The writing credits on this song go to Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. Jason Newsted, who was the band's bass player at the time, explained that to him, the song is about a person who is being put through mental torture.
Some lyric analysis: "I'm sowing the seeds I take for granted" - He gets what he gives based on what he does to other people. "Caught under wheels roll" - He can't stop abusing or being abused. "Feed me a cure" - He is asking for help. The point of the song is, don't abuse unless you can take the abuse, or don't dish out what you can't take.
