Awesome song with an awesome video. The idea somehow came when Metallica were working on Master of Puppets about what it would be like if someone was alive but couldn't see, hear, or communicate with the world. After hearing this idea, they were shown a movie, "Johnny got his Gun" and the guy was in a war and got all his limbs blown off and couldn't communicate but was still alive. They wrote a song about this.
