Now I really want to read Johnny Got His Gun--

Honestly it's just now that I realized what message both the song and some parts of the music video (the movie clips, especially) are trying to convey. The second half hit me hard; I actually almost teared up at the part where it's revealed that the Morse code given out by the movie protagonist spells out "Kill me."

I can safely say this is a masterpiece and I would highly recommend it as both something to listen to and watch.

("The song is based on the idea of a soldier losing all of his limbs and being unable to hear, speak, or see, set to a World War I backdrop." --Wikipedia

One is also inspired by Johnny Got His Gun, I think.)
