Ten Thousand Fists in the crowd... For clarity, the song with a bush speech is not "Guarded." This can be misinterpreted, as what I wrote above was slightly unclear. |

Guys, let us not go overboard and >overanalyze< the song... while Disturbed is including a segment from a Bush speech on their album, that does not mean that the song has to be about war- sure, there can be metaphorical content, but in order to prove that we'd need to hear the rest of the album, which we haven't. This song seems to be about someone who had, for whatever reason, encountered a breakup- but its from the point of view of the person who's doing the breaking. The line "Just another tie... I know I need to sever" particularly the point of NEEDING to sever away from the relashionship, perhaps indicates an abusive relashionship... though it can relate to all or any of the people we've broken up with. The chorus, "Guarding yourself from the love another, left you with nothing tonight" can be taken literally; the breakup has left you with nobody to be with on that lonely night. "Ever haunted, by the trappings of this life Sweet Redemption Just in front of me Well now, it seems once again that I've lost another one of the one's that have broke through the wall Damned" These lines show how tempted you are to get back into the relashionship, just so you can be with someone on those lonely nights... The lines regarding "compromise" seem to show how there's no possible way to get exactly what you want- to have all the positives of the relashionship with a balance of the negatives. Those lines speak of how the negatives will outweigh the positives... but then, the chorus comes in and speaks of how there is "Nothing tonight" indicating that the destruction of the negative aspects also destroys all of the positives along with it. |
