The lyrics to Disbelief's song "Infected" are intense and dark, expressing the desperation of a psychotic monster who is addicted to love and willing to kill and rape to achieve it. The first stanza shows a struggle with leaving and tears, but then the feelings turn around and it becomes unclear whose life is being checked. The chorus repeats the plea for a chance at a new life, but the singer admits they will be blind.
The second stanza claims the singer is waiting for someone to follow them, but there is always extreme pain and danger in their life. The chorus repeats with the killing and raping, but this time the singer is trying to become addicted to love. The final stanza seems to yearn for life to not wake them up and to not be killed, even though they are infected.
The theme of addiction and extreme behaviors is prevalent throughout the lyrics. The singer is clearly struggling with both leaving and following as well as being addicted to love and being a psychotic monster. The lyrics are also heavily reliant on the repetition of certain phrases and ideas, creating a sense of obsession and mania.
