- The Unforgiven II LyricsLay beside me
Tell me what they've done
Speak the words I wanna hear
To make my demons run
The door is locked now
But it's open if you're true
If you can understand the me
Then I can understand the you
Lay beside me under wicked sky
Through black of day, dark of night
We share this pair of lives
The door cracks open
But there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still
But there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you?
Yeah, what I've felt
What I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there
'Cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
Come lay beside me
This won't hurt, I swear
She loves me not
She loves me still
But she'll never love again
She lay beside me
But she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Dead sure she'll be there
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you?
Yeah, what I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there
'Cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
Lay beside me, tell me what I've done
The door is closed, so are your eyes
But now I see the sun, now I see the sun
Yes, now I see it
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you?
Yeah, what I've felt, what I've known
So sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there
'Cause I'm the one who waits
The one who waits for you
Oh, what I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you?
So I dub thee unforgiven
Oh, what I've felt
Oh, what I've known
I take this key and I bury it in you
Because you're unforgiven too
Never free, never me
'Cause you're unforgiven too, oh
Tell me what they've done
Speak the words I wanna hear
To make my demons run
The door is locked now
But it's open if you're true
If you can understand the me
Then I can understand the you
Lay beside me under wicked sky
Through black of day, dark of night
We share this pair of lives
The door cracks open
But there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still
But there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you?
Yeah, what I've felt
What I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there
'Cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
Come lay beside me
This won't hurt, I swear
She loves me not
She loves me still
But she'll never love again
She lay beside me
But she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you?
Yeah, what I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there
'Cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
Lay beside me, tell me what I've done
The door is closed, so are your eyes
But now I see the sun, now I see the sun
Yes, now I see it
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door

Yeah, what I've felt, what I've known
So sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there
'Cause I'm the one who waits

When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, the Metallica song 'The Unforgiven II' elegantly explores the unfortunate consequences of inner battles, the always misunderstood one's wish for someone to empathize, and the never-ending wrestling with one's past. The words convey a feeling of being left out, needing to be loved, and being unable to forgive oneself, which are nicely illustrated by a closed door and a heart painted black. The constant asking of 'Could you be there?' shows a hope for salvation and a wanting of someone by one's side, whereas the image of putting a key in someone indicates the heaviness of mutual guilt and man’s helplessness in having to suffer the repercussions of his deeds. The unforgiven ii lyrics convey mostly the emotions of love and despair through heartbreak, angst, solitude, etc. At the same time, the song hints the settings of longing and connection, pain and regret, self-reflection and understanding and finally isolation and loneliness. The lyrics narrate the themes of emotional battle, darkness, and hints on relationships unsuitable for the under-thirteen audience. Caution for the younger listeners is implied in the use of such phrases as 'black heart scarring darker still' and 'sick and tired, I stand alone' that convey very strong emotions.

To me, this song pays respect or tribute to everyone out there that sucks at life. The ones who can't ever get anything right in their life but know that their obligated by something to stay on this earth, so they suffer through it, day in and out for the people who love them.

Describes a mans feelings while in a relationship with a woman whom he truly loves. He sings of her manipulation of him and his sacrafices. He can never please her, only after shes gone he can be free
