The Struggle Within is the twelfth and last track from the 1991 album Metallica. It was written by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich and has a length of 3:53. It doesn't appear on any single released by Metallica.

The Struggle Within was written and sung during the band's last day in studio. James Hetfield had run out of steam and he has since admitted that "the struggle within" was the trouble he had coming up with the words for this song. With the benefit of hindsight, he also sees the song as indicative of the anger he was feeling at the time, and his struggle to deal with it. Said Hetfield, "I'm no psychiatrist, but it's right there."

The Struggle Within was played live 17 times. The first wasn't during The Black Album's tour, but on May 7, 2012, in Prague (Czech Republic), celebrating twenty years of the album's release.

For the Black Album's 20th anniversary, the band played the entire album backwards, starting with this song. Before they started, an intro video was played with the drum intro of the song.

Metallica The Struggle Within Lyrics:
Reaching out for something you've got to feel
While clutching to what you had thought was real
Kicking at a dead horse pleases you
No way of showing your gratitude
S-s-so many things you don't want to do
What is it? What have you got to lose?
What the hell? What the hell?
What is that you think you're gonna find?
Hypocrite, hypocrite
Boredom sets into the boring mind
it suits you fine
(Struggle within) your ruined
(Struggle within) you seal your own coffin
(Struggle within) the struggling within
Home is not a home, it becomes a hell
Turning it into your prison cell
Advantages are taken, not handed out
While you struggle inside your hell
reaching out
Grabbing for something you've got to feel
(Closing in) closing in
The pressure upon you is so unreal
it suits you fine
(Struggle within) your ruin
(Struggle within) you seal your own coffin
(Struggle within) struggling within
Struggle
Go!
Reaching out for something you've got to feel
While clutching to what you had thought was real
What the hell?
What is it you think you're gonna find?
Hypocrite
Boredom sets into the boring mind
it suits you fine
(Struggle within) your ruin
(Struggle within) you seal your own coffin
(Struggle within) the struggling within
