Metallica: To Live is to Die Meaning
To Live is to Die Lyrics
These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives.
All this I cannot bear to witness any longer.
Cannot the Kingdom of Salvation take me home?

Newsted got fked on justice. They damn sure would not have done that to Cliff so I say fuck justice and every album that followed it.
RIP CIFF BURTON -
The lyrics are a poem written by Cliff and this song is a homage to his memory.
-
The first two lines are by the 17th century poet, Paul Gerhardt.

Just talking about the lyrics here, I think it is about the band contemplating the idea of suicide because
"All this I cannot bear to witness any longer"
Also it could mean the fact that they were unsure if they should have continued making music or not.
Much respect and love to Cliff, you glorious king! -
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

The song is a tribute and dedicated to the late Cliff Burton. This song clearly has a lot of meaning to the band because not only did one of their own pass away, but he did while on tour. The song is sort of peaceful and for the most part is an instrumental, but the peaceful tone is almost eery, as it drags out to be more intense. It think its a lovely yet emotional song.

it's dedicated to the late and great Cliff Burton
