Metallica - Until It Sleeps (Official Music Video)

“Until It Sleeps” by Metallica from the album Load © 1996
Lyrics:
Where do I take this pain of mine
I run but it stays right by my side
So tear me open and pour me out
There's things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me until it sleeps
Just like the curse, just like the stray
You feed it once and now it stays
Now, it stays
So tear me open but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me until I'm clean
It grips you so hold me
It stains you so hold me (yeah)
It hates you so hold me (yeah)
It holds you so hold me
Until it sleeps (Until it sleeps)
Until it sleeps
So tell me why you've chosen me
Don't want your grip, don't want your greed
Don't want it
I'll tear me open, make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me, until it sleeps
It grips you so hold me
It stains you so hold me
It hates you so hold me (yeah)
It holds you
Holds you, holds you
Until it sleeps (Until it sleeps)
Until it sleeps (Until it sleeps, until it sleeps)
I don't want it, I don't want it
Want it, want it, want it, want it, no, woah-woah
So tear me open but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me 'til I'm clean
I'll tear me open, make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the hate still shapes me
So hold me until it sleeps
Until it sleeps, until it sleeps
Until it sleeps, until it sleeps

[@MetallicAddict15]

As a Metallica fan who holds their 80s records in high regard: this is without a doubt one of their best songs. Load and ReLoad are criminally underrated records that, if compressed to one album containing the best material from both albums, would be an outstanding work of art.

[@Khomb]

they are great rock albums, naturally evolution of a band...

[@ZoeyandEthan]

They are not underrated

[@metalsucks9]

Load and Reload was originally supposed to be one album but they had to split it into two cause of length

[@franklyput]

@@metalsucks9 the memory remains was written during Load sessions. It's in their studio dvd. They mentioned releasing a double album. And their label at the time told them to release them separately

[@katejackson4236]

metallica was the first band ive ever seen live. i was 16. and some random guy tried to ruin it by feeling my ass and walking by and laughing at me.then james hatfeIld played lars drums . thats my earliest memory of a show.i think it was 1991.

[@shelbymashaw1195]

This song is very underrated, one of their best

[@mangs9940]

so is the video!

[@erikreber3695]

Definitely my favorite "modern" metalica. The video has to have drawn inspiration from Zombie's music video... At least to me.

[@jessmason2112]

The uncomfortable truth. 💯✌️😎

[@jessmason2112]

​@@mangs9940 video is off the charts in symbolism.

[@travisw6378]

I never knew it was underrated, I was in high school when this album came out, this video was in heavy rotation on mtv, when they played music, and the song was on all the time on the radio.

[@sugarandchaos]

The thing I love about this song is that you really see the range of James's voice. It starts out so soft and smooth, like it's gently caressing your ears. In the next moment it switches to something so raw and rageful, it's like sliding down 3 mile of gravel road. It's a beautiful thing, there's no-one quite like him. See also Hero of the Day for the same feel. (Another underrated gem that I regularly play on repeat.)

[@jr2904]

Completely agree, I can understand the people that just love young, thrashy Metallica... But if they could broaden their horizon a bit for Load and Reload, with the great songs on them.... I think of the two albums like Stadium Arcadeum from RHCP. A great double album, but could have been edited into one amazing album with single after single like the Black album.

[@nathanjasper512]

Not trying to sound like a a know it all but thats called dynamic range. In music production dynamic range refers to volume. The range between the quietest and loudest sounds. If you just say range people will assume you mean pitch.

[@wildwit-music]

I love the S & M live version of Hero of the Day, it's incredible

[@DavidEdwards9801]

Got to be why I love singing along, it's fun to feel the full rage/range of emotions

This song is amazing full of meaning. It’s speaks to the pain we feel, until it sleeps. The older I get the more beauty i see in Metallica’s music and the meaning behind it.

I was in middle school when the video for Until It Sleeps came out and I still remember seeing it after waking up late at night after I had fallen asleep in front of the tv. I made a discussion video about the creatures in the music video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX-TeKVjibatjbc

[@VegaMyster]

Underrated? It's played on pretty much every mainstream rock station lol.

[@MusiCaninesTheMusicalDogs]

Agreed! I even took the time to record an inverted version of it, making heavy parts soft and vice versa! It's available in my channel, if you're interested!

[@thadood4373]

Not really. When this song came out people went apeshit for it.

