Asylum Lyrics

Cover art for Asylum lyrics by Disturbed

This song is in relation to "Inside the fire" from the last album. He is following up on how he is dealing with the loss of his Ex from his teenage years. She committed suicide and inside the fire was his Catharsis and I guess this is his follow up to how he is doing mentally. David has been going through a lot mentally with that traumatic experience. in fact he said that before or during the last album he started having those nightmares again about witnessing what had happened. So the song inside the fire was from Satan's point of view trying to get him to reunite in hell with his ex. This song is a direct follow up of him still trying to finally bury those memories and find peace with what has happened.

Song writers/musicians use songs to come to terms with traumatic experiences all the time. This is David's way of trying to come to peace with what happened. I do hope these 2 songs help him through it. He has explained in interviews in great detail what happened and how he is coping with it.

Song Meaning

I forgot to add, the imagery david discussed in inside the fire was satan saying that he can reunite with his loved one by taking the plunge into the fire.(Meaning hell.)
