It really gives you the feel that your in a sanitarium. Evan from Otway, OhThis is my 4th favorite Metallica song. Billy from Cresco, PaGreat song.I love it.I agree with the patient pov thing and the lyrics do back that up. Joel from Columbia, ScActually, a sanatarium was a place for sick people to get better ie TB or drug/drink problems.Ī sanatorium was an outdated term for a mental hospital.So I'd agree with a lot of James's lyrics here from that standpoint. It actually helped in the long run I'd likely be dead now if I hadn't gone but at that time, it was hell. Syton from Colorado Springs, CoI've been in a sanitarium as well, so this song means something to me.Ej from Brownwood, Txthis is the greatest song ever written by any band.Third (I promise to get off my high horse): The song was/is inspired by Ken Kesey's novel and no, they can't leave at their own free will. Second (Mike,Canada): Most patients were sent there against their will Joel from Columbia, ScFirst off (the guy from AZ): Learn how to spell.Lars Ulrich from CopenhagenOne of my all time faves.Myra from Chicago, IlOMG This song is a masterpiece! Metallica knows what they're talkin about in this song.Alex from Wayland, MnI wouldn't say its the greatest song but it rocks.The Rev Jr from New York ,awesome song, my personal metallica fave with master of puppets #2 and one #3.Hetfield from Port Louis, MauritiusThis song rocks!!! Metallica- my greatest band ever.Adam from Yarmouth, MeMy all time favorite metallica song it is crazy awesome!!!!!!!!!!.Dylan from Mora, Mni beleive this song is about being trapped in an emotional cage at home, misunderstood of the way you are by the parents or whoever you live with.a place where the emotionally and mentally sick are kept with no hope for escape. if you have lived in a dysfunctional alcoholic family, you would completely understand how home is like a sanitarium. unlike other forms of music (rap) where the theme of the song is pretty self-evident, in rock, metaphors are used. Ray from San Jose, CaIf i have the story correct, hetfield's dad was an abusive alcoholic.Mandy from Hammond, InTo me this song is about growing up with parents that never let me go outside,I was always grounded.Always locked in the house.Great song!!!.Jacob from Jackson, TnJames is depicting his home as a sanitarium, and how he was held down with his Christian Science household.Jacob from Jackson, TnBullet for My Valentine has also covered this song.There's so many layers to their lyrics, I don't think even they were conscious of that when they were writing these songs. Despite what he looks like on stage, James too has stage fright like most performers.Īnd so on. Vlad from BulgariaAm I the only person in the world who figured out that the Sanitarium is a metaphor for the stage? "Moon is full, never seems to change" - the spotlight always shining in the lead singer's eyes "Dream the same thing every night" - the same setlist every night "I see our freedom in my sight" - yeah it is, on your left and right "Build my fear of what's out there" - well, that's us, the audience.Covid from Locked In My HouseThis is about how people are feeling about being safer at home.
