Bullet For My Valentine - Welcome Home (Sanitarium) Lyrics






Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Just labeled mentally deranged

Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, No windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred

Sleep my friend and you will see
That dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
Can't they see it's why my brain says rage?

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Build my fear of what's out there
And cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
Assuring me that I'm insane

They think our heads are in their hands
But violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
He's getting better, can't you tell?

No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
But they think this saves us from our Hell

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Fear of living on
Natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
Got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
Seems the only way
For reaching out again.

  4. a.... s....

    Hmm
    .me 4 yrs ago...i was deemed insane.19 cliff meds...gotta love tremors and tics

  5. J.... M....

    Not gonna lie. I didn’t hate it, and I’ve been rocking Metallica since ‘88..

  6. R.... H....

    This role play is unique in it takes place in a mental hospital where I want jump right in the story line I'd like to try to be a patient who is lead by the person to do his wants

  7. m.... ....

    Want to know why there are no good Megadeth covers because there shit is to technical to play

  8. J.... A....

    Instrumentals are pretty good, vocals ruined it for me.

  9. g.... 1....

    For me this is better than the original...

  10. J.... D....

    haha I am so used to Metallica's version that I expected the lead guitarist to be as bad as Kirk, but was surprised he nailed solos

    J.... D....

    Kirk's not bad, just old and drunk.

    J.... D....

    How could you tell with the lead so buried in the mix?

  11. �.... ....

    The modern sound.......

  12. J.... ....

    This is not from the poison

  13. B.... H....

    How have I not heard this cover before. Especially from a band I loved over 10 years ago. Spot on cover, sounds amazing. Probably the best Metallica cover I've heard to date. Fucking awesome

  14. a.... j....

    I like this much respect for these guys ..I like what the did to the mix and the vocals

  15. Z.... K....

    I fucking love this moment 3:47

  16. o.... W....

    everything was good beside the vocals

  17. L.... 1....

    This cover kicks massive ass

  18. L.... O....

    good music the voice Sucks though

  19. A.... A....

    Damn. They totally had me until the vocals came in. Still very good. The whiny vocals just aren’t doin it for me.

  20. M.... a....

    incrível como alguns covers chegam a ser melhores que a música original

  21. S.... H....

    Great cover of a Great song.

  22. M.... s....

    08/10/2018
    Mt foda !! Simplesmente animal !!!💥

  23. J.... F....

    good version

  24. J.... B....

    Wow mine best singer

  25. I.... O....

    Better than the original 😍

  26. T.... V....

    y'all talking shit about this should be proud of the new bands still have influence on old bands like Metallica... BFMV is one of the only bands that still worth something and make quality music for their gender... if you think you can do better go on and record your own cover, otherwise shut the fuck up

  27. M.... ....

    By BMFV standards, this is amazing. People have the misconception that it is supposed to sound exactly like the original - which is why it’s called a COVER, it’s not meant to sound the same. I’m not saying this version is better, but it’s up there in terms of vocals and guitar tone. That’s all.

  28. T.... S....

    always liked this versdion

  29. D.... ....

    3:56 The drummer is not playing Lars Ulrich's drum patterns correctly. LOL

    D.... ....

    DMiyash248 To whomever the hell this is......I typically don't take any time to read comments below, let alone comment, but for whatever reason I was scrolling and I came to this and could not bite my tongue. I could never understand why people make themselves sound so silly and ignorant in "public" If you can even call this public. But nevertheless, in response to your comment Moose isn't playing the same beat as Lars on purpose. It's a cover, and a damn good one at that. They pay homage to an awesome song. They kept it very close to the original and at the same time made it their own. The drumming is amazing actually, faster, heavier and much more precision. He adds some sick fills and more......But you're a professional Drummer right? I'm sure you could plop yourself down on a throne in the studio and do a much better job! What a bummer, if he only could've played Lars's drum patters correctly it might have been a good song!Lol Anyway, wish I could stay and chat. Gotta run!!

  30. j.... h....

    I think BFMV could do a good job on One by Metallica..
    right up their ally

  31. V.... 0....

    this is COVER is great cause is sounds like the metallica one but with theyr touch and like with a good quality sound

  32. D.... ....

    To all those that say BfmV should not cover this song as they are emo not metal....

    Who is it that says you can only cover songs sang by groups of the same style?

    Probably the best cover of Nirvana (grunge-rock)'s biggest hit Smells Like Teen Spirit, was by Tori Amos, a classically trained singer-songwriter.

