על מה השיר ONE של מטאליקה מדבר? - קישור מצורף

על חייל שנפצע בגלל מוקש.
הרופאים לקחו אותו, הוא מבקש מהם להרוג אותו והם לא עושים את זה.
אחר כך הוא מייחל למוות שלו - "hold my breath as i wish for death
והוא נשאר ככה לנצח... שיר מפחיד, אבל כל כך טוב.

שואל השאלה:
סיפור אמיתי?

"the song's theme and lyrics are based on dalton trumbo's 1939 novel johnny got his gun, telling the tale of a soldier whose body is severely damaged by a landmine that he steps on. his arms, legs, eyes, mouth, nose, and ears are gone and he is unable to see, speak, smell, or hear. his mind functions perfectly, however, leaving him trapped inside his own body."

לא חושב.. לקוח מתוך איזה סרט.
the song is based on the idea of a soldier losing all of his limbs and jaw and being unable to hear, speak, or see, set to a world war i backdrop. in an interview in new zealand in 1989, ulrich describes the movie johnny got his gun as having a similar theme, and this was the reason it was incorporated into the video.
