Bleeding me
Metallica feat. San Francisco Symphony with Michael Kamen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm diggin' my way
I'm diggin' my way to somethin'
I'm diggin' my way to somethin' better
I'm pushin' to stay
I'm pushin' to stay with somethin'
I'm pushin' to stay with somethin' better
I'm sowing the seeds
I'm sowing the seeds I take

I'm sowing the seeds I take for granted
This thorn in my side
This thorn in my side is from the tree
This thorn in my side is from the tree I've planted
It tears me and I bleed
And I bleed
Caught under wheels roll
I take the leash
I'm bleeding me
Can't stop to save my soul
I take the leash that's bleeding me
I'm bleeding me
I can't take it
Caught under wheels roll
Oh, the bleeding of me
Of me
The bleeding of me
Caught under wheels roll
I take the leash
I'm bleeding me
Can't stop to save my soul
I take the leash that's bleeding me
I'm bleeding me
I can't take it
Caught under wheels roll
Oh, the bleeding of me
Oh, the bleeding of me
I am the beast that bleeds the feast
I am the blood
I am release
Come make me pure
Bleed me a cure
I'm caught, I'm caught, I'm caught under
Caught under wheels roll
I take that lease
I'm bleeding me
Can't stop to save my soul
I take the leash that's bleeding me

It blows me away that so many people complained about this album when it came out. I remember people literally talking shit about how Metallica rolled over and how they'd never buy another Metallica album again. And I used to ride all over town on a mountain bike back then playing air guitar and beating the air drums to this album trying to figure out what the fuck was wrong with these people. This album kicks ass.

I relate this song to depression, I am the beast that feeds the feast, would be the fact that I bring some of it on myself, caught under wheels roll, would be that I'm stuck and I can't get out or escape the way I feel. This song has helped me through a lot and the way james writes lyrics is amazing, it can relate to many different people in different situations.

I think S&M 99 could have had a couple of songs swapped out for others, namely Until It Sleeps, The Thing That Should Not Be, and -Human. They play them all very well, flawlessly in fact, but Until and -Human aren't two of their best and Thingy just doesn't work well with the Symphony IMO. Ohh and Battery as the encore wasn't great with the Symphony either. But apart from those it's unbelievably awesome. Swap those out and replace them with Moth into Flame, Confusion, and Halo on Fire from S&M2 and you have the perfect S&M experience. Of course, those three weren't written yet in 99, so I'm not sure what I would have put in instead back then. Maybe Where the Wild Things Are, ...AJFA, and Frayed Ends! Creeping and Orion would be interesting too!

FecesPeces The sound is surely great. But I like the live vibe of the Live Shit recordings more. This has quite a few overdubs I think, don't know. Maybe Live Shit has them too, but it doesn't feel like that. Too bad they don't make live recordings like that anymore, where you can actually hear the crowd and the feeling of being in a concert hall. Everything sounds very "soundboardish". 😊

@Blackscorpion1963

One of my favourite versions if not the favourite of this incredible song from Metallica. and I guess I can sort of relate to it considering. Had my near-death motorcycle accident in 1990 aged 26 after sliding off the open road here in New Zealand at high speed from failing to take a bend at 11.10pm on a Friday night. Slid in to a farmers paddock concrete fence post with my left leg and it was immediately amputated at the knee. Then catapulted in to the paddock where I was discovered by a farmer who contacted emergency services. I was conscious all through out. Thankfully I was taken by ambulance to our local hospital within the 'golden hour'. On the 4th day in hospital I began 'fitting' due to renal failure and was taken by ambulance to a larger hospital 200km east. On the 2nd evening in that hospital the remaining stump of my left leg was amputated including my left hip joint and left side of my pelvis as I was suffering from septicaemia (blood poisoning). I also suffered numerous other internal injuries. I ran the hospital's blood bank out of my blood type as doctors & surgeons struggled to gain a fresh blood supply. By some miracle they finally gained a fresh blood supply and I survived. So yeah,guess I can relate to this song from Metallica reasonably well. Thank you Metallica and thanks to uploader, really appreciated.

+zeno toffali Thank you! In 1994 at the age of 31 I set the World's Fastest Time for an A.K.A. (above knee amputee) using crutches on my one good right leg only over the Marathon. My time set in Christchurch, New Zealand was 5 hours 58 minutes 13 seconds. It eclipsed the then fastest time 6 hours 22 minutes by 23 minutes. My fastest time stood for 19 years until in 2013 it was broken by a winter Paralympic gold medallist in a time of 5 hours 23 minutes. However his high-tech crutches I believe gave him a significant ergogenic advantage because my crutches were old school!

And they are all on point, James's voice, Lars is firing on all cylinders, Kirk is ripping and Jason..... well Jason as usual is just a loveable beast LOL \m/

@paigecutshaw2390

I have not tired of this tune, and probably will never tire of it. It is just fucking AWESOME!!!! The whole album is truly incredible.

Recuerdo que cuando Metallica saco esta canción del álbum Load, mucha gente decía que Metallica ya estaban viejos, pero no, ellos querían probar otras cositas 🥰👌

I love this CD with everything that I have. I wish that we could get more Metallica songs done in S&M style.

it's so nice to look in the comments section of their videos and see people loving this concert. I was the only one of my friends who liked it. And then any metal fan I showed the S&M album to didn't like it either. I really felt like the only one who actually enjoyed the hell out of it. I've given up hope waiting for a studio version of -human

@tomzadvydas1758

I saw the other S&M show at MSG in late 1999. It was amazing

Was never the biggest Metallica fan growing up as grunge was my formative years. But recently borrowed the album off my brother n law and haven't stopped cranking this since, piece of art.

Sometimes i feel that that i caught under wheels role...and im the beast that feeds the feast...and im bleeding me not in way that James did to his self with alcohol...but in my own way by remembering people that i lost...this song gives me the energy to get these feelings out...James really know how to touch our souls and he can make us relate with his lyrics no matter what's the real meaning of them...all people can relate in the context of beeing stack to somenting even if it is drugs,lost people or whatever

Ben following these boys since the 80's. They had accomplished everything in straight up metal ,I'm sure they just wanted to change it up and try something different. I think its a great album

I never understood the hate for load reload albums. With gems like this outlaw, wild things,fixxxer, hero of the day, fuel. Like come on if any other band made these albums they would be world wide hits

Depressing in a way.... I bought this album a little after it came out. Been rocking them since I was 10. Sucks getting old....

@dnmoscato92

@dnmoscato92

That clean riff of bleeding me still sounding in my head from the 2013. For me is the best clean riff, so bluesly, so metallica!!
