it stays   Now it stays  So tear me open but beware  There's things inside without a care  And the dirt still stains me  So wash me until
I'm clean  It grips you so hold me   It stains you so hold me  It hates you so hold me
It holds you so hold me   Until it sleeps  So tell me why you've chosen me
Don't want your grip, don't want your greed   Don't want it   I'll tear me open make
you gone  No more can you hurt anyone  And the fear still shakes me
So hold me, until it sleeps

It grips you so hold me  It stains you so hold me  It hates you so hold me
It holds you, holds you, holds you   until it sleeps (x4)
I don't want it, want it, want it, want it, want it,  So tear me open but beware
There's things inside without a care  And the dirt still stains me  So wash me 'till I'm
clean  I'll tear me open make you gone  No longer will you hurt anyone  And the hate
still shames me So hold me until it sleeps.                                        (sing365)

James Hetfield wrote this song about his mother who died from cancer. He was struggling with his mother's death and was looking for a way to cope with his loss and deal with the pain. It has come to mean much more to many people, who relate to the message of general internal pain and loss and the inability to make sense or cope with it.
