Musical Structure
The song is a heavy riff based track and is notable for its "behind the bridge" guitar solo. It's played in F-A#-D#-G#-C-C tuning and it opens with a natural harmonics riff on the 12th fret. It proceeds with an overdriven riff that's played during the verses. During the chorus there's a chromatic power chord progression from F to G#.
There are two official versions of the song, the single and the album track. The single version is intended to be more radio friendly. After the intro it cuts directly to the vocal verse and the solo is cut short.

“Creative force, like a musical composer, goes on unweariedly repeating a simple air or theme, now high, now low, in solo, in chorus, ten thousand times reverberated, till it fills earth and heaven with the chant.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“... the structure of a page of good prose is, analyzed logically, not something frozen but the vibrating of a bridge, which changes with every step one takes on it.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