    Wonderwall by Oasis? 1950's/60 crooner Paul Anka. Anka's song 'Put Your Head on my Shoulder' was also expertly covered by emo band Good Charlotte.

    And of course - the White Stripes (heavy rock) covering Dolly Parton, and Nirvana themselves covering David Bowies 'The Man who Sold the World'

  33. g.... B....

    Damn, i got nothing against bfmv but as soon as I heard the voice, I was begging for James's powerful raspy voice back in the 80s

  34. L.... T....

    I swear moose is the greatest drummer out their. Theh have two of the best guitarists and omg one sexy vocalist. I fucking love this band

  35. V.... E....

    I Love you❤

  36. V.... E....

    I Love you

  37. f.... ....

    The overall sound is decent but the vocals are trash imo...

  38. P.... S....

    Voice is too mellow for Metallica's style of playing

  39. V.... Y....

    This reminds me of Michael Myers!

  40. W.... S....

    show demais

  41. B.... B....

    I think the original is better but this is sick as hell too!

  42. A.... B....

    Goodyear music 👍

  43. x.... B....

    Bfmv is pretty good and I love metallica

  44. G.... K....

    awesome!

  45. J.... S....

    Hey guys, let us be fair. James and Matt have such different voices, you cannot compare them to each other. I would say if you love the voice of Matt more, you will freaking love this cover. :) (And hell I do)

  46. E.... H....

    Holy crap those vocals are shit

  47. S.... ....

    NOT BAD ......NOT GOOD

  48. R.... R....

    I’ll love this song forever, no matter who does it

  49. A.... S....

    Even much better than the original . .

  50. W.... S....

    boa essa musica

  51. G.... ....

    Wow!😍❤

  52. R.... W....

    I love the original and this cover is awesome!!!!

  53. b.... m....

    I do not know why, I just want to say the truth: When I want to listen to Welcome Home, I prefer this version.

    Better than Original Version in studio Quality

    b.... m....

    It's done many years apart , just have to remember that.

  54. B.... T....

    fucking Slayer!!!

  55. C.... T....

    3:57 \m\ (T_T )

  56. E.... C....

    Damn the guitar is amazing in both versions

  57. A.... I....

    its actually a really good cover. Least the guitars on point. But what do I know, I've only been a metalhead for a lifetime...

  58. M.... G....

    Hard penis activated

  59. V.... m....

    I love how they filtered matt's voice

  60. K.... ....

    Liking Matt's voice better xD....

    So this is awesome! Cuz the one thing that makes me "meh" about Metallica is the voice.

    So yeah! GO MATT TUCK!!!

    K.... ....

    The voice? Hetfields voice is awesome!

    K.... ....

    @Boris Antas especially in the 80s!

  61. q.... 1....

    For me its better than orginal

  62. A.... G....

    fuck limp bizkit

  63. I.... A....

    Not that bad of a cover imo

  64. K.... D....

    One of the best covers of this song

  65. M.... S....

    yeah, atleast it's better than limp bizkits version. i have never listened to bullet for my valentine before, i am however a big metallica fan and that breakdown before the solo was great, but the vocals wont cut it for me. of course, a cover is an own interpretation and i really dont mind the extra harmonies.

  66. B.... B....

    i see everyone shouting at the "metal elitist" but no slanderous comments (or any for that matter) from such people lmao ya'll need to chill

  67. J.... C....

    only flaw I see in this is that matts voice is too passive on some parts

  68. M.... L....

    Can't stop listening to 3:55

  69. C.... ....

    Vocals are fucking horrible

  70. M.... L....

    3:56...the drummer probably said, "nobody said I have to play like Lars" hahahaha

  71. A.... S....

    listen goddammit . . !!! even it's much better than metallica versions,,

  72. A.... E....

    no energy, voice weak

  73. R.... W....

    wow this is absolutely terrible... The vocals is weak as shit, and the guitar sounds super thin. The screams do not at anything to this song I anyway, shape, or form at all.... Like I can understand why some people like this..... But i honestly can not like this in anyway.... This is just a horrible cover by a very mehhhhh band at best and fucking awful at worst......

    R.... W....

    your grammar hurts and the way you write is truly retarded

  74. D.... B....

    To be honest, this is awful. 👎🏻

  75. P.... ....

    I love the style of Pagets playing.

