Overload (album)/Poor Twisted Me

These are the lyrics to Poor Twisted Me, a song originally released on American heavy metal band Metallica's "Load" album in 1996. The song is about self-pity, and on the remastered album Overload, it aids the drunken superstar's down-spiraling by removing them of real rhyme or reason, focused on feeling bad for themselves.

Lyrics
'' Oh poor twisted me Oh poor twisted me I feast on sympathy I chew on suffer I chew on agony

And swallow whole the pain Oh it's too good to be All this misery Is just for oh poor twisted me Poor twisted me

Ooh yeah Poor twisted me

Poor mistreated me Poor mistreated me I drown without a sea I'm filled with sorrow Once filled with misery

And hated the deep dark blue Oh woe is me Such a burden to bear Poor mistreated me, yeah

Finally reached the shore I survived the storm Now you're feeling cold ever since he was born Your pain is so over you

Finally reached the shore I survived the storm Now you're feeling cold ever since he was born No more

Your pain is so over you Could ya be my friend? Such a burden to see Oh poor twisted me

You, you, poor twisted me ''
