Disturbed – Darkness Lyrics 17 years ago
to me this is a great song.

i think this is about a son's last moment with a dying father.

"Don't turn away
I pray you've heard
The words I've spoken
Dare to believe
For one last time
And then I'll let the
Darkness cover me"

The father tells the son to be strong and to listen to him for one last time.

"And then I'll let the
Darkness cover me"

He's telling his son that he is going to die soon and he'll be surrounded with nothing but darkness.

"Deny everything
Slowly walk away
To breathe again
On my own"

The father tells his son to live his life, to breathe in and out, on his own without his father.

"Carry me away
I need your strength
To get me through this
Dare to believe
For one last time"

This is at the day of the funeral where the son is watching his father's coffin getting carried to his grave. The father's "spirit" inside the son is telling him that without his strength, he won't be able to rest peacefully. To get him through the hard reality of death.

Overall, this song is great. David sounds very calm when he sings this song and the guitar sounds very sad.

Disturbed – Criminal Lyrics 17 years ago
to me this song can be easily interpreted.

"Malevolent criminal eye
Motivation paints my mind
Cross the invisible line
and you'll be paid in kind"

this part is more of an eye for an eye thing. he is motivated, he has a reason, and if he's pushed, you will get your just desserts.

"Criminal
This suffering
It makes me think like a
Criminal
The suffering
When we're alone"

when bad things happen to a person, they tend to do bad things.
and the "when we're alone" part, i think that's supposed to mean that when a person is alone for a long period of time they can act strangely or think differently.

"A hunger coming over me
As I learn to hide the agony
To make a final remedy
To close the door once and for all"

he wants to hide from the pain and forget about what's happened about him.

"In a world that I don’t want to know
With a message that I never want to send
To be free from all of this
I want you to quicken my end
Don't tell me I can not go
With the wound that refuses to mend
Deliver me from all of this
I want you to quicken my end"

he sees the world become a horrible place and he's not making it any better so before he can do more damage he wants someone to end his life.

"Now you want to know
You want a name
You want to call me a motherfucker?
Now you want to know
You want a name
You want to say it doesn't matter?"

this part is just letting them know that if he's insulted it won't bother him because he will get back at them.

"Now that you wanna know
Now you wanna name
Now you wanna place
Now you wanna time
Now you want it all"

he's challenging his enemies to a fight that will determine the way things end.

well in overall i think this is one of the better songs in the new album, great music, great lyrics, great vocals.
disturbed has done it again!
keep it up!
