| The title of this song is taken from the "Frayed Ends of Sanity" line where he says "Hostage of this nameless feeling." Boo - Yah! | |

| I agree, sysys, this is definitely one that will take time before people, many people might i add, to take a strong liking to it. Many people might agree with me or might call me a retard, but this song describes perfectly that feeling we get, at least i get, when something goes wrong with that girl you like, and when you proceed to go home, sit in your room, just thinking, in a state of denial/regret/animosity/sorrow/whatever other horrible feeling goes through your head. And finally, as with anything dreadful in life, it sticks with you for a few days, this unnamed feeling. Everyone has one, this is just an example of mine. | |

| a horrible feeling that comes on and you dont even understand why... and it eats you alive. for me i think of it as a feeling of self hatred ("i just wanna get the fuck away from me") | |

| The unnamed feeling, all within my hands, and st. anger are the best songs on the album in my opinion. They all kick ass. And i know the album is a new sound for metallica, but it still lives up to the name. | |
