Devour Lyrics

Cover art for Devour lyrics by Disturbed

I think mjdny has a point. There are lots of "possibly satanic" meanings in the lyrics of this song. Just think about it:

"Give me a reason to make you mine" If you want to sell your soul, you have to want to do it first, right?

"I will devour you" "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to DEVOUR." 1 Peter 5:8

"Take all the pain away" and "Run away and let your memories go blind when I Devour you" When do all this happen? In death. But the devil wouldn't put it like "I'm going to kill you", he tries to put it in a nice, poetic way.

"...so that I can Empower you For all eternity" Who is the only one that can do such a powerful thing? Only God. But we all know the Devil is the king of lies, so he only wants to trick and fool you, telling lies like this one and the one he told Eve.

"The path that you are now taking Show me the reason to make you mine" The Devil wants the more people he can have following him before he is destroyed for all eternity.

And don't fool yourself, I really like the melody of this song, but as soon as I analyzed the lyric I stopped listened to it. Because it was surely satanic? No, but because it is probably satanic.

My Interpretation

Though Disturbed is pretty.....unchristian (lol) I don't think they'd make such an evil song lol or at least mean to. I think the song has a more vampiric meaning :D

For one Disturbed is not satanic so you know. Serously dude Draiman and all the other guys aren't satanic. l know for a fact thaT Draiman is Jewish. I myself am christian but if you don't know draiman you wont understand their music and remember most of their songs are about how screwed up the world is and how stupid people can be in life and stguff like that.

OMW! people that think all metal is satanic are idioits. LIKE everything in the Bible is metaphorical so are all Disturbeds Lyrics
