| Pink Floyd – Any Colour You Like Lyrics
| 7 years ago
|
This instrumental tells of one person, a single beam of white light, being presented with a great prism of life and choices. each path had a set destination, but stepping through the prism, which is shown by the guitar strumming, shows the beam of light has made A CHOICE. Whatever choice that was doesn't matter, but it split to a direction, and that's the point. We can choice where to go, but we must choose.
This song is likely why the album art is the famous prism, and is the perfect theme whenever discussing that art. |

| Pink Floyd – Speak to Me/Breathe Lyrics
| 7 years ago
|
A moral tale of how one must keep moving and working to survive. But working too hard to get to the top rushes you to an early grave, so you must always remember to ride with the tide not on it.
Similar themes are shown throughout the album, including in Time and Money in particular. A warning to balance work and life or risk losing both. |

| Disturbed – The Best Ones Lie Lyrics
| 7 years ago
|
|
Tells of how a man knows politicians always lie (at least the good ones do) and he doesn't trust anything they say so they should stop trying. "I really don't know what to believe", but these guys definately shouldn't be. |

| Disturbed – Watch You Burn Lyrics
| 7 years ago
|
|
A strong warning of how it may seem like fitting in a group is right, and how they can seem to support you, but in truth they care less about who you are and more if you fit their ideals. And if you don't, they light the spark and watch you burn without hesitation. |

| Disturbed – Savior of Nothing Lyrics
| 7 years ago
|
A wake up call to someone who has gone so far to prove their point or claim they are right that they've become what they were trying to fight against.
The mentions of "Turn into a warrior to protect what you believe" and "But you think their beliefs | Make them less than you" suggests it may be referring to social justice warriors championing against the things they obviously do themselves, but it could be broadened to include any extreme groups that go too far. |

| Disturbed – Hold On to Memories Lyrics

|
A straightforward call to action to live your own life and leave behind something to remember. For all those memories are how we live on, and being forgotten is akin to a second death. |

| Disturbed – Stronger on Your Own Lyrics
| 7 years ago
|
A confession about how a person who loved something self destructive (in this case, getting their heart broken) was forced to break the addiction on their own, and found that in doing so became significantly stronger for it. Now he encourages everyone else to break free on their own, and find that hidden strength they always had.
Another interpretation is that even if it seems like you have no one on your side, or just no one to turn to, yet you are continuing to survive, you're proving to yourself that you do have the strength to make it on your own! |

A wish to return back to times before internet culture consumed our very lives, when people were focused on what was going on in front of them rather than what happened on Twitter. |

| Disturbed – No More Lyrics
| 7 years ago
|
|
Pretty Straight forward. It's about how a taxpayer, likely of the US, is tired of how politicians call for war somewhere far away as a way to raise taxes not for defense but to line their pockets, and calls to action saying no more! No more wars, no more free money, and no more needless propaganda leading to soldier deaths over seas. |

| Disturbed – This Venom Lyrics
| 7 years ago
|
The best way to explain this is simply to the "Venom" something external. Propaganda, politics, stories, rescism, sexism, just something that warps the perception of another group.
So the subject of the song is a soldier, or someone called in to fight, because of the venom's influence. They fight other soldiers fed their own lies, and are told to hate the enemy because x, y, and z. He voices how the venom has warped them to war over and over, unable to peacefully survive so long as both sides feed into it and fight their endless repeating wars with no compromise. And eventually the venom takes all the soldiers' lives and they are destined to die for the venom. |
