Down with the Sickness Lyrics
(Do you feel that?)
(Oh shit)
Ooh ah ah ah ah!
Ooh ah ah ah ah!
Drowning deep in my sea of loathing
Broken your servant I kneel
(Will you give it to me?)
It seems what's left of my human side
Is slowly changing ... in me
(Will you give it to me?)
Looking at my own reflection
When suddenly it changes
Violently it changes
Oh no, There is no turning back now
You've woken up the demon ... in me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up
Come on get down with the sickness
You fucker get up
Come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift, that has been given to me
I can see inside you, the sickness is rising
Don't try to deny what you feel
(Will you give it to me?)
It seems that all that was good has died
And is decaying in me
(Will you give it to me?)
It seems you're having some trouble
In dealing with these changes
Living with these changes
Oh no, the world is a scary place
Now that you've woken up the demon ... in me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up
Come on get down with the sickness
You fucker get up
Come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift, that has been given to me
And when I dream
And when I dream
And when I dream
And when I dream!!!!
No mommy, don't do it again
Don't do it again
I'll be a good boy
I'll be a good boy, I promise
No mommy don't hit me Oh-oohh
Why did you have to hit me like that mommy?
Don't do it! You're hurting me Oh-oohh!
Why did you have to be such a bitch?
Why don't you,
Why don't you fuck off and die?
Why can't you just fuck off and die?
Why can't you just leave here and die?
Never stick your hand in my face again bitch
FUCK YOU!!!
I don't need this shit
You stupid sadistic abusive fucking whore
Would you like to see how it feels mommy?
Here it comes, get ready to die!
Ooh ah ah ah ah!
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up
Come on get down with the sickness
You fucker get up
Come on get down with the sickness
Mad-ness has now come over me!
Ummmmm....... just so you guys know... he is not talking about his actual mother... he is refering to the 'mother society' or the main stream culture of today which is disgusting and looks down upon anything that is different. He saying that the people who are different are the ones that society today views as being sick. Thus the... 'get up get down with the SICKNESS'... thus(2) the name of the album is 'The Sickness'.
I disagree...I think he's talking about his own mother, because of the part where he starts screaming and begging her to stop hurting him. "And when I dream..." it's like a memory that he relives. That's a bit too personal to have such a broad meaning.

would mother beating him be the repression of the different and the "normals" staying on top?

For me the part means sth. really different. I think he just means motherfucker, because first he say ´you mother get up´ and then ´you fucker get up´. I liked all your interpretations but for me he´s just insulting the person he´s talking to.

No aitazaz117, inside the fire is about the devil speaking to him about his girlfriend that died, telling him to commit suicide to join her. It's what the devil is telling him. And it's quite obvious.

@Rowen "in an insane society it is often the sane that appear insane". I am so glad i read this. I didn't get it. mother society now i think i understand it a little better. i like the sickness it's my favorite so far. I have just started listening to disturbed a few months back. Thanks.

I think what rowen said is true.. It's society that is sick and we have to get down with the sickness.. Voilence and Hate is everywere you look...it may haunt you for life
I believe the song is about the possible consequences of any kind of child abuse...sexual; physical; emotional; etc. Child abuse changes people and not all can rise about its effects. It took me YEARS to battle the scars left by my father's emotional abuse. Thankfully, now that I am free of the negative effects I believe I am a much stronger person. For some, good can come from bad...it just takes time.
I'm glad that experience made you a stronger person, homie, but i'm sorry you had to go through it.

I am so sick of daddy's behavior why can't he just stay sober how long until i finally end it I could but then i would get hit
Daddy's not all right Daddy's feeling agresive l
Let me teach you a lesson Don't touch me the way you do Don't touch me this will be the last Time your next to!me
I think that Rowen is right because i have listened to A LOT of disturbed songs and i know that David Drainman wouldnt say stuff like that. And just for the record Sierp you suck with a capital SUCK
Wow, what can one say? this reads like Korn's song Daddy. An chronicle of abuse that has twisted a soul so badly that all it can know is violence.
its not deep in any way at all. its in dawn of the dead like zombies u know

OMG PEOPLE............ HE'S BEEN QUOTED IN MANY MANY MAGAZINES ABOUT WHAT THE ACTUAL MEANING BEHIND IT IS........ IT'S WHAT I SAID EARLIER....... Quit reading so much into it! It has NOTHING to do with his actual mother! GEEEEEEEEZ!
I, on the other hand, love my mother. This song's meaning isn't so deep, it's completely blatant, but exactly how deep is anger is and how he communicates it is utterly amazing. Much like "the game," what really catches you is the emotion is singing.
PS: And yes..... I am enough of a Disturbed fanatic to know this! The artical is in the issue of Metal Edge with the entire band on the cover if you don't believe me!
sierp, i've listened to at the drive in.. there's nothing special about them.. i don't see how the stuff you listen to is any better than what we listen to.. it's all about taste.. some people don't like the shitty garage sound/whiney bitch voices.. ahem..
