One Lyrics » Metallica
[Spoken Intro]
“Fuckin’ coward! Get your ass out of that trench!
Move, move, move, move, move!
Oh shit, oh fuck!
I’m hit, I’m hit, I’m hit, I’m hit!”
[Instrumental Intro (0:19 – 1:46)]
[Verse 1]
I can’t remember anything
Can’t tell if this is true or a dream
Deep down inside, I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me
Now that the war is through with me
I’m waking up, I cannot see
That there’s not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now
[Refrain]
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh, please, God, wake me
[Verse 2]
Back in the womb, it’s much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can’t look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I’ll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

About Metallica’s One from …And Justice for All (1988)
The fourth track on Metallica’s
…And Justice for All
, is based on the novel
Johnny Got His Gun
by Dalton Trumbo. There, Joe Bonham, a soldier in World War I, is hit by a landmine explosion that takes away his limbs and face, and becomes a prisoner in his own body – Joe lost his senses and can’t communicate, but is still kept alive by the medical crew. Thus the lyrics follow his plea to be put out of his misery.
A specific passage that inspired the song is:
How could a man lose as much of himself as I have and still live? When a man buys a lottery ticket you never expect him to win because it’s a million to one shot. But if he does win, you’ll believe it because one in a million still leaves one. If I’d read about a guy like me in the paper I wouldn’t believe it, cos it’s a million to one. But a million to ONE always leaves one. I’d never expect it to happen to me because the odds of it happening are a million to one. But a million to one always leaves one. One.
“One” marked the first time Metallica did
a music video
for one of their songs. The video featured footage from
the film adaptation of
Johnny Got His Gun
directed by Trumbo himself, which the band bought the rights for to make incorporating it easier.

Was this song also in the movie Johnny Got His Gun?
No, the song was not in the movie. Johnny Got His Gun predates “One” and
…And Justice for All
by about 17 years. Movie clips from Johnny Got His Gun were only used in the official music video of “One” as it represents the song well.
In addition, Metallica didn’t even exist when Johnny Got His Gun was released. Metallica was formed around late 1981, and at that point, Johnny Got His Gun was about 10 years old.
However, the music video for “One” did make it onto a re-release of the movie with other special features back in early 2009 when it made its first DVD debut. Although it did technically make it onto the DVD, it’s still not in the original movie, again only available as a special feature.
Where was “One” recorded?
The song was, coincidentally, recorded at One on One Studios in Los Angeles, California. The rest of the songs from …And Justice for All and the
self-titled album
were recorded there as well.
Since 1999, the studio has gone by the name Extasy Recording Studios after it was bought in 1992 by the label Extasy Records.