[@RockMusicVideos]

The lyrics of the song, written by Hetfield, address his mother's battle with cancer, to which Hetfield's "it" refers. They can be seen as either describing the emotional pain he feels for the loss, or the physical pain his mother was feeling while she was ill. Both of his parents were Christian Scientists, and did not believe in medicine. The lyrics are also interpreted as dealing with anger issues. Hetfield's father, Virgil, died in late 1996, during Metallica's Load tour.

[@bradyray2228]

+Rock Music Videos I never knew that. I thought maybe it was talking about addiction or maybe his inner demons. That really makes since now. It oly took me like 20 years to find out. Thak you.

[@mr.destroyer3583]

+Brady Ray I think this may be the darkest Tallica song ever...

[@marshallhenshaw6112]

+Rock Music Videos This song was about his fathers death which was also from cancer. The song The God That Failed off the black album is about his mothers death from cancer as she did not have any treatments becuase of her faith that god would heal her.

[@nicolasriveros943]

+Rock Music Videos that's what with time i learn to love the Load/Reload album, and specially this song. The emotion is deep and very human,this song is a real artistic and symbolic way to express something really heavy. If that is not "Metal", i don't know what it is

[@loonygamer1120]

I don't think so because The God That Failed off the black album was about his mother

[@kiranspillai03]

Such a beautiful song. Metallica has a very spiritual and philosophical side to them, that we never see till we are old enough.

[@nicolalewis1598]

I happened to stumble upon your comment, and i feel exactly the same as you when you say they have a very spiritual side, one which i feel makes metallica different to most other bands. these guys had the whole "making a kickass song to pull em in again" thing down years ago, they were practically 'god like' in my teenage mind, now I see them as men with a story to tell, done beautifully through epic rock and chonky timeless riffs that will always have a place in my mind rent free lol. Love love love this band, they are like a category of music in their own right and equate to any drug, better than actually, and i find them excellent to cathartisise and channel emotions through, its music therapy and theyre the best

[@fernandorivera9384]

I strongly agree with both opinions posted here. As someone who has had a strong spiritual perception since childhood, Metallica has delved into spiritual subjects on just about every album they produced a good example being The God That Failed and My Friend Of Misery from the black album

[@garycarr3857]

​@@nicolalewis15981996

[@T00DEEPBLUE]

I find it pretty adorable that people claim Metallica 'sold out' when Load/Reload was released. If they were in it solely for the money, they would've just produced another Black Album record out of popular demand and it would've sold massively. But they chose not to because they wanted to express themselves in a radically different way. Considering that their tour schedule was absolutely gigantic a couple of years earlier; it required playing the same songs over and over, night after night for years on end. It's pretty understandable that it felt right to them to do something different. And I think that's more a sign of artistic integrity than just making another Black Album in my opinion.

[@zanearmstrong6776]

agreed. finally someone who's making sense in these comments

[@LZJoZ]

+Daniel Lomax THANK you.All the hate that Load/Reload era Metallica gets is from the whiny metalheads who won't listen to anything different so they start squealing as soon as their favorite band tries to expand musically.

[@wraithrulz]

you sir are a genius. Im glad they didn't do another black label album... I love it but it's good to do something different instead of living off the fame that album got them I grew up with these guys playing through the stereo a lot and I've never grown bored of their music... would kill to see them live

[@dekadenser]

+Daniel Lomax Spot on mate.

[@T00DEEPBLUE]

***** Everybody is entitled to an opinion on Metallica's change in musical direction, but that also doesn't give anyone the right to expect the band to mould themselves to their own preferences and expectations. The only expectations the band should be moulding to are their own. That's the entire point of not selling out.

One thing about the Load and Reload albums is that the older I become, the more they speak to me. As a teenager, I didn't really get it. As an adult, I've experienced and feel what James is singing about. These albums have aged well.

Out of all their videos, this one is their best acting by far out of all of them. From Kirk to Jason and even Lars. James really let himself show in this

Definitely. Fans were so into this "Metallica sold out" thing that the music got obscured.

[@hammerofjusticecrushesyouo6496]

This is exactly how I feel. I really think this album was a tribute to Cliff because he was always encouraging experimentation with music styles and finally they did it

[@HelloZukoHere7]

I Actually think that Load is Kind of Overrated. A lot of people Consider Load better then Reload, and Death Magnetic. I mean don't get me Wrong, Load is a Decent album but it dies down for the second half. I feel like Reload is a lot better, Songs like The Unforgiven II, Low Man's Lyric, Fixxxer, Etc. I only really like Until it Sleeps and The House Jack built off Load.

