I love the story of this song; basically this man and Molly going through such hard times that they need to steal money, he steals money from a captain, then shoots him, and gets put in prison, and Molly deserts him. Well that is my understanding anyway. This is an awesome song (not Metallica's originally) but James Hetfield (I think that's his name) manages to make every song he sings sound awesome!

Well the message of this song is quite obvious, I think. Metallica is chasing you down and there's nowhere to hide! It is probably reflecting on wars, or actually when I read the lyrics over, I start to imagine a brutal alien invasion. I love Metallica. I'm so glad I discovered them. I went through a tough time in school, and Metallica was one of my favourite bands, as the lyrics always make me feel strong and empowered when I felt angry or depressed. Metal really is the best medicine for any psychological problems you may have. I could listen to these songs over and over because the emotions in them are so amazing, and I love the way that Metallica songs always change completely towards the end to an almost new song, and everything is done so perfectly. They are the most talented band I know.
