METALLICA - Just a Bullet Away
| WRITTEN BY: | Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett, Trujillo |
| LÄNGE: | 07:11 |
| ALBUM: | Beyond Magnetic |
ZUM SONG: 'Just A Bullet Away' wurde durch das Leben und den frühen Tod von Alice In Chains Sänger Layne Staley inspiriert. Die Band hatte während der Death Magnetic aufnahmen sogar ein Foto von Staley im Studio hängen. James Hetfield sagte dazu:
“The theme of our new album is that we’re all gonna die sometime. Just like the poles of a magnet, some people are drawn to death and others are repulsed by it, but we all have to deal with it. Lyrically, it started as a bit of a tribute to Layne Staley and all those who’ve martyred themselves in the name of rock and roll. But it grew and evolved from there.”
“I know Jerry Cantrell quite well and learned about Layne through him… I could see some of the things Jerry went through to keep that band together. I started writing a song around a Layne Staley type – a rock ‘n’ roll martyr magnetized by death. Why did he choose that path, someone with such talent?”
Just A bullet Away ist aus den Demos von ‘Shine’ und ‘Holy Revolver’ entstanden, welche auch vor Albumrelease als Teaser auf der Metallica Website veröffentlicht wurden.

Just a Bullet Away
(Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett, Trujillo)All roads they lead to shame All drowning in the blame All reflections look the same In the shine of the midnight revolver All hide beneath a skin A hope so paper thin I'm at the door again And the shine of the midnight revolver Even the promise of danger has gone dull Staring down the barrel of a .45 Suck on the barrel Suck on the barrel Suck it 'til it's gone dry For all reflections look the same In the shine of the midnight revolver Redemption purify Will nothing satisfy The scars just multiply In the shine of the midnight revolver Twisting in apocalypse Death upon the fingertips Frigid metal touches lips And the shine of the midnight revolver 'Cause you lied Just a bullet away Just a bullet away from leavin' you Just a bullet away Stop the voices in my head Caressing death again Becomes the heroin Forbidden medicine Puts a shine on the midnight revolver Eternal borderline All the faces intertwine Oh God... now I see mine In the shine of the midnight revolver Even the promise of danger has gone dull Staring down the barrel of a .45 Suck on the barrel Suck on the barrel Suck... suck 'til it's dry For all reflections look the same In the shine of the midnight revolver Down In Misery Down In Misery Just a bullet away Just a bullet away from leavin' you Just a bullet away Stop the voices in my head All roads they lead to shame All drowning in the blame Reflections look the same In the shine of the midnight revolver All hide beneath a skin A hope so paper thin I'm at the door again And the shine of the midnight revolver Even the promise of danger has gone dull Staring down the barrel of a .45 Suck on the barrel Suck on the barrel Suck... suck 'til it's dry Do all reflections look the same In the shine of the midnight revolver 'Cause you lied Yes you lied Just a bullet away Just a bullet away from leavin' you Just a bullet away Stop the voices in my head |