I didn't get the lyrics back then, my native aint English. Yet it struck me so hard, my world has changed i might say.

I hate that people rip on Metallica for this album. I'm a huge fan of their old stuff, Damage Inc. is probably my favorite song by them, but to act like they did a bad thing by not playing thrash metal forever is dumb. For on thing for a band to stay alive, they have to change with the people who listen to them. Secondly, they were getting older and you mellow out as you age. This is still good music even if its not the same as their old stuff.

[@TheEpicLinkFreeman]

to be fair on that mellow out part, there's tons of thrash bands that were around at the same time that haven't slowed down at all; machine head, slayer, exodus to name a few

[@beefcake3131]

Link Freeman Yeah but I have friends who still party like we did in college, while I'm home with my pregnant wife and kid. Point is that some people change, some don't. Another thing, Metallica is far more successful than any of the other bands you named. I hear Metallica on the radio almost daily. slayer, etc.....pretty much never.

[@TheEpicLinkFreeman]

beefcake3131 well i never hear any of them anymore on the radio because the radio around where i live sucks ass, the only rock radios we have around now play softer stuff or classic rock like u2 or bad company and it gets old pretty quick

[@beefcake3131]

I remember when this crap came out. It was a lame nirvana Copy. Metallica was always against make up and spandex. Then this comes out- heart shaped box video, make up and spandex, one bass drum on Lars, short hair. They make a grunge album to be hip, and grunge itself was already dead. It was probably pants c major de. Now, I understand that your artistic taste can change but then kill the band and go a different route. Because no one is going to their concert to listen to this.

Sometimes I don't understand Metallica fans. I consider myself as a great Metallica fan, you know, I've listened every album they have done ( Even St Anger D: ). And althought I have had my "seasons" with the albums ( Like idk, 1 full month just listening to Kill' em all or Black Album ) I can't understand some fans. For example, the fans who think that they just have 3 or 4 "real albums", when I see comments of those persons I think that they just like their "Real thrash" moments, and okay, that's fine. The problem comes when they say that they hate Death Magnetic, really? Death Magnetic is a very good album, with some Thrash riffs, and althought it's not their best album, is a very nice one, you just have to make yourself to it. And about these commercial albums (Load and ReLoad) Okay, they might be commercial, but hey! It show to the world that Metallica can play more music than Thrash, for all the public. Imagine it for a moment, their 9 albums just the same as Kill' em all, that would be very nice for the people who just loves Thrash Metal and who loves their solos ( Bc solos like the one in Jump in The fire are brilliants ), but what would happen to the people who loves metallica and want to hear them all his life. In their "active moments" in the sad ones and well you understood me. What I want to say, is that there are people who just complain about everything and are very closed-minded. And that all Metallica albums are made for a reason, maybe money, maybe love to the music, idk. But they are all perfect (except Drums on St. Anger, BUT THAT'S AN UNIVERSAL TRUE)

[@jesslovesgrunge5741]

Agreed

[@mattvaughn8045]

There hasn't been a album yet that hasn't had at LEAST one epic song... St. Anger and Death Magnetic tested those waters... lol... Metallica has written several timeless songs... that is saying something.

[@kulosable]

I completly agree.

[@caretheis6779]

metallica has made more than just several timeless songs, most songs on most of their albums are just amazing.

[@s3lfFish]

maybe they also just tried new things you know, not just for money.

[@GoldenTuskan]

This video was really ahead of its time for the metal genre. It was a clear inspiration for Machine Head's Now We Die music video.

[@gabix7488]

It has a lot of Marilyn Manson ,David Bowie and Losing my religion by REM in it. Not really ahead.

[@s3lfFish]

no it wasn't they took it all from grunge, and other alt rock music (musically and visually) though I do like what they did , even though by that time, grunge was dead

[@urazoktay7940]

Same here, i was 12 back then, i was blown away.

[@GlassSuperstar]

First drum beat i ever learned. So it has a sentiment and nostalgia hold over me. You can tell its 90s because of the typical Mellon collie, beautiful people style video production. Plus kirk was emulating the vibe of dave navarro. Great Era. ✌

[@mikevillarreal8291]

this song (and the video), perfectly describes how it is to be a cancer patient. i never felt more rage than when it hits you that your own body "hates you" in a sense. and even if you survive the first round, it only sleeps.

[@Marathon13240]

This song gets to me in so many ways and most of those ways I can't even comprehend when listening, and feeling the music just take over me. I don't really know why people don't sit down and listen to unload and load and just feel it.