    P.... ....

    These solos in The Poison album are masterpiece.

  76. R.... 8....

    Not gonna lie. This sounds really awesome. Obviously, the original will always have a special place but BfmV did a splendid job on this nonetheless.

    R.... 8....

    heard their cover of domination?

    R.... 8....

    Hmmm. Will check that out too. Thanks for the referral.

    R.... 8....

    good job ? This is not a cover... this is a ripoff. Any cover band will do this. Meaning.. play it exactly as metallica does.

    R.... 8....

    @Ricardo Pereira I mean the screaming metalica doesnt do but yeah

  77. S.... C....

    This is weak metallica is better

  78. C.... N....

    sleep well my friend rip

  79. T.... ....

    Not bad even though I'm not a huge fan of bullet for my Valentine

  80. D.... O....

    i think its ok but its inferior in every way to metallica's

  81. A.... S....

    2008/2016! y aun la escucho!

  82. j.... D....

    Pretty good musically.
    But even tho i like the vocalist's voice , its too weak comparing to James's voice . The original is definitely better.

  83. J.... B....

    Just in the pre-chorus part. Where's the thrash tone on that guitar?

  84. M.... ....

    they are metal af or they were metal asf idk about now

    M.... ....

    they still got it. they even got better live. watch the rock am ring 2016 video.

  85. K.... S....

    I'll be honest BFMV didn't do good on this >.< I think Metallica sounds better....>.<

    K.... S....

    well duh original is a
    always gonna have that authentic sounds

    K.... S....

    +Mimmy Lou Tuck Mmmhmmm xD

    K.... S....

    TheWisemanP Ik .-.

  86. F.... F....

    The Comment section is just bunch of kids complaining weather BFMV is metal or emo

    F.... F....

    whether*

    F.... F....

    I'm a year late, but I don't really see any of that. Anyways I don't think a genre is something to argue over, however I personally think they're Metalcore. (More or less Punk Metal)

    F.... F....

    been a fan since day one , can confirm ... they are emo

  87. M.... L....

    You can definitely see from this song that they took this style and incorporated it into their own songs! You can see why Metallica was a big influence for them!

  88. E.... B....

    Son to' puto'

  89. J.... N....

    the bullet version is better

    J.... N....

    this cover is ok, but metallica rules and i am fun of both bands, also i would love to give my ass to metallica (no homo)

    J.... N....

    + The WisemanP Not saying the solos here are bad or anything, but they aren't close to Kirk's ability and more importantly feel & groove.

    J.... N....

    Jack Hunns That's like saying, KSE didn't do a great job covering Holy Diver!

    J.... N....

    @Jorge Nataniel Brito And that, right there, is the comment that makes you a shitty person. I hope you've grown up in the 2 years since you posted that vile needless bullshit.

    J.... N....

    funny joke right? Oh you for real

  90. P.... ....

    No emotions in his voice, unfortunately

  91. L.... D....

    the comment section is were you go to see just how jaded the metal community is. you guys seem like a fun group of people

    L.... D....

    I'm replying to an old ass comment I know, but at least there is some sensible people here. Though they get shot down by the retards.

  92. J.... C....

    is this a joke?

  93. s.... v....

    I don't know if I like it, the voice sounds weird to me

  94. T.... U....

    I don't know, Matt's voice seems to fit better then James' in this one.

  95. K.... V....

    Best cover by the best band. Way better than Metallica's.

    K.... V....

    No just no..

    K.... V....

    Metallica is trash. Barely contributed anything to the music scene in the last 30 years. Bullet for my Valentine has done way more and been more influential in a fraction of the time.

  96. O.... ....

    I'm not a metal elitist, I just know a bad song when I hear one. This is fucking trash

    O.... ....

    You know someone's an elitist when they start their sentence with " I'm not an elitist"........... 😂😂😝

    O.... ....

    +Ilthilior what how? I meant this cover of the song 😂

    O.... ....

    +Tristian Andrews that's not true at all actually

    O.... ....

    +OceanBlue you said I know a bad song. you didn't mention it's a cover

    O.... ....

    +sabata414 I'm implying the cover

  97. L.... L....

    This is an amazing cover

  98. B.... D....

    CCC METALLİCA CCC

  99. H.... V....

    So many metal elitists in the comment section, why can't you learn to love all metal and enjoy the music? Clearly Metallica was a big influence for BFMV, they're only paying their respects by doing a cover
