I feel good knowing that there is someone else that feels alot like I do and has the balls and talent to sing about it. Trust me this disease isn't fun and and the funny thing is the docs tell me that this music is too negative. I know this isn't a very fuckin' metal explination but believe me I am VERY metal.This is just a song that gives a point of view from someone that has been called mentally ill and is being forced to see that his views on things are wrong.Finally the only way to feel like you can make a point is to kill the fucks that have been holding you down and telling you that you are getting better. So i tcan seem that time stands still at times and no one leaves, it's always there. One problem with BPdisorder is that you "cycle" these feelings and moods can't be controlled.There is no cure. I have read alot of these lyrics from day one and with the most recent St Anger song "Unnamed Feeling" get the impression that James might be BP also.It lad me to drug abuse to change my moods I didn't like and try and keep people away. The word mental illness gives people a certain image that is just not fuckin'true.There are different degrees of everything.īeing "Labeled mentally deranged" but by who? I feel alot of the rage and being misunderstood as crazy when in fact I am not. This song talks to me about my mental ilneess of being bipolar. Knowing the plot of the movie makes the song much more enjoyable.I think that all songs will mean something different to all.you know "Eye Of the Beholder" type shit. If you're a Metallica fan, you obviously know this song, but if you if you haven't seen One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, I suggest you watch it. What's interesting is the fact that temp of this section of the song matches to the atmosphere of the scene. Chief, who happened to be his best friend, figured that there's no point in letting his friend live the rest of life as a half-dead human being. This is done because Jacks was almost dead at that point as a result of a lobotomy operation performed on him by doctors at the Sanitarium. Last set of lines, the outro, refers to the fact that Chief, who's native American, kills Jack. This is the same tactic that kindergarten teachers use against kids because kinds ( and adults ) usually fear their parents. So all his childish behaviors will be reexported to his mom. "Build my fear of what's out there / And cannot breathe the open air" refers to the fact that Nurse Ratched lies to her patients by telling nonsense, like in the case of Billy where she tell him that she knows his mother. As the only sane person of Sanitarium, presumably, Jack is always determined to escape it, thus the line, "I see our freedom in my sight."Īs I was reading further into the lyrics, it occurred to me that some lines specifically refer to certain individuals of the movie. The line, "Just labeled mentally deranged" describe the fact that sanitarium houses mentally ill people. The lyrics of the song accurately reflects the dark atmosphere surrounding the persons portrayed in the movie.įirst verse gives a introduction to the setting of the sanitarium and what it's about. The movie is about the a man ( Jack ) who managed to avoid prison time by pretending to be crazy, thus going into sanitarium instead. The song is based on the movie, One Who Flew Over Cuckoo's Nest starring Jack Nicholson. Among the other fast-moving songs on Master of Puppets, this stands out for its melodic guitar solos and emotional lyrics. "Sanitarium" is a six and a half minute heavy metal power ballad by Metallica that features some of James Hetfield's best writing.
