ANEKDOTEN ZU The Day That Never Comes


Am 4. August 2008 hat Lars Ulrich in einem MTV Interview erklärt, dass der Text des Songs die Themen Vergebung und Verbitterung behandelt und von dem typischen Vater-Sohn Verhältnis inspiriert wurde. Der Inhalt des Musik-Videos ist hingegen ein ganz anderer und folgt einer anderen Interpretation: Ähnlich wie im Video zu One wird en Kriegssetting gezeigt.

Frontman James Hetfield dazu: "That's the beauty, I think, of writing vague but powerful lyrics – that someone like a movie director can interpret it in his own way and obviously, someone creative is able to take the metaphors and apply them to whatever he needs in his own life," the frontman explained. "The main [theme of the video] is the human element of forgiveness and someone doing you wrong, you feeling resentment and you being able to see through that in the next situation that might be similar and not take your rage or resentment out on the next person and basically keep spreading the disease of that through life...The one thing that I wasn't keen on here was Metallica plugging into a modern war or a current event [that] might be construed as some sort of political statement on our part... There are so many celebrities that soapbox their opinions, and people believe it's more valid because they're popular. For us, people are people – you should all have your own opinion. We are hopefully putting the human element in what is an unfortunate part of life. There are people over there dealing with situations like this, and we're showing the human part of being there."
