In My Darkest Hour

In My Darkest Hour

Megadeth

This song is about Dave Mustaine’s former girlfriend who didn’t pay enough attention to him. He tells her how important she was to him, but how she was never there for him.

Mustaine wrote the music for this song after having found out that his former bandmate Cliff Burton from Metallica had died in an accident. He immediately took some dope, started crying and wrote the song in one sitting. The lyrics, however, have nothing to do with Burton.

The 2004 remastered and remixed version of this song features an extended introduction.
