Structure
The song begins with an overdriven plucked Ab-major-scale guitar riff from James Hetfield, then the vocals, drums and bass kick in respectively for the light first verse, which also includes acoustic guitar. The song then suddenly becomes heavier with distorted guitars and more intense vocals. After the second chorus there is a more heavy metal sounding bridge with aggressive instrumentation. The bridge returns after the final chorus and is extended, acting as the song's outro.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“When a house is tottering to its fall,
The strain lies heaviest on the weakest part,
One tiny crack throughout the structure spreads,
And its own weight soon brings it toppling down.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
“One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable. Changes in structure and function and individual roles are not to be confused with the collapse of the family. Families remain more important in the lives of children than other institutions. Family ties are stronger and more vital than many of us imagine in the perennial atmosphere of crisis surrounding the subject.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations.”
—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
