All Within My Hands

All Within My Hands

Metallica

“All Within My Hands” is the final track on Metallica’s St. Anger. The song is one of the heaviest off the experimental album, but not so much with the alternate performance, which was performed live with an acoustic turn, resembling what the song may have turned out to be had the drama surrounding Metallica at the time simply not existed.

This song goes on the topic of controlling the ones you love, including family and friends. The message of the song is put into metaphors of killing and choking those who are being controlled and manipulated. It is also mentioned that there’s a reliability on control, as a need in order to survive.

Strangely, this song’s title was recycled for the AWMH Foundation, which is a charity foundation based around the Metallica theme.
