SYSTEM OF A DOWN
- Metro Lyrics / with translationsI'm alone
Sitting with my empty glass
My 4 walls
Follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there
Swimming through apologies
I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
Riding on the Metro
You wore white
Smiling as you took my hand
So removed
We spoke of wintertime in France
Minutes passed with shallow words
Years have passed and still the hurt
I can see you now
Smiling as I pulled away
I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand
"I'll love you always" filled my eyes
I remember a night we walked along the Seine
Riding on the Metro
I remember a feeling coming over me
The soldier turned, looked away
I remember hating you for loving me
Riding on the Metro
I'm alone
Sitting with my broken glass
My 4 walls
Follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there
Swimming through apologies sorry
I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
Riding on the Metro
Sitting with my empty glass
My 4 walls
Follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there
Swimming through apologies
I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
Riding on the Metro
You wore white
Smiling as you took my hand
So removed
We spoke of wintertime in France
Minutes passed with shallow words
Years have passed and still the hurt
I can see you now
Smiling as I pulled away
I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand
I remember a night we walked along the Seine
Riding on the Metro
I remember a feeling coming over me
The soldier turned, looked away
I remember hating you for loving me
Riding on the Metro
I'm alone
Sitting with my broken glass
My 4 walls
Follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there
Swimming through apologies sorry
I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
Riding on the Metro
Facts about Metro
✔️
Metro is written by Egon Peter Warner Salazar.
✔️
When we reflect on what the artist might have meant, 'Metro' by System of a Down is a music piece that shows a nostalgic trip accompanied by regret and yearning. The singer recalls a previously (in the past) couple's life full of apologies, hurt, and at least one side that did not express its feelings, all metaphorically described as riding the metro through different cities. The narrator's thoughts go from the love moments through the pain and finally to the emotional and physical separation, thus taking the listener through the bittersweet memories of the lost connection. Metro lyrics mainly highlight heartache, nostalgia, reflection, love, and despair. Simultaneously, the song emphasizes the interdependence along the lines of heartbreak and loss, nostalgia and memory, as well as regret and unfulfilled love. The lyrics touch upon mature love and heartbreak themes along with a strong expletive that implies adult language. Even though the general content is not overly graphic, the combination of the expletive and the emotional depth of the themes justifies a PG-13 rating.
