Carpe Diem Baby Lyrics
Shake tree
Split sky
Part sea
Lose cool
Bleed the day
And break the rule
Dare, fail
Eat the dirt
And bite the nail
Then make me miss you
It don’t feel good until it hurts
So take this world and shake it
Come squeeze and suck the day
Come carpe diem, baby
Piss wine
Sink teeth
All mine
Break neck
Suffer through this
Cheat on death
Lose the time
Tear the map
And shoot the sign
Then make me miss you
It don’t feel good until it hurts
So take this world and shake it
Come squeeze and suck the day
Come carpe diem, baby
Dare, fail
Eat dirt
Bite the nail
Lose cool
Bleed the day
And break the rule
Lose the time
Tear the map
And shoot the sign
Then make me miss you
It don’t feel good until it hurts
So take this world and shake it
Come squeeze and suck the day
Come carpe diem, baby
Come carpe diem, baby

Some sexual innuendo, too.

it's actually "cheat on death" which would keep that number of cussing down....

im with Kookkie on this one, its about living every day of your life to the fullest. And yes, James has cussed in songs before (Fuel, Whiplash, Am I Evil, So What, Damage Inc.) i know theres a few more, but im just naming some of them. I doubt the sexual inuendo, because Carpe Diem means "sieze the day" and i dont see how any of it is anything sexual. And whoever submited this fucked up the lyrics pretty bad.

This song kicks ass, The solo is just so fucking cool. You can just imagine Hammett rising on some huge kind of plinth as he plays it. Very good though,one of the best songs on Reload. That bluesy opening riff is fucking awesome.

i think i read somewhere that this song is based on JaymZ getting burned during a concert in Detroit

Seize the day, dude!

p.s. - "shit" is that the first time James has ever cursed in one of his songs?!?!? I doubt it, but I've never noticed it!

So fucking what Yeah metallica - so what. he cursed a little bit in this song
@mattziman He’s sworn since Kill Em All. Two fuckin’s alone in Whiplash. The most memorable swear word for me in any Metallica song is the line “I’ve outgrown that fucking lullaby” in Dyers Eve.

nah dude one of the lines in Fuel is "fuck it man, White knuckles tight!" so it may be the second or third but your right they don't do alot of swearing in the actual lyrics of the songs...they seem to reserve most of that for when they're actually onstage or doing an interview..

One of my favourite metallica songs because of its simple yet fundamental meanings.
PS - the lyrics are very messed up.

the lyrics up there ^^^^^^^^ aren't entirely correct.
