King Nothing??????????

What dose this mean? I heard it in a metallica song. And like most of there music, it's very disturbing. Who is King Nothing?? All's I got to say is don't fear the one who has the power to murder you, FEAR the one who has the power to cast you into HELL.

"King Nothing" is a song by Metallica in their 1996 album Load. The lyrics refer to people who devote their whole lives to earning money, until one day they realize ("Then it all crashes down") that all the money has gotten them nothing worthwhile. A second meaning may refer to people who have spent their lives wishing ("Wish I might/Wish I may/You wish your life away") rather than earning the things they desire.
