Metallica – Frantic (Official Music Video)

Title Frantic |
If I could have my wasted days back
Would I use them to get back on track?
Stop to warm at Karmas burning
Or look ahead, but keep on turning?
Do I have the strength
To know how I’ll go?
Can I find it inside
To deal with what I shouldn’t know?
Could I have my wasted days back
Would I use them to get back on track?
You live it or lie it!
You live it or lie it!
My lifestyle determines my deathstyle
My lifestyle determines my deathstyle
Keep searching, keep on searching
This search goes on, this search goes on
Keep searching, keep on searching
This search goes on, this search goes on

I’ve worn out always being afraid
An endless stream of fear that I’ve made
Treading water full of worry
This frantic tick tick talk of hurry
Do I have the strength
To know how I’ll go?
Can I find it inside
To deal with what I shouldn’t know?
Worn out always being afraid
An endless stream of fear that I’ve made
You Live it or lie it
You Live it or lie it

My lifestyle (birth is pain)
Determines my deathstyle (Life is pain)
A rising tide (Death is pain)
That pushes to the other side (It’s all the same)

Album St. Anger (2003) | Track 1
Genre Heavy Metal
“Frantic” is the opening track and second single by heavy metal band Metallica off their 2003 album St. Anger. This song, like many others on St. Anger, is about the band’s past struggles with addictions, particularly lead singer James Hetfield’s alcohol problem, for which he spent many months in rehab. The lyrics also draw on zen axioms, most notably the Buddhist concept of dukkha brought up by Kirk Hammett: “Birth is pain. Life is pain. Death is pain.” These lines may also be a reference to the Samhain song “Macabre” from their Initium album, as the band are fans of Glenn Danzig, Samhain frontman. Read more on Wikipedia Music
