Metallica "I dub the unforgiven"

the song is called "The Unforgiven" and the line u are refering to is "I dub thee unforgiven" which thee is just another word for "you" that alot of poets used to use. So in other words what he is saying is "I dub you unforgiven"

and to me this song has to do more with "being yourself" and showing what you really mean, the old man died regretfully because he never did what he truly wanted to do and he said he was bitter maybe he regreted being biter and thats not really wanted to do but its how he was raised. idk all that stuff is up for debate but the line in the song is in no question I dub thee

(edited) The song is "the unfrogiven" but in the song he says i dub thee unforgiven. In the song he is talking about him growing up and about all the things that people did wrong to him and expected him to do. he tries to please every1 but cant and is forced to fight a batltle he cannot win. They(whoever "they is") labled him as always doing things wrong and as he grew up he never forgave them thus the line "I dub thee unforgivin". Metallica's lyrics are not just other american songs that are used to just make stuff rhyme and ne1 that has ever head a Metallica song will agree with that. Just for proof here are the lyrics to the song:

New blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pain disgrace
The young boy learns their rules

With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on he's known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me  (this is where he says that this song is about him)

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven

with 'the' it would make alot less sense

'because not many american songs have thee in them' is not a very good explanation, you could say it's a bit bombastic, which goes with the music

also i guess the odd word here is just dub
