I read that this song is about Dave Mustaine and his family dealing with his mother-in-law's diagnosis and suffering with Alzheimer's disease. I haven't had to deal with a loved one with the disease, but this song communicates to me some of the pain that it must be like to have a loved one suffer in this way. At least that's the impression I get from most of the song, particularly the first part.
The section starting with "I just want to talk" and ending with "I just wish you could say my name again" sounds like a relationship that has soured.
The part about "the culprit was the mercury" sounds like mercury poisoning or when they used to use mercury in treatments.
