Exploring themes of manipulation and internal conflict, this Metallica track delves into the darker aspects of human nature. The lyrics personify a controlling force that takes over one's life, symbolizing addiction, guilt, or self-deception. This entity claims to be both a friend and an enemy, offering false comfort while leading one astray. The repeated lines "I'm your dream, make you real" and "I'm your pain when you can't feel" highlight the paradoxical relationship between desire and suffering. Ultimately, the song underscores the harsh reality of being trapped by one's own vices and shortcomings. #InnerStruggle #Manipulation
Sad but True
Lyrics
Hello
Does it sound good out there?
I know, haha
So we're doing some shit here off the black album, I hope you got it
And I hope everyone has studied their lyrics very well
And are ready to sing loud as a fuck
'Cause we need some loud shit coming out of you
This is one of our happy tunes here
Sad but true
Hey (hey)
I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey (hey)
I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
They (they)
They'll betray
I'm your only true friend now
They (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)
You're my mask
You're my cover, my shelter
You (you)
You're my mask
You're the one who's blamed
Do (do)
Do my work
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do (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, yeah
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 (hate)
I'm your hate
I'm your hate when you want love
Pay (pay)
Pay the price
Pay, for nothing's fair
Hey (hey)
I'm your life
I'm the one who took you here
Hey (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
Uhh, thank you
