Savatage: Mentally Yours Meaning
Mentally Yours Lyrics
With the friends he made
Why did they send him away
He drove his mommy mad
His daddy he ran
They didn't understand
Now he gazes his cold nights through
Reliving all of the things he's do
If he only had another...

In the words of Jon Oliva, Savatage's lead singer and co-founder:
"'Mentally Yours', 'Summer's Rain' and 'Thorazine Shuffle' together form a trilogy. It is true that the story that runs through these three songs is fiction, but this time it is based upon facts. It's a pity, but in America these things occur too often. It's a story about Timmy. In 'Mentally Yours' he's still a little boy. His father left and his mother and him drive each other completely insane because they can't live with each other. Timmy has a difficult childhood and eventually he runs away from home with his girlfriend. But he's so twisted, that he often beats her up. He torches the cat...to sum it up he's totally insane, sadistic and sick."
