| | Mama Said Lyrics Artist(Band):Metallica
Told me when I's young Son, your life's an open book Don't close it 'fore it's done The brightest flame burns quickest That's what I heard her say A son's heart's owed to mother But I must find my way Let my heart go Let your son grow Mama, let my heart go Or let this heart be still "Rebel", my new last name Wild blood in my veins Apron strings around my neck The mark that still remains left home at an early age Of what I heard was wrong I never asked forgiveness But what is said is done Let my heart go Let your son grow Mama, let my heart go Or let this heart be still Never I ask of you But never I gave But you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave Never I ask of you But never I gave But you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave So let this heart be still Mama, now I'm coming home I'm not all you wished of me But a mother's love for her son Unspoken, help me be Oh Yeah I took your love for granted And all the things you said to me I need your arms to welcome me But a cold stone's all I see Let my heart go Let your son grow Mama, let my heart go Or let this heart be still Let my heart go Mama, let my heart go You never let my heart go So let this heart be still Never I ask of you But never I gave But you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave Never I ask of you But never I gave But you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave So let this heart be still If you find some error in Mama Said Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Thanks to Matt for submitting the lyrics. Review about Mama Said Great song | Reviewer: Jon | 2/14/10 To start, this is in the top 10 Metallica songs for me personally. It's so emotional, it is sang so beautifully, it shows the many dimensions Metallica covers, and I absolutely love the guitar in the background on it, along with the beautiful acoustic guitar at the forefront. Not to mention the great lyrics that are deep and can probably strike a note with most people. 10/10 In regards to an earlier post, even though I believe that some epic trolling is going on, some people can be really close minded when it comes to music. Yeah Metallica sure as hell are pussies for diversifying their style of playing, that makes complete sense (sarcasm). The speed metal thing was becoming played out, and they really hit their limit with '...And Justice for All' in my opinion and has been stated by members of the band. If Metallica failed to evolve it would've most likely died out like most of the metal bands from the 80's did. Instead they challenged themselves musically and managed to stay on top for two more decades. Again, you're entitled to your own opinion so believe that if you want. But Metallica recently released a platinum album and are still selling out arenas all over the world so I guess most people would disagree with you. And how does Metallica suck without Dave when he didn't even record their first album with them? He was on some demos and that's about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLd6tBqtvy0 Yeah they sounded great with Dave! Good song but... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/5/10 OK, first of all, this isn't the best song from Metallica, even when it's full of meaning and the lyrics are beatiful, it's a standard rock-pop ballad from the mainstream period of the band. I know many people love this because they feel conexion with the story, but when they say "best Metallica song ever" they're ignoring all their thrash metal classics, their almost PERFECT songs, Master, Ride the Lightning, Seek and Destroy, One, Fight Fire with Fire... My favourite 'tallica song is Unforgiven I, it has special meaning to me, but I know it's not better than For Whom the Bell Tolls. It's not the best they can do. a great song | Reviewer: Elbereth | 2/4/10 it seems like a conuntry song but if you analize the sound of both guitars you will think thats a masterpiece, I like megadeth too (acording to the another comments) but that song I must admit is a very beautiful piece on guitar, I know it because I play the guitar too, I love heavy metal, but I never forget masterpieces like this one. I recommend just to enjoy the song by itself, forhet about styles this time, and just listen and enjoy a great song. (sorry for my poor english, I speak spanish,) Great Song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/8/10 Bob, Really? Dave? No. Yes this song has a 'country flare' to it but thats no reason to say this makes them has beens. In case you haven't noticed, Metllica is a very versatile band. After listening to this song I think it would have sounded better and fitted their style if played more like Fade to Black. However I'm not the artist. It was written like this for a reason. Metallica is the best. | Reviewer: Sakib | 12/18/09 I can really feel da emotions of dis song...this song is so touchy nd emotional.."" I need your arms to welcome me But a cold stone's all I see"" these two lines reminds me of ma past... it reminds me of a person who died 5 years ago....JAMES u r da best.... u r a great lyricist nd Singer as well as Guitarist..I love u nd METALLICA 4eva!!!!! Country Song? Seriously? | Reviewer: RICK | 12/1/09 Listen bob. This song isn't a country song. James wrote it about his mother who died when he was 16. You obviously aren't a true Metallica fan if your sitting there calling them a bunch of has beens. This is what makes Metallica so great. They can play all this heavy metal, yet still have a sensitive side. If you don't like it. Then don't listen. It's that simple. P.S. If you honestly believe that Metallica isn't the same without Dave..... Go back to your Megadeth albums :) not my cup of tea | Reviewer: bob | 11/29/09 i think this song is sums up what metallica has become. a group of has beens. i mean come on it's a country song. what pussies. its ok to write and sing the song but don't put a name like metallica on it. really they should changed their name after cliff died anyway. metallica ain't metallica without cliff and dave. Mama Said | Reviewer: Lior | 11/16/09 in my opinion,this song doesn't belong to metallica,it belongs to James.It reminds me of a very close person that to me she was like a mother,even more...I really understand this song and the lyrics are very powerful.I just would like to say-thank you James,for making me feel good,and sorry about what you've gone through... Best Metallica song EVER!! | Reviewer: Bri | 8/29/09 I absolutely love this song!!! It's my fave off Load. It's just such a beautiful song. I feel so sorry for James, cuz because of their religion(Christian Scientist) they didn't believe in doctors/medicine, so she never went for treatment or anything. That must've been so hard for James to have to watch his mother die like that. Whenever I hear the line "I need your arms to welcome me, but a cold stone's all I see" it just really hits me. This song really moves me. I'm working on learning it on guitar. LONG LIVE METALLICA!!!! thoughts | Reviewer: rikki | 8/18/09 for me, this song reminds me of a reacent death in my family and whenever i hear this song it not only brings back the pain, but also the times we had before. i feel like i share something with metallica (james) and all the other people who feel something when they hear this song. long live metallica.
