Sanitarium

again this song could also mean about school bullies and teachers again as i said above it could be a kid being picked on by a bully or a teacher.... assuring me that im insane brings that hint.... eminems brain damage song.... i see it also as a picked on kid being bullied and then in the end standing up against him.. you gotta think metallica was appealing to the teenage generation when this song came out same as the punk bands of today... there gonna aim at them to sell their cds... same thing as cigarette and alcohol companies... they wanted to relate to these kids..... This song is about Retaliation and being different... alot of kids are bullied because they are different than other kids have braces are slow geeks nerds punks goths.... that is equal to being mentally deranged in this song... and then its telling them to stand up for themselves... that is what i think it means
