1. The slow introduction: it symbolizes the feeling of aggression and loss that the band suffers due to their loss. 2. Solo #1: represents the whole feeling of anger of Kirk Hammett. 3. The interlude (slow part of the intro): it represents the acceptance of the loss of the 3 remaining members, and the going forward in their honor. 4. Solo # 2: represents how deeply the death of Cliff Burton has affected them. 5. On the return of the heavy part, they pay tribute to Cliff by reading the poem, his last composition, and continue with the tribute doing just what Cliff would have expected of them, to move forward with the music. 6. Upon reaching the end, the song returns to the classic style of the introduction, symbolizing the memory of Cliff, which will never end. The final riff is suddenly interrupted, symbolizing the end of Cliff's life, cut short by death at such a young age. P.S. thanks to the autor of this comment
@ros9764 3 жыл бұрын
I always thought the song was about a person's life. They are being born and their childhood is happy like the intro, then they learn more and more about reality with the heavy riffs, they start accepting that they have to go through that, their adult life has a lot of ups amd downs and it's a mess like the riffs up until their slow death which starts from the part they talk in the song and die peacefully with the part that started it all, the feeling they had when they were born...

The most we can go by, if the band doesn't clarify 100%, is knowledge based off the "official" subject matter- in this case, the death of Cliff Burton. Five distinct compositions, broken with a spoken word poem, could signify the five stages of grief.

The song makes me cry starting from James Solo upto Harmony part. The harmony part with double bass drumming just elevates the true emotions. I don't fucking care what anyone says about Metallica. METALLICA is beyond amazing and no other band will ever come close to it. Wow man so much emotions in a song without lyrics

The intro reflects the shock of cliffs death. The heavy section punctuated with a wailing solo, is the anger and grief consuming your mind. Then the groove slows down and gets more contemplative, culminating in the clean riff where you can almost feel them switch from mourning his death to celebrating his life. Another solo, into a big triumphant riff section to recognize their achievements in the time they had with him. Then, back to the main riff, he will always be missed and the pain of tragedy will always be there in some form. But life eventually returns to something like normal, as it fades back into the melodic section. Metallica are truly genius, told a whole story and didn’t say a singe word.

This is my favorite song by Metallica, and has been for decades. The melodic breakdown is some avengers endgame, when cap tightens the band on his broken shield. it gets even better when you let it play directly into Dyer's Eve.

When I first heard this song as a teenager I didn't know any of the context behind it and yet I could still feel the sense of loss and sadness that the music stirred within me. It's incredible how music alone can just trigger those parts of your brain without any words to explain why you feel that way. The interlude later in the song always makes me picture a beach at sunset and feel a sense of sadness and moving on with your life.

There's a lot of great interpretations out there about this song. For me, the snear hit at 7:56 is the moment of the crash/Cliff's death. Additionally, the song ends abruptly just like Cliff's life.

The most mind-blowing part is that this song was written by 25/26 year olds who had just lost their band mate/friend/brother in the most tragic of ways. They were dealing with this loss the best way they knew how. To create this masterpiece in those circumstances is remarkable. Listening to it and knowing the details, I tear up every time I hear it.
