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 gonna 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
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 gonna 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
While clutching to what you had thought was real
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 is it you think you’re gonna find?
Hypocrite
Boredom sets into the boring mind
It suits you fine
Struggle within
Your ruin
Struggle within
You seal your own coffin
Struggle within
The struggling within
Turning it into your prison cell
Advantages are taken, not handed out
While you struggle inside your hell
Grabbing for something you’ve got to feel
Closing in
The pressure upon you is so unreal
It suits you fine
Struggle within
Your ruin
Struggle within
You seal your own coffin
Struggle within
The struggling within
While clutching to what you had thought was real
What the hell?
What is it you think you’re gonna find?
Hypocrite
Boredom sets into the boring mind
It suits you fine
Struggle within
Your ruin
Struggle within
You seal your own coffin
Struggle within
The struggling within

About someone suffering from a self-defeating personality.
its about taking a dump and the struggle within when trying to force it out

i believe this is the sequal (or similar) to "The frayed ends of sanity" it's about a paranoid person who's eating himself alive because of his own paranoia, this reminds me of my stoner mate who gets paranoid about jack-shit
i love the intero to this song :)
hmm yep, this is how i feel a lot of the time
when it hits 2:55...favourite part of the song
This could be written for themselves, like after being frustrated about their own (Hetfield / Ulrich) personality shortcomings.. I don't know if that is what it's saying though..
But assuming it's not directed to themselves, then probably it's to the stupid masses. Most people are stupid. Most people in these fanzines are stupid. Most Mathematics students are stupid. Most art majors are stupid.
Most people with Phd's in Anthropology are stupid. Most high school dropouts are stupid. Most foreigners are stupid.
Boredom sets into a boring mind.. The struggle within suits them fine.
I am smart. Most of you reading this are stupid. Don't blame me, you seal your own coffin.
@lyricstudent if you have to say "I am Smart" then you are obviously a dumbass!

The intro kicks ass! It reminds me of a tank rolling in...
you all got it wrong!
it's about the HULK!
na, i don't really think that but you can totally plug in the lyrics and it fits kinda nice. then you can close your eyes and imagine the HULK busting some shit up!
HULK STRUGGLES!!!
I think it's so awesome how this song fades in from My Friend of Misery. It's just awesome and perfect.
