[2] In the mid-nineties, four blokes decided to form a band under the smog veil of Rotterdam, Punk capital of Holland. They played their Punk the old fashioned way, with a lot of spitting and cursing at anything that society thinks of as alright, which is not. They done a lot of gigs in the Rotterdam area and expanded their territory throughout the Netherlands. Somewhere back in 98, the unfortunate (and probably rainy) day came the drummer left the band. Disturbance wasnt planning to give up, and sought out a new drummer. The drummer they found originated, as up to this day, from the Cenobites, a psychobilly band from the Dutch underground scene.
Now Disturbance is a four-man formation consisting out of Rob (vocals) Dim (guitar) Joz (bass) and Kiel (drums), who still believe in the traditional values of punk, in a similar way the punks did at the end of the 70s in England. In 2001 Disturbance brought out their first EP live on to decline on Tocado records (www.tocado.com) that had air play on the Belgian radio Donna and the also Belgian Studio Brussel. The first press (Dutch market only / white vinyl) is sold out by now, as well is the second press (worldwide / brown vinyl).
In the not so distant future there will be a Disturbance live tape brought out , from the first 5 years of the Disturbance-existence. Locations played are very different, from Nighttown to the Stubnitz freight ship. In nightown Disturbance played a fair amount of the Heel erg punk festivals, which brought out 2 live cds with among others Disturbance. Since may 2003 the debut album Malice in Slumberland is out on Streetmusic Berlin
Sons of War
Disturbance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Moving 'cross the borders, begging to be shot
Will they make it trough the night or will they die today
Will they survive or die without anything to say
Protecting our economy and dying for our family
And fighting a nameless foreign force
Protecting our economy and dying for our family
Here are the sons of war, here are the sons of war,
Here are the sons of war, government's watchdogs,
Crawling on all fours
The lyrics to "Sons of War" by Disturbance describes the reality of war and the effects it has on those who have to fight it. The opening line, "Are they worth anything and do they mean a lot," questions the value of human life in a war situation. It speaks to the idea that soldiers are often pawns in a greater political scheme and are sacrificed for a cause that may not be worth the cost. The next line, "Moving 'cross the borders, begging to be shot," reflects the danger and fear that soldiers face in combat, as they are exposed to physical harm and death.
The second verse goes on to highlight the conflict between personal and national interests. The lyrics speak of soldiers protecting the economy and dying for their families, but also fighting a "nameless foreign force" and setting fire to a desert "without cause." This contradiction illustrates the complex nature of war, where the actions taken by soldiers can be both noble and unjustifiable at the same time.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Here are the sons of war," emphasizing the dehumanization and objectification of soldiers as government "watchdogs" who are subservient and obedient to authority. The use of the metaphor "crawling on all fours" reveals the painful reality of war, where soldiers are reduced to their most vulnerable state and forced to do whatever it takes to survive.
Overall, the lyrics of "Sons of War" shed light on the harsh and cruel reality of war and the toll it takes on those who fight it.
