LYRICS
In a mirrored room
All alone I stand
Strip away the phantom fame
Exposing all sides to see
The good and bad in me
In a mirrored room
All alone I stand
Seeing past the flesh and bone
The shame and the fear I hide
Could I show you what’s inside?
Would you
Criticize, scrutinize
Stigmatize my pain?
Would you
Summarize, patronize
Classify insane?
So I stand here
Before you
You might judge
You might just bury me
Or you might set me free
In a mirrored room
Talking to myself
And the voices pushing back
I’ll let them inside my heart
But they’ll tear it all apart
In a mirrored room
Just a simple man
Naked, broken, beat, and scarred
What do I really know?
That fear of letting go
Would you
Criticize, scrutinize
Analyze my pain?
Would you
Summarize, patronize
Classify insane?
So I stand here
Before you
You might judge
You might just bury me
Or you might set me
Or you might set me free
Would you
Criticize, scrutinize
Ostracize my pain?
Would you
Summarize, patronize
Classify insane?
So I stand here
Before you
You might judge
You might just bury me
Or you might set me
Oh, please won’t you set me free

[@Fkod88]

The verse is simply amazing, the vocal melody, lyrics and the underlying riffs. So cool. And the Ride the Lightning-esque harmonies on top of AJFA drums, that’s definitely a highlight. And it’s a relief to hear another faster and shorter song on the album. Brilliant!

[@drewlmcmurtrey]

Agreed this song is simply awesome! 🔥

[@boosted0079]

Kirk actually did a fairly impressive job at writing the guitar solo for this song. In no way am I diminishing anything he's done in the recent past, but he hasn't really put as much into his solo work since the black album. Will always love these guys

[@gymguy25]

The end of Inamorata is hard to beat but as a guy who likes songs such as Spit out the Bone, Blackened, Battery, etc... I'd say this is my favorite out of the ones from 72 Seasons I've heard so far.

[@imaginator85]

The lyric ideas feel "young", kinda like a sequel to Dyer's Eve which is really interesting and goes along with the 72 seasons/growing up theme. I see what James meant when he said this album was putting his whole heart out there for everyone to see. They are really vulnerable thoughts. Now that I think about it, even the riffs sound kinda like Dyer's Eve. SO COOL.

[@THExDRxHate]

Totally thought same thing

[@MetgadethFan17]

Man..as a solo disabled dad, I own 4 guitars, a killer Helix LT.. Combined with the inspiration Metallica gives me, I cannot WAIT to riff through my preset..which combines the Diezel VH4 and Mesa mk4, and grin devilishly 😊 Then there is my very own rig..a killer blend of a PRS Archon and ENGL fireball.

[@danielschmaderer]

You do you. Recover and be happy to be alive. Don’t worry about what others think. You’ll pull through. Every time you feel like you’re going to fall, you tell yourself, “this is not what I do. I’m going to dismiss this thought” and move your attention. You’ll be perfectly fine. In the mean time, listen to the songs with us all and enjoy.

[@dh8148]

HOLY SHIT. What a song. It's been a very long time since I loved a Metallica song so much. Perfect guitars, vocals, transitions, energy. Even Lars did a damn good job here. Whatever James and co. dug down and found...keep it up. Easily the best track they have written in 30+ years.
