"Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" is a song by Metallica. It was featured on the Master of Puppets album.
Unlike its thrash follow-up in the album's running order, "Disposable Heroes", "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" begins as a slow lament driven by some of Hammet's most concise guitar playing of Metallica's career, then builds up to a liberated sound for the closing.
Keeping up with the theme of powerlessness of the Album, the lyrics portray one being tapped in insanity. Sleep my friend and you will see/The dream is my reality/They keep me locked up in this cage/Can't they see it's why my brain says "rage" and wanting to break free, No more can they keep us in/Listen damn it, we will win, and get there by what ever means, Mirror stares back hard/Kill, it's such a friendly word/Seems the only way/For reaching out again
All in all, it remains as one of metal's all time classics and a show case of Metallica's 20+ years in the genre.
