Nothing Else Matters Lyrics

Rock out with Metallica lyrics for the song “Nothing Else Matters” from the iconic Metallica album The Black Album.

Nothing Else Matters Lyrics:
So close no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don’t just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don’t just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No nothing else matters

Nothing Else Matters: Song Meaning
Fans with Metallica tickets have always expected the songwriting of James Hetfield to be equally deep and dark. Previous Metallica lyrics for songs such as “One” and “Battery” focused on themes of helplessness and violence. James Hetfield and Metallica took a more mainstream approach with the lyrics to “Nothing Else Matters” which told the story of a dysfunctional relationship with a girlfriend. “Nothing Else Matters” had subject matter that spoke to music fans outside the Thrash Metal genre and helped sell a ton of Metallica tickets on the classic Wherever We May Roam Tour.

Nothing Else Matters: Guitar Tabs
Metallica singer James Hetfield had always turned the duties of lead guitar over to the likes of Dave Mustaine or Kirk Hammett, but he took the responsibility of recording all the guitar parts for “Nothing Else Matters”. The personal connection to the material comes out in the guitar work as much as the lyrics “To Nothing Else Matters”, and the power of both is always felt in concerts by fans with Metallica tickets. “Nothing Else Matters” also has a widely popular acoustic version that many see as the definitive version.

Nothing Else Matters: On Tour
As part of Metallica’s biggest album, The Black Album, “Nothing Else Matters” has become a favorite of fans with Metallica tickets, and it always has a premium spot in the set list. “Nothing Else Matters” helped propel the career of Metallica to worldwide acclaim along with other Black Album singles “Enter Sandman”, “Sad But True”, and “The Unforgiven”. Without these many successful singles and a discography of classic albums, Metallica tickets would not be some of the hottest tickets in the world today.
