| COMON GUYS! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?? EVERYONE HAS AN EVIL INSIDE OF US BUT THIS IS NOT WHAT THE SONG IS ABOUT. I THINK THAT IT'S ABOUT THE PSYCHOTIC MIND OF A KILLER!!! | |

| Brilliantly haunting song about the Self wearing masks. Inner Truth never sounded so good, or so heavy. This is Metallica doing what they do man, and it's fuckin awesome!!!! | |

| It is about your evil part which tries to take the control over you. It was inspired by the film "Magic" | |

| i think that the song is being narrated by "evil" and the evil is saying how it can do whatever it wants by being in your brain and using your body for the dirty work. hence the line: you're my mask you're the one who's blamed do do my work do my dirty work, scapegoat do do my deeds for you're the one who's shamed yea that's my opinion. | |
