The lyrical theme of this song is dissociative identity disorder and schizophrenia, inspired by the 1978 Anthony Hopkins film Magic. James Hetfield sings from the point of view of an evil personality.

This Black cd was great. After that one. All the other Metallica songs were too light. Everything before 1991 was great. Loved it!