[@tnarockshard]

You are officially awesome now. I like Load more though. But pretty soon I'll give reload another chance cause Where Wild Things Are is a awesome song. Load and St Anger are my favs from Metallica.

[@BMetalJunkie]

Tyler Melton St. Anger was their worst cd ever. Load and Reload are ehh but Master of Puppets and Kill Em All will forever be the best work Metallica did. I do enjoy this song alot.

[@erict7185]

probably Metallica's best music video.

[@RudeeOlivier]

What a band ! Miss them so much. They need to make a record soon. The writing and that mix of great riffs plus kind of a sad ballad is just great. We tried to do a mix of rock and ballad with one of our latest song, would love your views on it. Return from people liking the same music is always great. stay safe in the meantime : kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHS9hJaudpZ7oZY and happy new year

My favorite Metallica song ♥

[@EzidioAlvesPereira]

Saudades dessa época,quando era um jovem sujo e cabeludo que ficava o dia inteiro na frente da MTV vendo e ouvindo essas obras primas!

[@MarkLambertMusic]

I'd say this is the first album where Metallica didn't sound a whole lot different than all the other bands that were popular at the time. In the wake of grunge, many older bands were terrified of becoming irrelevant and desperately tried to cop the darker grunge/post-grunge sound and aesthetic. Metallica was obviously doing the same with Load. Fortunately for them, the band was big enough that they were able to weather those times successfully. And for the record, I really like this album, because I love the music of that era, be it Metallica or whoever. I'm glad they chased the trends with this one.

[@Eva-ie4hm]

IMO, this, fuel, the unforgiven three, and a few others, were basically the songs that kept me hanging as a fan through the Load/ReLoad era.

[@Contraa]

The Unforgiven III is from 2008

Their first album I ever listened and I was hooked. Found their load album at a pawn shop and don’t regret that purchase

[@MegaAnita80]

Where do I take this pain of mine? I run, but it stays right by my side So tear me open, pour me out There’s things inside that scream and shout And the pain still hates me So hold me until it sleeps Just like the curse, just like the stray You feed it once and now it stays Now it stays So tear me open but beware There’s things inside without a care And the dirt still stains me So wash me until I’m clean It grips you, so hold me It stains you, so hold me It hates you, so hold me It holds you, so hold me Until it sleeps So tell me why you’ve chosen me Don’t want your grip Don’t want your greed Don’t want it I’ll tear me open, make you gone No more can you hurt anyone And the fear still shakes me So hold me until it sleeps It grips you, so hold me It stains you, so hold me It hates you, so hold me It holds you, holds you, holds you Until it sleeps I don’t want it So tear me open but beware There’s things inside without a care And the dirt still stains me So wash me... till clean I’ll tear me open, make you gone No longer will you hurt anyone And the hate still shapes me So hold me until it sleeps Until it sleeps

один из лучших клипов за всю историю создания оных . И однозначно одна из лучших песен МЕТАЛЛИКИ !!! Браво !!! Храни вас Бог !!!

[@user-be3nm5hj4n]

Эта песня - единственная, которая мне безоговорочно нравится у Металлики, но клип смотреть просто невозможно! Не смогла поставить лайк. Слишком мерзкое зрелище. Да и вредное - не нужно мне притуплять естественные реакции. А то потом прошедшие такую обработку лезут во всякое гавно и прочие гадости, вот тебе и пандемия. Брезгливость человеку не просто так дана, а чтобы его защищать от заразы. Фу, больше и саму эту песню слушать не смогу, хотя раньше нравилась.

[@annamouradian5550]

Its awsome that metallica has many styles , it shows that they r really creative and professional . People say " oh , im a real metallica fan and i only enjoy first 4 albums" No , thats not being metallica fan. A real metallica fan enjoy all of their album and respect them! Of course u can enjoy more other albums , but critic the bc of the hair? Pls grow up!

[@justinburger7251]

Actually this song ,even in interviews has said this song is about his mother dieing of cancer

[@LiamMHennessey]

Justin Burger music is also subjective. What it means for one person, it might be another. I take the song, "Bleeding Me" and It makes me think of overcoming the darkest depths of depression, slef hatred, suicidal thoughts, ect., but i am almost certian james penned it as an ode to addiction. I never bothered to look up the meaning of the song though because I habe already assigned one to it. I am just aware it is probably not the original message and meaning.
