Knowing the plot of the movie makes the song much more enjoyable. 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. Metallica - Welcome Home (Sanitarium) Welcome to where time stands still No one leaves and no one will Moon is full, never seems to change Just labeled.
