Metallica: Wherever I May Roam Meaning
Song Released: 1992
Wherever I May Roam Lyrics
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her I do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all I need
...and with dust in throat I crave
Only knowledge will I save
To the game you stay a slave
Rover...

This song is NOT about drugs!
Rover, wanderer, nomad, vagabond,
REFER TO THE FACT THAT HE IS ALL OF THESE.
call me what you will.
He doesn't care what anyone thinks. There is absolutley no drug reference in this song. -
it's about a man who desires solitude. But he is not always alone. He is a free spirit who wishes nothing more than to wander. Answering to no one. Like a nomad king. the last part merely states that even if he dies, he wishes to roam freely like the wanderer he has described.

It's about a man (or woman) who is dead but sill roaming this world
The line "Carved upon my stone, my body lies but still i roam" proves that he/she is dead and the rest of the song states the the protagonist roams, it is that simple. -
You are a loner, you walk alone... and well its basically you're a loner.
-
Actually it is about ghosts I was thinking about the song whrn I thought about what carved upon my ston meant, but then I realized tha the nexr lime was actually what was carved upon his tombstone
-
It certainly isn't about drugs or ghosts, watch the video, it's about touring on the road, "where ever I may roam"
