What is the meaning behind blackened? The song talks about nuclear war, eradication of humanity, and complete destruction of the earth, as well as the loss of natural life. It deals with topics such as the world being plunged into frozen darkness. Laulu kertoo ydinsodasta, ihmiskunnan hävittämisestä ja maan täydellisestä tuhoutumisesta sekä luonnollisen elämän lopusta.
Definitely, Metallica has not lost its reputation as one of America's biggest rock bands. You guys did a jood gob on commenting what the song is about, and like the rest of the lyrics the members of the band have written (especially James), you can clearly notice how those lyrics are able to describe all kinds of situations, being some of them a bit exagerated, in most of the cases; but, in general terms, they tend to be taken from facts that happen in real life. And on the other hand, my salutations to the people from Finland, who had the opportunity of attending such a great rock concert, like the one showing up in the video! Greetings from South America!
