Metallica - The Struggle Within Lyrics






Reaching out for something you've got to feel
While clutching to what you had thought was real

Kicking at a dead horse pleases you
No way of showing your gratitude
So many things you don't want to do
What is it? What have you got to lose?

What the hell?
What is it you think you're going to find?
Hypocrite
Boredom sets into the boring mind

Struggle within, it suits you fine
Struggle within, your ruin
Struggle within, you seal your own coffin
Struggle within, the struggling within

Home is not a home, it becomes a hell
Turning it into your prison cell
Advantages are taken, not handed out
While you struggle inside your hell

Reaching out
Grabbing for something you've got to feel
Closing in
The pressure upon you is so unreal

Struggle within, it suits you fine
Struggle within, your ruin
Struggle within, you seal your own coffin
Struggle within, the struggling within

Struggle

Reaching out for something you've got to feel
While clutching to what you had thought was real

What the hell?
What is it you think you're going to find?
Hypocrite
Boredom sets into the boring mind

Struggle within, it suits you fine
Struggle within, your ruin
Struggle within, you seal your own coffin
Struggle within, the struggling within

    Feel so clean....

  41. M.... L....

    i'm a die hard metallica fan, but i just don't like this song

  42. A.... ....

    I love the melodic intro.

  43. t.... g....

    Rockkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk viejos recuerdos en la rocola de sabana grande caracas venezuela

  44. t.... s....

    beginning of the end for metallica thanks to bob rock.

  45. G.... R....

    metallica should open all the concerts with this song instead of the ectasy of gold

  46. N.... O....

    Underrated.

  47. N.... N....

    You seal your own coffin

  48. s.... ....

    the solo and when james plays that rythm after he says GO!..OMGG fuckkk

  49. O.... ....

    Only truly decent song aside from Sad But True on this ultra sub par record. I love this band. Listening to JN playing the older shit live is a treat seeing as how the Justice record took a mixing dump X 1000. Then this band wrote a record with only two good songs??? Hypocritical is right. Fuck (kind of as they used to blow doors. See 1995 live Germany) post Garage Days Re-revisited Metallica. Still, in 2019 they kill it live but records blow...Ironically, Jason Newstead was the potential savior & new breath of life to save an outfit that Hetfield & Ulrich simply flushed out from their stupid ego bullshit. Much respect otherwise & thank you for putting this up. Cheers!!(A)

  50. D.... B....

    Release the prisoners! #opieant

  51. F.... m....

    🤘🏻🤘🏻

  52. J.... e....

    Who is AJFA

  53. F.... K....

    7,14,21 seconds 203 mm cannon firing

  54. M.... ....

    Great song---

  55. M.... A....

    This song has one of Kirk's greatest solos.

  56. A.... S....

    This song blows!

  57. D.... B....

    Why is the black album so hated?

  58. S.... T....

    Killer tune. Never understand why they don't play this live more often...Man Hardwired tour is almost over and this was never played in 2 and a half years, and live this can be KILLER. C'mon guys.

  59. R.... M....

    the black album is so good and i just got into metallica

  60. j.... d....

    Courage to all the peoples in the struggle ... me included at first ... the struggle against my ... mind ...

  61. F.... P....

    I was gonna go to war this is the song

  62. W.... D....

    Oklahoma State is the best college in Oklahoma by far

  63. J.... B....

    i see the lyrics to be about spiritual warfare. Our old nature against the true you.

  64. N.... ....

    3:13 when your nuts itch and you are sittimg beside your crush

  65. A.... ....

    Played this hundreds of times (like the rest of the Black Album) on my walkman.

  66. u.... g....

    High quality lyric video.

  67. C.... Z....

    so many fucking riffs, jesus what a song

  68. L.... L....

    IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO HEADBANG DURING KIRK'S RIFF. FUCK.

  69. J.... B....

    the Christian life is warfare. Spirit again the flesh.

  70. R.... H....

    I´m Here 2019..!!

  71. A.... ....

    "Advantages are taken, not handed out." The only lyrics of this song I can remember over 20 years later. My motto during college and a 20 year career of one step up after another in the world. I am not ashamed.

  72. m.... a....

    Not it suits me not the struggle within ... everybodys fighting against our own personal struggle in a good way ...

  73. 0.... ....

    well its my fav song from le album

  74. G.... ....

    Love this song. Underrated underplayed. It's fast it's metal.

  75. B.... ....

    at 2:05 i thought he said
    spill your own coffee
    also this is my first time hearing this song

  76. S.... O....

    2:54 is epic

  77. M.... S....

    Loved that track right away when I first heard this album in Oct. '91 ( yeah I know, I'm old). Feb. 2019 it's still my favorite Metalitrack of the Black album.

  78. C.... ....

    The Black album is weird because part of it sounds like it could be on AJFA like this song and Holier Than Thou but then the other part of the album is so much different.

  79. D.... D....

    When someone says they live their life in Harmony: 3:19

  80. L.... :....

    2:56 😫 I nut

  81. J.... u....

    I heard 1:05 and that made this song my Metallica favorite.

  82. M.... S....

    2019 🤘

  83. O.... ....

    Very strong song for this album

  84. A.... L....

    0:33 - 0:41 my tone messsges \m/

  85. D.... ....

    I play this when on March of the wooden solders the solder march starts

  86. M.... N....

    Struggle within you steal your own coffee

  87. B.... M....

    I always thought this song was about a 3 second time frame which someone knocked over a cup off coffee cause when he says "You seal your own coffin" i hear it as "You spilled your own coffee"

  88. a.... ....

    This song seems fast and full of thrash, but the chorus in my opinion is why metalheads look down upon this album. Another thing that ruins this album for me is the lyrics. After looking over them you realise that this lyric writing is pathetic compared to their earlier work. And this is the album Metallica are know for by the masses. 😣

  89. J.... H....

    The best riffs always come after the singer yells “Go!”

  90. T.... ....

    as a diehard Iron Maiden fan of 30 years, and someone who never liked Metallica post And Justice, this is my fave song of the black album, the last album i ever purchased.

  91. U.... D....

    1.5 Thrash

  92. U.... P....

    Actually the only thrash metal song in the black album, hidden as the last track.

  93. A.... Y....

    That riff after the solo always put a huge smile on my face. Every singl time haha

  94. E.... R....

    bara en jävla emolåt

  95. T.... C....

    Something tells me the lyrics are by James Hetfield, not MegaHerman. Lol.

  96. S.... ....

    And this everyone is the last we heard of young James hetfield

    S.... ....

    SuperNick the last time for studio, but their were still live performances from ‘91-‘93 where he still sounded like this

    S.... ....

    AGS 15 that is a good point

  97. O.... T....

    Welcome to the ice your, COLUMBUS BLUUUUEEEEEEE JACKETS!

  98. M.... W....

    Very Great ❤
