Reviews for Fade to Black Lyrics

ok timmy first off ALL AND I MEAN ALL organized religion is utter bs... every religious deity has said they are the true god, allah, budda whatever... and what about greek gods zues, aries, apollo i guess all those followers are damned.. the bible and your religion is MAN MADE, i believe in a higher power but i dont think any religion has it right... now let me tell you something about music it is a way for people to express themselves and others who have a common bond to listen and feel what the artist are saying.. and did you forget the GOD GIVEN TALENT these musicians put on their albums its about art expression and entertainment i bet you wouldn't say anything if metallica was a christian rock band WE GUESS WHAT PAL LIFE ISNT A BED OF ROSES NOT EVERY LYRIC TO A SONG SHOULD BE A PRAISE TO GOD...LOL YOU HAVE BEEN BRAIN WASHED AND ITS SAD

If metallica wanted our money and what not, why would they want us to kill ourselfs? Timmy, your a retard who can't even spell 'metallica' right. Get out with your christian bullshit and just accept this song for what it is, a masterpiece.

most of the band members are catholic......alot of their songs have Christian undertones.....
i laugh at Christians who think metallica music is the devils work......
i laugh at all these silly people who enjoy it "AS" the devils work.....
they write very well about the human condition and that is that....

Timmy your a grade-A retarded worthless piece of shit. Metallic doesn't care bout money. To be a musician your writing music for yourself and your fans it's not bout money, fame etc... Your gettin your message out their. The lyrics are whatever you interpret them to be. Great song

All of you guys are wrong with this god vs. satan crap this song is about the jews in a camp during world war 2. The son talks about how much hell the camps for jews were. And the only end is dying think about it review the lyrics and think like you a hollacaust survive

This song is a very well thought out song and makes me feel very happy when I am depressed
I wish I had talent like all these major and minor bands,singers and what ever else there is I know if I truly wanted this talent I need to work for it.
Timy my foster dad is a pastor/preacher and He said if any music makes you commit suicide than well of course you need to go to an insane asylum. Although I'm atheist I know for a fact Satan is not in any way affiliated with songs and possbily the writers fuck u timy and ur god shit

listen u guys can start slaggin this timy chap but at the end of the day it's what he belives in u should't care for someone u don't no if he want's to be emo let him be one. look after yourself first i'm not an emo now but the song would get u down if u didn't listen to metallica but i love metallica so i don't get deppresed actually the song makes me fell a lot better at the of the day the song has a diffrent meaning to everyone so just leave them alone until then. one of the best songs they have so peace out homies.

This is better than reading some random tard's comment on youtube. You people NEED to chill and just enjoy the music. Its not like you know for sure why they wrote those lyrics, not even close I would say. EVERYONE can get depressed at a certain point of their life, so why go buckwild and start saying bullshit you are not even sure of. Yes, it is a very dark song. And that is what metal bands do: write stuff about war, suicidal tendencies, sex...

And lol at the timy tard preaching in a comment section. Metallica is one of the few bands (cant really compare em to any other-they are the best there is) that put their own flavour to each and every song they write. 100% originality. Even death magnetic, which was expected to be just a commercial band album, turned out to be a masterpiece, still keeping their touch. I sincerely think that Metallica just writes stuff for their fans' sake...they dont want your money. Please dont give em a bad name, remember they are the Metal giants.

Ya know...I love this song. I love a lot of their other songs too, cuz they get me through tough times. I'm 13. And a girl. And I do agree with both all you people and Timy. Although Metallica CAN'T care for each and everyone of their fans, they try their best to be the best that they can be. And its insulting to me that you would say that to them and judge them and you don't even know them!!

Read the lyrics, Look at the world that is falling down around all of us. You'll begin to realize that just about every metal song has a key simularity. They're warning you of the ones that are manipulating and controlling you minds to make you think LIFE is suppopsed to be this way. Dont believe me,, okay thats fine just think about it..

Timy i applaud you. Well done.
Youve gotten over a ten on the asshole scale. Lets see, i happen to have ADHD myself and no i am not oppressed by demons. Theres two possibilities for your problems, one: you were never formally diagnosed so you cant say something you never had is gone. Two: if you do have them congratz. Youve fallen victim to the placebo effect. Youre a paranoid fuck who cant accept the fact thay we are the shit of the world and noone cares. If your god brought some foul creation like us to destroy the world, wouldnt he just wipe us off the face f the earth? Thats what your type said about Y2K but it never happened.
You probably think im aome ignorant fuk, but youre wrong. Ive tried every fucking religion andnpractice buddy, buddhism, judiasm, christianity, everything. Not once did i feel delivered. Ive come to accept the fact that when we die, noone cares. No god cares about you, or else hed make this existence perfect, no jesus suffered for your sins, bs, i suffer the consequences of my own actions. Sp laugh it up and pray good little church noy, ypuve just wasted your existence.

Here is my take, for some of us we suffer from ptsd, that means post traumatic stress disorder, even though I love this song the evnts that led up to my ptsd has caused me to live a failry meaningless life. I was once very strong in my beliefs and feel that if the topic is suicide then whoever posts has aright to say what they will.
For me Life is hell it is misery it is pain, its constant remebering of the events that changed my life forever, its about sadness and grief that is unresolved about tears that don't heal and finding no person who can relate.
My life has been one of enduring suffering, so to those who enjoy your life, don't label us nutjobs or insane becuase you never know when a tradgedy will claim your happiness, when tradgedy may befall one of your loved ones. Life seems indiscriminate in how it chooses to destroy, I find no real purpose in life no real hope and damn sure no more meaning, I am a coping suicidal person becuase of my faith, it is all that has stayed my hand from pulling the trigger, or my feet from taking the plunge, a header into oblivion and judgement.

Hi Timmy, you idiot.
First of all, having some sort of depression is normal, since it is one of the most common deseases - more than half the people suffer from it. By turning to your stupid illusional god, you, smart guy, had become dellsional, which is far worse than bipolar. Second of all, I am an ATHEIST, and I am a proud one at that, and I am an essayist and lyricist working with one of the best Bulgarian prog metal bands, writing works of 'hell' or whatever, making people lose the right path and such bullshit... But you know, religious people had killed, tortured and 'justly' murdered those like me for millennia. What fucking right do you have to judge us, our art, our belief, when your desire for the world to be ugly, is making the world ugly (Nietzsche). So go ahead and crucify yourself so that your soul goes to heaven or something... best of luck on your journey!

I think jla makes a good point, if you're not suicidal then it's just a good song.
If you're a nutjob like I am then you tend to view it differently, but that is not Metallica's fault, that's my deal

I am bipolar & this was basically my theme song, exactly how I felt, during a big depression recently. It is incredible how songs have totally different meanings depending on your mood (or my mood at least).
I am "out of it" now & it doesn't represent me anymore, I enjoy it more than I feel it I guess?

i dont want to be one to get on here and fight over the internet like a bunch of idiots, but heres what i think....all the arguing is dumb thats not what this was for, i read someones post about how even if you did die they didnt know you blah blah...heres the thing you dont know the person your arguing with, so why bother arguing.....now heres what think about the song.....its a very good mellow song and when im upset about things i can listen to it and begin to feel much better, so as far as the song making you suicidal....no. and timmy quit trying to preech your religious bullshit, if this song makes you suicidal then maybe your possessed be the demons you call your god.
