Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't utter a single word
Die, die, die my darling
Just shut your pretty eyes
I'll be seeing you again
Yeah, I'll be seeing you in hell
So don't cry to me oh baby
Don't cry to me oh baby
You should have seen it a-comin' on
Don't cry to me oh baby
Had to know it was in your power
Don't cry to me oh baby
Dead-end goal for a dead-end girl
Don't cry to me oh baby
And now your life drains on that floor
Don't cry to me oh baby
Die, die, die my darling
Don't utter a single word
Die, die, die my darling
Just shut your pretty mouth
I'll be seeing you again
I'll be seeing you in hell
Don't cry to me oh baby
Your future's in an oblong box
Don't cry to me oh baby
You should have seen it a-comin' on
Don't cry to me oh baby
Had to know it was in your power
Don't cry to me oh baby
Dead-end goal for a dead-end girl
Don't cry to me oh baby
Now your life drains on that floor
Don't cry to me oh baby
Die, die, die my darling
Don't utter a single word
Die, die, die my darling
Shut your pretty mouth
I'll be seeing you again
I'll be seeing you in hell
Die, die, die
Die, die, die
Die, die, die
Die
The song "Die Die My Darling" by Metallica is a dark and ominous song that depicts a man threatening his lover to die. The lyrics start off with the man commanding the woman to "die, die, die my darling" in a cold and emotionless tone. He tells her not to say a word and just close her eyes, as she will see him again in hell. He then goes on to tell her not to cry and that her future is in an "oblong box." He continues to berate her and tells her that her life is a dead-end goal and that she should have seen it coming.
The lyrics of the song suggest that the woman knows the man intends to harm her, as he tells her that she should have known it was in her power. It is a deeply disturbing song that explores the dark and twisted nature of human relationships. The message seems to be that the man is in a position of power over the woman and he enjoys the control he has over her.
Overall, the song is a haunting and chilling portrayal of a violent and abusive relationship. It speaks to the darker side of humanity and the destructive nature of power dynamics in relationships.
