Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum (Why do I feel like this?)
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum (I'm going crazy now)
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum
No more gas, in the red
Can′t even get it started
Nothing heard, nothing said
All my life on my head
Don't want to think about it
Feels like I′m going insane, yeah
It′s a thief in the night to come and grab you (Aha)
It can creep up inside you and consume you (Aha)
A disease of the mind, it can control you (Aha)
It's too close for comfort, whoa
Put on your brake lights
We′re in the city of wonder
Ain't gon′ play nice
Watch out, you might just go under
Better think twice
Your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter, be wise
Your mind is in disturbia
It's like the darkness is the light
Disturbia
Am I scaring you tonight?
Disturbia
Ain′t used to what you like
Disturbia, disturbia
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum
Faded pictures on the wall
It's like they talkin' to me
Disconnection, your call
The phone don′t even ring
I gotta get out or figure this sh-- out
It′s too close for comfort, oh
It's a thief in the night to come and grab you (Aha)
It can creep up inside you and consume you (Aha)
A disease of the mind, it can control you (Aha)
I feel like a monster, oh
Put on your brake lights
We′re in the city of wonder (City lights)
Ain't gon′ play nice
Watch out, you might just go under
Better think twice (Think twice)
Your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter, be wise
Your mind is in disturbia
It's like the darkness is the light
Disturbia
Am I scaring you tonight?
Disturbia
Ain′t used to what you like
Disturbia, disturbia
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum (Disturbia)
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum (Oh-oh)
Release me from this curse I'm in
Trying to maintain, but I'm struggling
If you can′t go-o-o-o-o-o
I think I′m gonna ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Put on your brake lights
We're in the city of wonder
Ain′t gon' play nice
Watch out, you might just go under
Better think twice (Better think twice)
Your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter, be wise
Your mind is in disturbia
It′s like the darkness is the light
Disturbia

Disturbia, disturbia
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum

The lyrics to Cardio Experts' song "Disturbia" depict a mental state of confusion and distress. The lines "What's wrong with me?" and "Why do I feel like this?" suggest that the singer is struggling to understand their own emotions and experiences. The next lines, "I'm going crazy now" and "All my life on my head," emphasize the intensity and overwhelming nature of these feelings.
The chorus of the song describes the experience of being trapped by one's own thoughts, with the line "Your mind is in disturbia" serving as a kind of refrain. The image of "faded pictures on the wall" that "talk to me" suggests a sense of dislocation and disconnection from reality. The lines "It's too close for comfort" and "I feel like a monster" underscore the feeling that the singer is losing control.
The song also touches on the idea of outside forces, such as "a disease of the mind," that can take hold of a person and control them. The metaphor of a "thief in the night" is used to describe this phenomenon, which can "creep up inside you and consume you."
Overall, "Disturbia" presents a picture of a mind in turmoil, struggling to make sense of its own thoughts and feelings.
