Carpe Diem Baby


Ah... The words "time to face the day" were in my head and reminded me of a Metallica song, but for the life of me I couldn't remember which one. I had the music and some of the words in my head, but couldn't quite place it. (Yes... I was even singing it quietly to myself.) Finally it came to me, but I had misremembered it. The song was My Friend of Misery. In my agoogling of the words, I found another one, that I do not remember at all. I've seen them in concert twice, but this, from 2011 actually looks like they were enjoying themselves. But yes, I must say that the song sort of sucks (I can say that because I love them to death), which may be why I don't remember it. Perhaps conveniently forgotten. I just looked it up and it was from Reload. The funny, weird, bizarre thing about this? That the words of the day are "Carpe Diem Baby"... and THIS.

Hit dirt, shake tree
Split sky, part sea
Strip smile, lose cool
Bleed the day and break the rule
Live to win, dare to fail
Eat the dirt and bite the nail
Then make me miss you
Then make me miss you
So wash your face away with dirt
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
Draw lead, piss wine
Sink teeth, all mine
Stoke fire, break neck
Suffer through this, cheat on death
Hug the curve, lose the time
Tear the map and shoot the sign
Then make me miss you ou yeah
Then make me miss you
So wash your face away with dirt
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
Yeah suck it!!!
Live to win, dare to fail
Eat dirt, bite the nail
Strip smile, lose cool
Bleed the day and break the rule
Hug the curve, loose the time
Tear the map and shoot the sign
Then make me miss you
Come on, come on
Then make me miss you
So wash your face away with dirt
It don't feel good until it hurts
So take this world and shake it
Come squeeze and suck the day
Come make me miss you
Come carpe diem baby

(Carpe Diem Baby by Metallica)
