Nothing Else Matters-Metallica
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No nothing else matters
I used to hate Metallica. All I knew was that my step-dad liked them and I hate him, so I hated them. From sporadic times of hearing them on the radio, I have come to really appreciate their lyrics for the importance that they really hold. This song is probably my favorite, given that I haven't heard too many others. It really describes my relationship with the people that I've been the closest with. Whether that be a boyfriend or a just a best friend. I have entrusted very few people with my secrets, and there's only really one person I've ever told all of my secrets too. My listlessness continues. Day in and day out. Saturday my friend called me while I was at work, and I called her back after I was off and told her that when she was done with her movie that we should hang out, etc. She called me after I had gotten home and eaten some dinner, and I was expecting her to ask me to go hang out, but she said she was just going home. No big deal. Then today I find out she went to some party right after she called me with her older sister and played drinking games with some people she doesn't even know. I'm not a judgemental person usually, but I know her, she's been one of me best friends for freaking forever now. She and I frequently comment on other kids our age drinking saying how stupid they are, make jokes about them getting trashed and being idiots and how they think they're so fuckin cool, and today in class she starts telling this story about playing drinking games on Saturday night. How hypocritical is that? I wouldn't have though twice about her drinking (not that I agree with it I think it's idiotic to get fuckin plastered) but when she starts telling drinking game stories in front of people we don't even fucking like and talk shit about all the time, that's where I become judgemental and call her a hypocrit. It makes me sad for her. But then again, we've all done things to be hypocritical, so maybe I shouldn't talk, but I had to vent on that.
