lol This song has nothing to do with a mental hospital if you look at other metallica songs it isnt like country their lyrics have double meanings these songs are paradoxes they use a story to make another meaning its not a simple asa person in a hospital if i was metallica i wouldnt waste my time writing a song about mental patients they would write something that their listeners could relate 2 personally i have been in mental wards and rehabs and jail and can relate to this song both ways... consider this song to the same meaning as bricks in the wall by pink floydd its about society and parents... This song is about how people are forced to grow up as everyone else there telling you to do your own thing... dont be like everyone else how hollywood and church religion schools how they say to dress this way how they say to talk how they say to act thats what it means this song is trying to show people how everyone follows one another be your own leader dont be a follower be yourself.... same thing as the song bricks in the wall
