Nothing Else Matters Lyrics
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
[Refrain]
And nothing else matters
[Verse 2]
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
[Refrain]
And nothing else matters
[Verse 3]
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day, for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
[Refrain]
And nothing else matters
[Chorus]
Never cared for what they do
Never carеd for what they know
But I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't bе much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
[Refrain]
And nothing else matters
[Chorus]
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
[Verse 5]
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
[Refrain]
And nothing else matters
[Verse 6]
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day, for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
[Chorus]
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know
[Verse 7]
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
[Refrain]
No, nothing else matters

I’ve always been a big Metallica fan. I think it’s funny, my intro to them was probably way later than so many people who have always loved them. But when I was a teenager, I went to Outside Lands, and I definitely knew Metallica songs from video games and stuff, but I went to Outside Lands and saw their set and was like, “This is a rock band. It’s kind of a gateway to metal because they’re so hooky and you can hold onto so much of it and it actually can get stuck in your head. So that’s what I’ve always loved about Metallica is that they don’t shy away from a great hook.

It was just so fun to take a part in it. I feel like my version almost sounds baroque. Literally, James [Hetfield] does all sorts of weird octave jumps and stuff that I can’t do, and I almost have a Billie Eilish approach of right by the microphone, performing it the opposite of them, which was really fun to lean into.
