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:
“Slumism is the pent-up anger of people living on the outside of affluence. Slumism is decay of structure and deterioration of the human spirit. Slumism is a virus which spreads through the body politic. As other “isms,” it breeds disorder and demagoguery and hate.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
“The verbal poetical texture of Shakespeare is the greatest the world has known, and is immensely superior to the structure of his plays as plays. With Shakespeare it is the metaphor that is the thing, not the play.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“A special feature of the structure of our book is the monstrous but perfectly organic part that eavesdropping plays in it.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
