The theme of this song was derived from the 1971 movie Johnny Got His Gun. The speaker is "fed through the tube that sticks in me / Just like a wartime novelty. / Tied to machines that make me be." During the chorus, he stops to "Hold my breath as I wish for death. / Oh please God, wake me." He concludes with a rant which explains his grim situation: "Landmine / Has taken my sight, / Taken my speech, / Taken my hearing, / Taken my arms, / Taken my legs, / Taken my soul, / Left me with a life in Hell." For ten points, name this fourth song off the Metallica album …And Justice for All, whose title exemplifies the extreme solitude of the speaker.
