Metallica - Fade To Black

© 1984 Blackened Recordings

Life, it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters, no one else

I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel

Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now he's gone

No one but me can save myself, but it's too late
Now I can't think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye
Goodbye

I lost my mom at 18, I have a good life now at 43. My younger years were an incredible struggle but I've made something of myself fortunately. This song has lived in my mind all these years, and it will until I'm gone. Great music.

James is finally getting recognition for the great rhythm player he is. Maybe one day people will start to better appreciate his voice. Not to mention the writing. For those that don’t play I can tell you it’s infinitely harder to play rhythm and sing than it is to play leads and sing. He’s an immense talent.

Man after all these years this song is still a masterpiece

Life, it seems, will fade away
Drifting further, every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters, no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free
Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly loss, this can't be real
I cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness, taking dawn
I was me, but now he's gone
No one but me
Can save myself
But it's too late
Now I can't think
Think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though
It never existed
Death greets me warm
Now I will just say goodbye
Bye...

[jamiesmith]

One of the best Metallica songs EVER ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[kiralevenson]

I was a dancer for seven years, they used to call me "Mandatory Metallica".
This, and One, were my favorite.
The music is so climactic. I was a real dancer, so I'd hit all of my huge dance moves on all the highest sections.
Men used to propose to me when I danced to Metallica and Tool, lol.

At my lowest point this song brought me strength every time I hit rock bottom I said no I'm turning the tables Hetfields voice In my mind pushed me to carry on

[wlnbnpi]

Brought this album back in 84 when it was released aged 19 years old . A timeless classic album and I still have the vinyl copy I bought 40 years ago a pure gem 😊

[samhorner]

Puts me in a great mood after all these years

[SteveDenyer-riuc]

Been listening to Metallica for 34 years, this song still blows me away

[Blueeyesbabygirl]

To my family please play this at my funeral someday when i'm a old woman before cremated because by then i lived a full life.

[stevenschierling]

Always as fuckin EPIC as ever! Sad, mad, hurt, happy, hopeful, lost, found, pride, acceptance, the list goes on and a piece of history for me and for you. And....Justice For All!

[Hiltonliveparanormalnews]

Classic album for a classic era! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

[johnnyhoover]

Blasted this song in my truck as a teenager, now at 53 it hits me in a different way. It use to remind me of my youth, now it makes me contemplate my mortality.

[justinkrauss]

Song hits home every time I listen to it...I was deep in addiction for 15 years or so one the hardest things I ever had to do was to get off of it all now I have a beautiful loving family! Just never give up there's always a light at the end of that dark tunnel!

[jane.doe.is.hostile]

I hate it that life is so unfair. My husband died from a drug overdose 3 months ago. He left me alone in this cruel world. Still, I refuse to give up. I salute you Metallica

[luciferiamoon]

Separated from my family 47 years later my Mother passed before I could reunite with her. Found out she loved Metallica, I find a special connection with her through this song. Metallica was a long time favorite from adolescents on.
