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.
