Disturbed – Monster Lyrics 18 years ago
I personally believe that the song is talking about when a very close friend, or even a lover that you trusted so much betrays you.
"You made a monster of me
Through all your wicked lies
Forever tortured by you"
That means that you trusted them and that you believed everything they told you, and then they betrayed your trust, and contradicted their words with their actions, and how that caused you to give into your hatred, and anger toward them, becoming consumed by it and ultimately it begins to control you.
"Don't look away
You're just a former regret of mine"
That means that you are demanding that they look at what they have done to you, and what you have become.
"And when you want, just look away"
This is talking about how what they have done to you is so horrifying that it is unbearable to look at/watch.
That is my belief on the meaning behind the song. I believe this is by far one of the best Disturbed songs thus far.
Then again, I have yet to come across a Disturbed song that I don't like.
