"Bleeding Me" is track # 7 on Metallica's 1996 album Load. Former bassist Jason Newsted believes it is about a person being put through mental torture.
The song was never commercially released as a single, though a promotional single was distributed to radio stations in mid-1997. That year, it would reach #6 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks. Both the album version and a shorter (approximately 5-6 minute) radio edit (the most notable differences from the album track being the shortening of various instrumental passages and ending the song at the conclusion of the guitar solo).
The song remains as a standout for many Metallica fans and has appeared from time to time in Metallica's live set since its release in 1996 including the live album S&M.
In an interview shown on the channel Kerrang in the UK Hetfield remarked, while discussing how he thought the other member of the band felt about him and his lyrics, "How did I know whether the rest of the guys in the band felt as much about the lyrics as I did. I could be singing 'Bleeding Me' with a tear in my eye and the rest of the guys might not have cared."
