Berlin bass player John Crawford wrote this song. The Metro is the underground transportation system in Paris, and the song tells the story of a woman riding a train to see a former love. The couple clearly has a lot of history, and the moments of this meeting and the lead up to it are etched in her memory, as she recalls the train ride in vivid detail, including the soldier sleeping next to her.
The line "thank you for loving me" is often misheard as "f--k you for loving me."
System Of A Down covered this in 2000. Their version was used on the soundtrack of Not Another Teen Movie.
