Disturbed – Save Our Last Goodbye Lyrics

8 years ago

There was a friend in school. At first I misunderstood what this friend was trying to say to me we were the opposite sex and I told him I was married. This friend continued to talk to me to try to make me understand that because of a mistake they were dying. They had a professor to help them explain they were dying. and that I needed to leave my spouse because they could make a mistake. They told me that my spouse was seeing others unsafely. It took a long time for me to understand to believe. They wanted their death to mean something to save someone before they were gone. They got to hear that I was getting a divorce and I got to say goodbye. They wouldn't see me after the told me. One day I saw them on the street with a friend helping them I they saw me - they new i was saying goodbye. Couple weeks later we got an email from school that someone had past in the dorm and it was natural causes. I knew it was my friend and now I knew why I saw them that day - they wanted to say goodbye. I think of them when I hear this song. I will never forget their smile and what a kind, sweet person they were.

@[symantha76:20594] sokorny, i don't mean to be korny LOL, but i didn't mean to mislead you I am 51 years old. It's difficult to explain. I have had therapy. My therapist told me once that patients like me do one of two things they repeat the pattern or they break the pattern. Well i would never repeat the pattern, but break the pattern i did. When you speak out about someone who wronged you, this person gets angry, their friends get angry, the call you a liar. And excuse me but who would lie about abuse. Its humiliating. They twist every mistake you ever made into a huge fabrication of drama to try to discredit you. So, you become alienated because your the nut in therapy not them. It is so twisted. So, I told my therapist no wonder people live in abuse because once they speak out then they become an object of ridicule (lol i can't spell) and the abuse continues on a bigger scale with help from the masses. It grows into a little army against one little nobody. My therapist also told me well you have to take responsibility for your actions. I said really, when do the abusers have to take responsibility for their actions? He didn't say much to that. The answer is they don't. They are emotionless monsters that have no conscience. I just couldn't hurt someone like that - it's wrong. Long story short - it's cool I am fine. Indestructible - not really but i am much stronger than i used to be. Thanks for caring enough to send a reply.

The Sickness CD is my favorite so far. Just been listening to Disturbed for a few months and I keep going back to The Sickness. What does that say about me? I guess I have some anger. Just used to not speaking up, just letting it go mostly because you just don't have the time, or the energy anymore. Maybe that's why people mired down in daily strife, so we don't have time to realize what is going on. I feel a release when I listen to these songs. I have been told to shut up more times than I care to remember. When people keep telling you to keep your mouth shut, what does that mean? What are they afraid of I am powerless to change anything . . . ? Why are they afraid of my mouth? I am a nobody. They are somebody. Is it the truth they are afraid of? I mean one person can't make a damn difference. Why even care?

Disturbed – Stupify Lyrics

8 years ago

I read it was about racism. His girl friend broke up with him because he was Jewish and her family didn't approve because they were Spanish. I have always maintained that prejudice cannot be abolished. I mean you are talking about a Utopia it doesn't exist. Our goal should be to minimize prejudice, but be realistic because prejudice cannot be eliminated. The song to me is so much more though. How could you not care that people are being wronged. Someone needs to care. No one cares about prejudice. It's abuse. It can drive you crazy being abused. Telling you one thing and doing another. The only way you know you are alive is if you are being abused. The pain is all you feel anymore after a certain amount of it - you feel nothing, until it hurts. In the video I think the fish bowl is a metaphor for faith and art. We would go crazy if we didn't have our faith to fall back on, our art to fall back on. There are so many other types of prejudice. I see prejudice in people daily men against women, women against women. I see it in myself sometimes. We have to recognize it it can take control, but not if we don't let it. We have to learn to recognize the prejudice in not only in others, but in ourselves and care enough to try to make it better. But it will never go away because most people never get to the point where they can recognize it in themselves. And some types of prejudice are so tolerated. I mean sometime I feel like if I would go along with the masses I would have it easier, but I refuse to give in just to be accepted. Don't try to make me something else. What am I supposed to be a good girl, they like me, but then that group doesn't like me. Be a bad girl they like me, but that group doesn't like me. A smart girl and a good girl they like me, but they don't, a smart girl and a bad girl, they like me but then that other bunch don't. If you don't choose a side then no one likes you because you can't be what someone wants you to be. So, you get STUPIFIED at how ridiculous it is. I had a dream once. I was trying to leave my husband and i got away, but I forgot to take my son. And I found myself in a building and I couldn't go back and I couldn't go forward without my son. So, I was just stuck, I couldn't go back and I couldn't go forward, that's how you feel if you don't choose a SIDE you can't go forward and you can't go back, you just get stupified . . .
