Metallica delves into the theme of resilience and defiance in the face of adversity in this powerful track. The repeated phrase, "Shoot me again, I ain't dead yet," serves as a bold declaration of the narrator's unyielding spirit, emphasizing their determination to stand strong despite being targeted or betrayed. The lyrics suggest a scenario where every attack only fuels the protagonist's resolve, as they metaphorically "spit back" at the challenges thrown their way. This song can resonate with anyone who has faced tough situations but refuses to be defeated or silenced, encouraging listeners to confront their obstacles head-on and rise above them.
Shoot Me Again
Lyrics
I won't go away
Right, right here, I stay
Stand silent in flames
Stand tall 'til it fades
Shoot me again, I ain't dead yet
Come on, shoot me again, I ain't dead yet
I said, shoot me again, I ain't dead yet
Come on, shoot me again, I ain't dead yet
Come on, shoot me again
Shoot me again, shoot me
Shoot me again, shoot me again
Come on, shoot me again
Shoot me again, shoot me
Shoot me again, shoot me again, come on
All the shots I take
I spit back at you
All the shit you fake
Comes back to haunt you
All the shots
All the shots
All the shots I take
What difference did I make?
All the shots I take
I spit back at you
I won't go away (with a bullet in my back)
Right, right here, I stay (with a bullet in my back)
Shoot me, shoot me
Shoot me, shoot me
I stand on my own (with a bullet in my back)
I'm stranded and sold (with a bullet in my back)
Shoot me again, I ain't dead yet
Go on, shoot me again, I ain't dead yet
Yeah, shoot me again, I ain't dead yet
Come on, shoot me again, I ain't dead yet
I said, shoot me again, shoot me again
Come on, shoot me again, shoot me again
Come on, shoot me again, shoot me again
Shoot me, shoot me again, shoot me again, yeah
All the shots I take
I spit back at you
All the shit you fake
Comes back to haunt you
All the shots
All the shots
All the shots I take
What difference did I make? (What difference did I make?)
All the shots I take
I spit back at you
Bite my tongue
Trying not to shoot back
No compromise
My heart won't pump the other way
Wake the sleeping giant
Wake the beast
Wake the sleeping dog
Don't let him sleep
Wake the sleeping giant
Wake the beast
Wake the sleeping dog
Don't let him sleep
Bite my tongue
Trying not to shoot back
All the shots I take
I spit back at you
All the shit you fake
Comes back to haunt you
All the shots
All the shots
All the shots I take
Hey, what difference did I make? (What difference did I make?)
Yeah, all the shots I take
I spit back at you
