King Nothing!!

So I stumbled on this song.. “Metallica - King nothing!”
Wow.. for the music and double wow for the lyrics!
Just when I thought metallica was at their pinnacle with “bleeding me” “low man’s lyrics” and similar others..I found this.

This song reminds me incoherently of so many people, but above all, of myself. No matter how fast you run; sooner or later you stop to think. To think, that why you started running in first place. To think, if this is really what you want. To think about all that you have left behind, in your madness to outrun everything.

Sometimes, I think, that no matter how fast I run, I still can’t make it, because I may be willing to work hard, but I don’t have that talent. And so, that leads me into a thought, if it’s still worth trying. I don’t want to give up just because “I think” I can’t do it and yet at the same time I do not want to lie to myself. Line between truth and excuse is so thin sometimes.

I’ve been on a break for a while. But I’ll be on my toes once again. Faster than ever. Just need to remember that “when things get really fast and feet starts burning like hell, the key to success is perseverance and the fact that no matter what, I should not look behind”. But I hope that at the end of all this, when I am stading atop that “dreamt glory” I just don’t become “King-Nothing”.

It’ll be waste of life and will.

Here is a song dedicated to “Me” because, it keeps my insanity inbounds, and makes me realize that nothing comes off by “show-off” and “ego”.

Metallica - King Nothing.

Wish I may
Wish I might
Have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied?
Dig for gold
Dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste
All the things you’ve chased

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there’s no one around

Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle’s crumbled
And you’re left with just a name

Where’s your crown King Nothing?
Where’s your crown?

Hot and cold
Bought and sold
A heart as hard as gold
Yeah! Are you satisfied?

Wish I might
Wish I may
You wish your life away
Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste
All the things you’ve chased

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there’s no one around

Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle’s crumbled
And you’re left with just a name

Where’s your crown King Nothing?
Where’s your crown?

Huh!

(Spoken)
I wish I may
I wish I might
Have this wish I wish tonight
I want that star
I want it now
I want it all and I don’t care how

Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish
You may regret it
Careful what you wish
You just might get it

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there’s no one around

Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle’s crumbled
And you’re left with just a name

Where’s your crown King Nothing?
No Nothing

No you’re just nothing
Where’s your crown King Nothing?
No you’re just nothing
Absolutely nothing

Off to never never land
