Monster

I think he is talking to himself and accusing himself for a certain life-style and for certain ideals and actions he accomplished, obsessions and addictions who made him a monster. He’s turning his back at his old self “Erasing now” and looking forward to a new existence "End this suffering". ( sure, all the other interpretations are also very good :) )

do you not believe that jews pray as well? He was raised as an orthadox jew and fluentlly speaks hebrew. his grand parents were holoucast suvivors. If you dont believe it just look it up online read just one of many articles or look it up online. its on wikipedia as well.

I personally believe that the song is talking about when a very close friend, or even a lover that you trusted so much betrays you. "You made a monster of me Through all your wicked lies Forever tortured by you" That means that you trusted them and that you believed everything they told you, and then they betrayed your trust, and contradicted their words with their actions, and how that caused you to give into your hatred, and anger toward them, becoming consumed by it and ultimately it begins to control you. "Don't look away You're just a former regret of mine" That means that you are demanding that they look at what they have done to you, and what you have become. "And when you want, just look away" This is talking about how what they have done to you is so horrifying that it is unbearable to look at/watch. That is my belief on the meaning behind the song. I believe this is by far one of the best Disturbed songs thus far. Then again, I have yet to come across a Disturbed song that I don't like.

FYI David Draiman is Jewish.

Wikipedia is correct and gives all the info about David. Including the fact he is Jewish. Also there are several songs with hebrew words and in Pain Redefined he says "I'll stand and fight, I'm not afraid to die Elochai will bury me tonight" which is one of the Hebrew names for god. Plus he wrote the song "Never Again" which pertains to the Holocaust. Plushttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Draiman#cite_note-ID144985-5

yes, as the other people have stated David Draiman is Jewish. He has a younger brother that lives in Jerusalem and is in a band. It isnt hard rock/metal however it is pretty good.

I think this song explores frontmant David Draiman views on how the media can perceive you sometimes or how they can force others to perceive you. You get tired of the lies, & misinformation being force fed about you.

link to the song if no one has heard of it, i just found it myself

The song speaks to "God", the one who gave him life, torment, wealth. "You made a monster of me Through all your wicked lies Forever tortured by you Abandoned at death's door Until I said no more".

kind of sounds like this song is about how it feels to be taken to the top, promised everything, and pushed over the side.
