The Day That Never Comes Lyrics

Metallica lyrics for “The Day That Never Comes” from the new Metallica album Death Magnetic

The Day That Never Comes Lyrics:
Born to push you around
Better just stay down
You pull away
He hits the flesh
You hit the ground

Mouth so full of lies
Tend to black your eyes
Just keep them closed
Keep praying
Just keep waiting

Waiting for the one
The day that never comes
When you stand up and feel the warmth
But the sunshine never comes, no

No, the sunshine never comes

Push you cross that line
Just stay down this time
Hide in yourself,
Crawl in yourself,
You’ll have your time

God I’ll make them pay
Take it back one day
I’ll end this day
I’ll splatter color on this gray

Waiting for the one,
The day that never comes
When you stand up and feel the warmth
But the sunshine never comes

Love is a four-letter word
And never spoken here

Love is a four-letter word
Here in this prison

I suffer this no longer,
I’ll put an end to this I swear
This I swear

The sun will shine
This, I swear
This, I swear
This, I swear
This, I swear!!!

The Day That Never Comes: Video
After the release of album St. Anger, fans with Metallica tickets were anxious for a return to old days of Metallica. After years off and in the studio, Metallica released the music video for the first single “The Day That Never Comes” from the upcoming album Death Magnetic. With a war setting that recalled the dark single “One”, “The Day That Never Comes” garnered a ton of radio airplay and critical acclaim. Fans who have bought Metallica tickets for decades also liked Metallica’s approach to the song, which was a much more traditional anthem than the songs of St. Anger.

The video for “The Day That Never Comes” made allusions to the Iraq War, but the lyrics did not make a political statement. The video gave viewers a sense of hope in men and people. This message was a stark difference between the war-themed video to “One”, which was a song with black lyrics. The actual lyrics for “The Day That Never Comes” are not about war at all but about something almost anyone can relate to.

The Day That Never Comes: Meaning
The lyrics to “The Day That Never Comes” are about the battle between a father and son that are almost always present in a man’s life. Written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo, the entirety of Metallica made their presence felt in the crafting of the song. Old-school fans who have always bought Metallica tickets liked the return of guitar solos and pure guitar mastery in “The Day That Never Comes” that was curiously absent from St. Anger. Now, fans can buy Metallica tickets for a chance to hear “The Day That Never Comes” live during Metallica tour dates!
