I can't wait to see you react to The Unforgiven 3. It's a perfect 3rd song on the trilogy. I would 100% recommend The Day That Never Comes from them too as the next song after the trilogy whenever you decide to get to Metallica again. Epic 👌 Keep up the good work and spreading smiles. Keep Smiling, dawg ✌

The Unforgiven trilogy basically breaks down into 1: blaming society 2: blaming a significant other 3: accepting everything was your own fault

[@axelrantung3430]

And finally you've been forgiven 🙏😇😁

[@HealingHeartsGlobalMinistries]

Incorrect. The first one is about his parents and his childhood, not society. Your other two here are correct.

[@rayzhang7591]

@@HealingHeartsGlobalMinistries It can be both ways. If you know about James' past, yeah you can see the hate towards his parents and what not. But if you know nothing about the band, unforgiven really is just a song about blaming society.

[@gergelylorincz4818]

So IDK if you are going to read this, but: A nice little oversimplified summary on how I like to think about the 3 unforgivens: I: I can't forgive the world II: I can't forgive you III: I can't forgive myself There is much more behind these, but I like this nice little approach :)

[@TheComicBookJoker]

Gergely Lőrincz It’s a bit of an oversimplification, but it’s serviceable. Certainly good enough to be how to begin mentally breaking down the songs.

[@SkinsFan15]

As for the lingering plot point overarching the 3 songs, that's exactly right. I had a paper in college I did that touched on that exact model as well. Of course delving deeper there's more to it, but to get the point across especially to someone hearing them for the first time that's exactly how I'd explain them.

[@peterworth9403]

There's also a bit of how he feels about his parents, and their religion mixed into these, and his mother dying, etc etc. The three songs are REALLY deep in meaning.

Unforgiven I: I can't forgive them Unforgiven II: I can't forgive you Unforgiven III: I can't forgive myself Basically

[@davidcraft8524]

You pretty much nailed it.

[@linzyaz920]

Nice!

[@SIeipner]

Exactly. Or you can look at it this way: Unforgiven 1: They all are the problem. I can't forgive them. Unforgiven 2: I thought you was like me, but you are just like them after all. I can't forgive you. Unforgiven 3: I was the problem all along, not them. I can't forgive me. EDIT: And also after you have heard all of them you know that Unforgiven 1 is actually all of them combined in very short way. It talks about dying as an alone old man in Unforgiven 1 which correlates with Unforgiven 3 which is the end.
