Stricken Lyrics

You walk on like a woman in suffering
Won't even bother now, to tell me why
You come alone, letting all of us savor the moment
Leaving me broken, another time
You come on like a blood stained hurricane
Leave me alone, let me be this time
You carry on like a holy man pushing redemption
I don't want to mention, the reason I know

That I am stricken and can't let you go
When the heart is cold, there's no hope, and we know
That I am crippled by all that you've done
Into the abyss, will I run

You don't know what your power has done to me
I want to know if I'll heal inside
I can't go on, with a holocaust about to happen
Seeing you laughing, another time
You'll never know how your face has haunted me
My very soul has to bleed this time
Another hole in the wall of my inner defenses
Leaving me breathless, the reason I know

Into the abyss will I run

I can't let you go
Yes I am stricken and can't let you go

According to David:

"A hard-rocking song that explores the themes of being away from loved ones"

For me, though, this song is about someone that has hurt you and left you, yet you cannot seem to let the feelings go, you are thrown into a dark place and you want to just move on. This is how I feel right now about my ex, so maybe it's just timing, but that's what I feel about this song. What About You?

What I see is the emotional cost of a relationship gone bad and seeing that person moving on when you're stuck in the emotional aftermath of Love !

I agree with you. I feel the same. They hit it right on the head

@TheCzar I feel this way about a freindship not love but it hits just as hard. It makes me feel weak because he is better off without me and I was left all alone and feeling like crap. Anyway awseome song! Disturbed rulz!

A David Draiman quote: "About those moments when someone comes into your life and it's almost as if you've been afflicted with a disease you can't get rid of; devastating and debilitating."

from what ive heard around, its about a past relationship.

However i read on wikipedia that David Draiman said its about "those moments when someone comes into your life and it's almost as if you've been afflicted with a disease you can't get rid of, that's devastating and debilitating."

I got a girl, and i like her a lot, but i know i shouldnt cuz i can tell shes just gonna drag me down. Feels kinda like a disease, i dont wanna like her, but what the hell can i do? I guess ill have to run to some abyss.

This song is amazing! I can't wait for the new album. I aspecialy like "Into the abyss will I run". The newest songs seem to really prove Dave Draiman's vocal abilities.

As for the meaning. I'll go with what TheCzar said.

Heard this on the radio, it was amazing.

I see something other than David though. What I make of it, is you were in a close relationship, and the other person left you for someone else. Hence, being 'stricken and can't let you go'

'Seeing you laughing, another time' Seeing them laughing, having a good time with another.

'You don't know what your power has done to me' The person in the said song, not taking this so well.

That's just what I see...
