EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

Lyrics: Theory:

Do you see what I see?

Truth is an offence

You silence for your confidence

       Do you hear what I hear?

       Doors are slamming shut

       Limit your imagination, keep you where they must

Do you feel what I feel?

Bettering distress

Who decides what you express?

       Do you take what I take?

       Endurance is the word

      Moving back instead of forward

      Seems to me absurd

Doesn't matter what you see

Or into it what you read

You can do it your own way

If it's done just how I say

      Independence limited

      Freedom of choice

     Choice is made for you, my friend

     Freedom of speech

     Speech is words that they will bend

     Freedom with their exception

Do you fear what I fear?

Living properly

Truths to you are lies to me

    Do you choose what I choose?

    More alternatives

    Energy derives from both the plus and negative 

Do you need what I need?

Boundaries overthrown

Look inside, to each his own

     Do you trust what I trust?

    Me, myself and I

    Penetrate the smoke screen

    I see through the selfish lie

Doesn't matter what you see

Or into it what you read

You can do it your own way

If it's done just how I say

      Independence limited

      Freedom of choice

     Choice is made for you, my friend

     Freedom of speech

     Speech is words that they will bend

     Freedom with their exception

Doesn't matter what you see

Or into it what you read

You can do it your own way

If it's done just how I say

  This excellent song talks about one of the biggest problem in our society... the false-freedom. The government make us believe we are free but if we don’t do as the want us to do, we’ll be penalized in a way. So, we have to adjust to their exceptions... that is false-freedom
 My favorite quote is:
"You can do it your own way
 If it's done just how I say"
 Kind of sarcasm...the government tells you you can do whatever you want  but on the other hand there are laws that don't allow you to do certain things. America is called "Land of free" but how come? They tell how they feel that the government tell you and make you believe that you are free when they are controlling you behind the scenes.
 It was Metallica's first single release of the "... And Justice For All" album in USA.
