Eye of the Beholder Lyrics


Do you see what I see?
Truth is an offence
Your silence for your confidenceDo you hear what I hear?
Doors are slamming shut
Limit your imagination
Keep you where they mustDo you feel what I feel?
Bittering distress
Who decides what you express?Do you take what I take?
Endurance is the word
Moving back instead of forward
Seems to me absurdDoesn't matter what you see
Or into it, what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I sayIndependence limited
Freedom of choice is made for you my friend
Freedom of speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exceptionDo you fear what I fear?
Living properly

Truths to you are lies to meDo you choose what I choose?
More alternatives
Energy derives from both the plus and negativeDo you need what I need?
Boundaries overthrown
Look inside to each his ownDo you trust what I trust?
Me, myself and I
Penetrate the smokescreen
I see through the selfish lieDoesn't matter what you see
Or into it, what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I sayIndependence limited
Freedom of choice is made for you my friend
Freedom of speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exceptionDo you know what I know?
Your money and your wealth
You silence just to hear yourselfDo you want what I want?
Desire not a thing
I hunger after independence
Lengthen freedom's ringDoesn't matter what you see
Or into it, what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I sayIndependence limited
Freedom of choice is made for you my friend
Freedom of speech is words that they will bend
Freedom no longer frees youDoesn't matter what you see
Or into it, what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say

Metallica is an American metal band formed in 1981 in Los Angeles, California, United States when drummer Lars Ulrich posted an advertisement in The Recycler. Metallica’s line-up originally consisted of Ulrich, rhythm guitarist and vocalist James Hetfield, and lead guitarist Dave Mustaine. Mustaine was later fired due to problems with alcoholism and drug addiction - he went on to form the band Megadeth. Exodus guitarist Kirk Hammett took his place. Metallica has been through several bassists, including Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton (who died in a bus crash while the band was on tour), and Jason Newsted. The current bassist is Robert Trujillo, who joined in 2003.

Metallica’s early releases included fast tempos, instrumentals, and aggressive musicianship that placed them as one of the “big four” of the thrash metal sub-genre alongside Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax. The band earned a growing fan base in the underground music community and critical acclaim, with the 1986 release Master of Puppets described as one of the most influential and “heavy” metal albums. The band achieved substantial commercial success with Metallica (1991), which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. With this release the band expanded its musical direction resulting in an album that appealed to a more mainstream audience.

In 2000, Metallica was among several artists who filed a lawsuit against Napster for sharing the band’s copyright-protected material for free without the band members’ consent. A settlement was reached, and Napster became a pay-to-use service. Despite reaching number one on the Billboard 200, the release of St. Anger alienated many fans with the exclusion of guitar solos and the “steel-sounding” snare drum. A film titled Some Kind of Monster documented the recording process of St. Anger.

Metallica has released nine studio albums, two live albums, two EPs, twenty-two music videos, and forty-four singles. The band has won nine Grammy Awards, and has had five consecutive albums debut at number one on the Billboard 200, making Metallica the only band ever to do so. The band’s 1991 album, Metallica, has sold over 15 million copies in the United States, and 22 million copies worldwide, which makes it the 25th-highest-selling album in the country. The band has sold an estimated 100 million records worldwide as of the release of their latest album Death Magnetic. As of September 2008, Metallica is the fourth highest-selling music artist since the SoundScan era began tracking sales on May 25, 1991, selling a total of 51,136,000 albums in the United States alone.

Metallica was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009. Metallica organised a brand new festival. They called it Sonishpere. Several cities in Europe were chosen by the band.
