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:
“A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn.”
—C. Northcote Parkinson (1909–1993)
“I really do inhabit a system in which words are capable of shaking the entire structure of government, where words can prove mightier than ten military divisions.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
“Who says that fictions only and false hair
Become a verse? Is there in truth no beauty?
Is all good structure in a winding stair?
May no lines pass, except they do their duty
Not to a true, but painted chair?”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
