| Disturbed – Fear Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song is diolauge between the tortured and their torturers, or to make it more personal: the outcast and the outcasters. | |
| Disturbed – Droppin' Plates Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| It's basically about the struggles of being and up and coming metal band, during a time in which metal was thought to be a dead genre of music. | |
| Disturbed – Deify Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
No real question about what this song is about really, the quote Horizon6 posted earlier is straight from the horses' mouth: "The song's not specifically about George Bush, it's about people like him. It's meant to be cryptic and ambiguous. It's about attributing God-like qualities to politicians and public figures. That's why in the beginning you hear that sample from Bush's 9/11 speech. It's the perfect example of someone who was attributed God-like power, and deified. Whether it's Bush, the Pope, Ted Turner, or anybody else like that, it just warns of the danger of that sort of behavior, treating a human being like a God." You red, white, and blue bleeding flag wavers can settle down, it's not specifically anti-Bush, anti-American, or anti-government. |

| Disturbed – Just Stop Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| The meaning of this song is well documented through interviews, message boards, etc. But the way I describe it to my friends who ask, and those who haven't heard the song, is: "It's a retort to those who like to bitch for the sake of bitching, just to try to keep you down". | |
| Disturbed – Bound Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Coinciding with the name of the album from which this song came: this song is all about believing in yourself, and not letting anyone change the essence of who you are. | |
| Disturbed – A Welcome Burden Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This song is similar to "Down With The Sickness", and from this song (A Welcome Burden), you can gain a better understanding of it (Down With The Sickness). They both reference the "mother culture", the key difference being that "A Welcomed Burden" references it directly, as opposed to the indirect reference of the often misunderstood meaning of DWTS. The meaning of this song is pretty straightforward, the band, Disturbed, welcomes the burden of trying to bring back the metal genre. As it had been considered to be a dead genre when this song was written (and still considered by some today). It's also about being comfortable with being different than the norm; bucking the trend (like DWTS is). |

| Disturbed – Avarice Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Believing this song is about politics is too specific, and thus innaccurate. The meaning of the song basically comes from the definition of the song's name itself, "avarice": "Greed is a desire to obtain more money or material possessions or bodily satisfaction than one is considered to need. A more religious term for greed is avarice, which is listed as one of the Catholic Seven Deadly Sins." It's about the evil that is greed, in the general sense, and the consequences that results from it. |

| Disturbed – Down with the Sickness Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I didn't bother to read all 8 pages of comments, but Rowen was right from the beginning. The reference to "mother" is an analogy, to the "mother culture" that indirectly, and at times, directly, influences people into thinking and acting in a certain way. It's akin to peer pressure, or "pop culture". "The sickness" is the act of rebellion against this "mother culture", its about being yourself and fighting back against those who try to outcast you for being different. It's ABSOLUTELY NOT about a violent upbringing, or literally referencing his Mother, during the famous tirade. It's basically a song of rebellion, against that which tries to keep you down for being different. |

| Disturbed – Remember Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Previous comments on the meaning of this song could all be considered valid (though uberpsycho's is a bit out there). However, instead of going through a lyric by lyric analysis, this song is basically about the personal changes that occurred to David, and all the members of the band, as they went from typical "9 to 5" jobs, to famous musicians. It's a story of living two vastly different lives, personal privacy vs. public celebrity. | |
