No Picture chris Wanna Be	#1 by chris valverde at Dec 26, 1974 at 12:36 AM EST
	no i don't agree. there are things: "all that is, ever", does not go to the never but is twisting and turning through the never, the endless, immesurable void of the universe, and more. this does not only hold for our physical state on the "on our home, third stone from the sun", which is btw a real great expression to connect both the physical and psychical mankind. this "twisting turning through the never" holds for the psychic or soulfull state of us human beings: "see past our eyes". i think we can detect a great concept here of identifying something that is even bigger than the universe since the "universe much to big to see" is equal to the "all that is, was and will be" which is matter in space and time. but this everything must go through the never. and never materialises it becomes more than the word never simply means, since "then never comes". this song again shows metallicas awareness of the end of time, and that there is something behind this universe, which alone is too big and to quick to see ("to quick to critizise" is a great formula for showing that everything even changes in space time and all we might be able to see even from the smallest part of the universe would only be a short part in time, thus even if we concentrate on a small part of space we never could see that completely, not to speak form the whole vastness). they leave it open here what this "Never" is, that holds the universe of space and time. this song clearly shows awareness of god, or however you would call him but it doesn't mean, no existence. "we hunger to be alive" and we "ask forever", reminds me of "i think therefor i am", but in a quite more humble and fitting expression, since we are not out of our own. we think, we ask so we are, but not out of ourselves, not out of our thoughts, since our thoughts are clearly located "on our home", "out of the edge of forever" (means here and now". this does not only mean that the human being is small but he is also quite big, since he is aware of god: "Pursuit of truth no matter where it lies Gazing up to the breeze of the heavens On a quest, meaning, reason" (btw this does not only mean aware of himself, this is more) though they don't call it god, to leave the expression open. quite intelligent text, short and powerfull, and each word and note in this song bends to the final "Never".

	This isn't that hard to figure out, it's about how humankind cannot understand the universe. ^ Yes, it is philosphical. By the way, if you like tallica also try sepultura and slayer. awesome thrash metal.

No Picture edwin Wanna Be	#3 by edwin henrriquez at Apr 19, 1977 at 9:21 PM EST
	Wow, metallica_singh, if there was an award for not making any sense at all, you would definately win in a landslide. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you were under the influence of a powerful drug when you wrote that.

No Picture Dan Wanna Be	#4 by Dan Z at Dec 29, 1980 at 3:15 PM EST
	I Don't think its so much as an obsessive quest to explore space but , i can agree that it uses Space as metaphor for exploring ourselves and the unknown . And somewhat agree with King Nothing. This Stanza kinda of makes me think it : In the dark, see past our eyes Pursuit of truth no matter where it lies Gazing up to the breeze of the heavens On a quest, meaning, reason Came to be, how it begun All alone in the family of the sun Curiosity teasing everyone I can see the metapho here for space but it seems to mean more than that.

No Picture JJ Average	#5 by JJ at Aug 20, 1988 at 9:45 AM EST
	It's about humanities obsessive quest to explore space.

No Picture ryan Average	#6 by ryan oh at Nov 25, 1997 at 1:57 AM EST
	its about people who race to understand as much as they can before they die
