My World
Metallica · St. Anger [2003]
Trying to make me someone else instead
It's my world now, it's my world now
It's my world, it's my world
Mama why's it raining in my room
Cheer up boy, clouds will move on soon
Heavy fog got me lost inside
I'm gonna sit right back and enjoy this ride
It's my world, you can't have it
It's my world, it's my world
It's my world, you can't have it
It's my world, it's my world
It's my world, you can't have it
It's my world, it's my world
It's my world
I'm out my head, out of my head
Get 'em out my head, out of my head
Get 'em out
Who's in charge of my head today
Dancin devils in angel's way
It's my time now, it's my time now
It's my time, yeah it's my time
Look out motherfuckers, here I come
I'm gonna make my head my home
The sons of bitches tried to take my head
Tried to make me someone else instead
It's my world, you can't have it
It's my world, it's my world
It's my world, you can't have it
It's my world, it's my world
It's my world, you can't have it
It's my world, it's my world
It's my world
I'm out my head, out of my head
Get 'em out my head, get 'em out of my head
Get 'em out
Not only do I not know the answer
I don't even know what the question is
Not only do I not know the answer
I don't even know what the question is
God it feels like it only rains on me
God it feels like it only rains on me
God it feels like it only rains on me
God it feels like it only rains on me
Not only do I not know the answer
I don't even know what the question is
Not only do I not know the answer
I don't even know what the question is
I'm out my head, out of my head
Out of my head, get 'em out of my head
Get 'em out
Enough's enough
About My World
"My World" is the opening track on Metallica's 2003 album *St. Anger*, marking a significant shift in the band's sound and production style. Following the critical reception of their previous work, the group adopted a heavier, more aggressive approach characterized by distorted guitars and a raw, lo-fi aesthetic. This recording reflects the band's desire to return to their thrash metal roots while embracing modern production techniques, resulting in a track that serves as a sonic statement of their renewed intensity. The song sets a grim tone for the album, utilizing a driving rhythm and vocal delivery that emphasizes themes of personal struggle and societal decay. It stands as a pivotal moment in the band's discography, showcasing their evolution from the polished heaviness of the late 1990s to a grittier, more direct expression of power metal.
