Nothing Else Matters..

Nothing Else Matters by Metallica

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters


Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

The Essence of our who we really are, TRUTH, is "so close no matter how far." Truth is the only thing that will never ever betray you. It will never hurt you. Hence, "forever trusting who we are." When you get in touch with that, you know with absolute conviction that "nothing else matters." Usually, some people who experience intense pains suffering will reach a point where the pain is so bad that they open up in a new way (never opened myself this way) thus getting in touch with TRUTH.. and knowing, or more accurately, FEELING with absolute conviction that nothing else matters but that.

This song will mean many different things to those who hear it, but we can probably all agree that it's beautiful. I am big fan of metal and this song is unbelieveably gorgeous. It's about being apart from someone you love, whether it be a significant other; a loving parent; a precious child; a trusted friend; etc. The person trusts the relationship s/he has with another, and trust is a precious, beautiful yet all-too-rare aspect of the human condition. GORGEOUS song.

So much has been debated on this magnificent song..I agree with the many that have explained it as a love song. It emphasizes the power of love and being true to yourself. In my opinion, it is about true friendship between two persons, but more then any other song it reminds me of the eternal friendship between human and the One who created them, God. Never care for what troubled people say or do, because so many people are troubled and blinded and reflect this on others. Self-reflection or starting to recognize your own imperfection can come to surface as a result of other people's judgments. Find yourself with help of others and when you experience this, try to help other troubled people and do not be misled by those same- or other people. God does not divide us, only humans do. When we seek trust we can find it in our friends and family, but especially in God and his only son, Jesus. Everyday we get a chance to renew ourselves, and starting to accept and understand other people's different view brings us closer to our personal liberation.
