He shouted out the ...And Justice for All<\/em> track “One” as being that song, particularly the lyric, “Darkness imprisoning me \/ All that I see \/ Absolute horror \/ I cannot live \/ I cannot die \/ Trapped in myself \/ Body my holding cell.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI wanted the movie to feel like a song, so I used Metallica\u2019s \u2018One,\u2019\u201d the director explained.<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> Metallica’s Kirk Hammett Names the Album ‘Everyone in the World Should Own’<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIt starts off intense, then gets melodic,\u201d Coogler said of both Sinners\u00a0<\/em>and “One,”\u00a0\u201cand going somewhere just fucking crazy.
