Take me away
Yeah
That's enough of all your taunting
Seems I can't remove you from my mind
Don't you know sometimes I wish
They'd kill me for wanting you
I will sit alone in silence
Gather around the meaning I can't find
Will you be defeated when
They kill me for wanting you
(Pre Chorus)
I can't believe in my settling lies
And abandoning you
I can't recall a more helpless time
Perpetrated by you
Chorus:
Sickened
From wanting you
Frightened of finding the truth
Don't say anymore
Now my mind isn't changing
This reckoning's long overdue
And the vast walls
Surround me
In the prison
Of my own design
Will I win my freedom
If they kill me
For wanting you
And the arms of hell
Will hound me
Just as long as
I remain confined
I will be completed
When they kill me
For wanting you
I can't believe
In my settling lies
And abandoning you
I can't recall
A More helpless time
Perpetrated by you
Sickened
From wanting you
Frightened of finding the truth
Don't say anymore
Now my mind isn't changing
This reckoning's long overdue
So I am determined
That I am long done
When I bury another problem
In the graveyard you allowed me to find
So I am determined and
I am no one
Will I finally cling to something
That has never been tied to any single memory of you
Sickened
From wanting you
Frightened of finding the truth
Don't say anymore
Now my mind isn't changing
This reckoning's long overdue
So I am determined
That I am undone.
Will I bury another problem
In the graveyard you allow me to find
Yeah
That's enough of all your taunting
Seems I can't remove you from my mind
Don't you know sometimes I wish
They'd kill me for wanting you
I will sit alone in silence
Gather around the meaning I can't find
Will you be defeated when
They kill me for wanting you
I can't believe in my settling lies
And abandoning you
I can't recall a more helpless time
Perpetrated by you
Sickened
From wanting you
Frightened of finding the truth
Don't say anymore
Now my mind isn't changing
This reckoning's long overdue
Surround me
In the prison
Of my own design
Will I win my freedom
If they kill me
For wanting you
And the arms of hell
Will hound me
Just as long as
I remain confined
I will be completed
When they kill me
For wanting you
In my settling lies
And abandoning you
I can't recall
A More helpless time
Perpetrated by you
From wanting you
Frightened of finding the truth
Don't say anymore
Now my mind isn't changing
This reckoning's long overdue
That I am long done
When I bury another problem
In the graveyard you allowed me to find
So I am determined and
I am no one
Will I finally cling to something
That has never been tied to any single memory of you
From wanting you
Frightened of finding the truth
Don't say anymore
Now my mind isn't changing
This reckoning's long overdue
That I am undone.
Will I bury another problem
In the graveyard you allow me to find

All-time favorite Disturbed song, it's similar to others written by Draiman, especially Stricken (they're from the same album anyway) I've always loved the lyrics, to me personally it feels like he is in an abusive relationship where the other person is always hurting him and leaving him then coming back, yet he is keen on being with them and loves them sincerely, albeit in a 'sick' twisted way. He also feels as though he is being persecuted by those around him because they don't approve of his form of love. He thinks overcoming obstacles or even dying for his lover would be a beautiful form of affection, but they were never sincere about him and don't really care about that stuff. Everything I just said was probably way off the mark but I think the lyrics are really beautiful and romantic when I think of it that way. The idea of denying the truth and deluding yourself with thoughts of true love when you're actually in an abusive relationship and you're all alone --- that's really deep.
he says "I cant believe my sanity lies in abandoning you" I think its about him liking someone but knowing it just wont work out cuz hes in a band..kinda like guarded, stricken, and mistress
I think it's about wanting someone you hate, and it sickenes you.
I've listened to this song on repeat for the last 24 hours.
I don't think it's a woman he's talking about. I think he's talking about an addiction. It sounds like whomever has tried to get help and yet...can't shake the need for whatever this addiction.
"I can't believe my sanity lies in abandoning you" how many addicts swear they aren't addicts because they still have it "together" or it hasn't affected them the way it has other people but the fact it is, it's still affecting him and he has to make a decision.
Most people turn to an addiction to bury problems...the graveyard? buried problems? And believe it or not, most addicts find no pleasure in their addiction...they find relief....and they cling to that....when he asks will he be able to cling to something else other than this addiction? And most addicts are sickened by their addiction, disgusted something has that kind of grip.
It's a hell of a song.
you can listen to this song in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5lrlRr1Ck0
this song is awesome, but does anyone know where you can find it? it's one of the B-sides off of "Ten Thousand Fists".
i don't have the actual lyrics or anything but it sounds a lot more like they r saying i cant believe that my sanity lies in abandoning you not I can't believe in my settling lies and abandoning you
The song seems to be explaining the effects of having your sanity tested by betrayal.
I think the song is about loving someone but hating the things they do and in a way feeling repulsed by them and yourself for your feelings. Also that repulsion paired with a conflicting emotion is madening and the only way to save yourself is to leave them behind and find something untainted by their memory.
i think the song means that a you cant get someone off your mind, and you're sick of that person.
