Presenter: Metallica
Album: Load
Lyrics:
Mama they try and break me

The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they've gone

They're off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you feel your names?
Can't you hear your baby's crying?
Mama they try and break me
Still they try and break me

S'cuse me while I tend to how I feel
These things return to me that still seem real

Now deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair

Don't want your aid
But the fist I've made
For years, can't hold or feel
No I'm not all me
So please excuse me
While I tend to how I feel

But now the dreams and waking screams
That everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
Can't you hear your baby's crying now?

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Can't you hear your names?
Can't you hear your baby's crying?

But now the dreams and waking screams
That everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
Can't you hear your baby's crying now?

Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try
Mama they try hey!
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try
Mama they try

    This song reminds me of my best Friend Max lewis the 3rd, who is over seas, enlisted as a Marine. The lyrics " the window burns to light the way back home " refers to when young men would go to war and their home towns would leave lamps/windows lit until they came home. Other parts refer to veterans with PTSD, soldiers who think " mama they try and break me " is about the trauma/stress of combat crying for their mothers and home. Whatever it means, you're the Hero of the day Max. Come home soon.

    Really? " Pop "? " Pop " music is that shit about drugs, parties, drinking, women, all the shit rappers and pop stars sing about now, save a few occasional" be yourself " songs. This song is about the despair and sadness of war.....tell me how in sam hell that makes this a " pop " metallica song.

    Because if i'm not mistaken, it has nothing to do with pop at all. It's a more sensitive song from a sensitive album that deals with alot of life's harder aspects and sadness. It's STILL METALLICA.

    I like this song, but i wish it was another band and not metallica. This is "pop-metallica" which is something metallica should never be.
