Sad But True Lyrics - Metallica
Review The Song (98)
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
They
They betray
I'm your only true friend now
They
They'll betray
I'm forever there
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true
Sad but true
You
You're my mask
You're my cover, my shelter
You
You're my mask
You're the one who's blamed
Do
Do my work
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do
Do my deeds
For you're the one who's shamed
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true
Sad but true
I'm your dream
I'm your eyes
I'm your pain
I'm your dream
I'm your eyes
I'm your pain
You know it's sad but true
Hate
I'm your hate
I'm your hate when you want love
Pay
Pay the price
Pay for nothing's fair
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who took you there
Hey
I'm your life
And I no longer care
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your truth, telling lies
I'm your reason alibis
I'm inside, open your eyes
I'm you
Sad but true
I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
They
They betray
I'm your only true friend now
They
They'll betray
I'm forever there
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true
Sad but true
You
You're my mask
You're my cover, my shelter
You
You're my mask
You're the one who's blamed
Do
Do my work
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do
Do my deeds
For you're the one who's shamed
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true
Sad but true
I'm your dream
I'm your eyes
I'm your pain
I'm your dream
I'm your eyes
I'm your pain
You know it's sad but true
Hate
I'm your hate
I'm your hate when you want love
Pay
Pay the price
Pay for nothing's fair
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who took you there
Hey
I'm your life
And I no longer care
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your truth, telling lies
I'm your reason alibis
I'm inside, open your eyes
I'm you
Sad but true

The Reality we can't accept | Reviewer: Manish | 3/17/13
Hetfield is talking about the bitter side of reality, such as your brothers betray you, and you only have yourself. The indolence; you are giving the face of blame and shame, you are "the one" you are going do your works of scapegoat, and finally says that is inside you and that doesn't care too... OPEN YOUR EYES!!! SAD BUT TRUE!
METALLICA ROCKS!!! | Reviewer: Nelson | 12/10/12
Im a 15 year old boy from El Salvador and i think this songs about a multi personality person that do all kind of bad things with one personality but after the real him returns he thinks that his other personality Is another person and he starts to hate this other person and at the end he realizes that he is the person he has always hate "im inside open your eyes im you"

metallica | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/21/12
I'm 13 years old girl and I LOVE Metallica. I go to sleep with "Enter Sandman ", "All nightmare long" while asleep, wake up with " Turn the page ", go to school with "Struggle Within", "So What" at school, I go home with "St. Anger" "Fuel" while running and songs like "Nothing else matters" "Mama said" while working or drawing, all other song at free time. Once I had a scene in my life like from Sad but true ( when I have done something really bad and. I was sorry about that then.) Every metallica song has it's. place in life and morality. This guys will live. in my heart, wishvthem all the best, prosperity and long life. And James Hetfield is very hot even in his age :)

METALLICA 'ROCKS N' RULES'!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/13/12
I am a boy from India and I am 18. I llllove METALLICA so much. This song is about the darker side inside you, that helps you to cope the situation, when others hurt you.... When your fucking girlfriend sucks someone else.. this song gives you the power to show her the middle finger and find another sucker!! Metallica has always given me confidence, when I am depressed..
MY GIRLFRIEND IS A BITCH AND METALLICA ROCKS!!

Ahh yet another awesome song the meaning of which I must uncover. Hmm this sounds like it's about an animal inside of you, the subconsciousness, your self is but curious and less motivated. Or simply about life going through you, like an illness. Or a more trivial explanation is that it's yet another song about drugs, sigh.
Metallica are like gods | Reviewer: Metallica = Gods | 2/5/12
I'm 16 years old, i live in sweden and most of my friends listen either to Dubstep, Techno or New metal, i am the only one in my class(i think) who listens to metallica....
Metallica for life \m/
Greatest Band | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/12/11
Great to know there are kids who listen to the greatest band in history.
BTW this aint one of their best songs though. listen to ride the lightning,
Master of puppets and ....and justice for all
BTW St.Anger is shit
BEAST! | Reviewer: Toni | 8/21/11
This song is so freaking cool, I can't remember when I first time heard this, but its long time ago. Its so f-cking badass! The whole album aswell, every album Metallica have published, haven't been a dissapointment for me...I f-cking love every album.
Okay, When I listen to this song, immediately I start to think about my "other half", "other personality" or "darker side" which helps you maybe sometime, but also gives you orders to do something you really not want to do.
Especially when I hear this :
"I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
They
They betray
I'm your only true friend now"
Metallica, BEST BAND IN THE WORLD!
1. Metallica
2. AC/DC
