James Hetfield on the Meaning of “Nothing Else Matters” First is the strong bond, which even distance can’t severe, shared between the lyricist and the listener. Second is an encouragement to accept and actually feed this feeling by having faith in the relationship (specifically in the lyricist) and by pretty much ignoring whatever else may be going on in the world, implicitly when it comes to those who may be negatively criticizing their (the lyricist’s and listener’s) feelings.
After all is said and done, this song is primarily about two realities/ideologies.
