Haunted
Disturbed(디스터브드) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're broken, so am I
I'm better off alone
No one to turn to and nothing to call my own
Outspoken, so am I
Explosive words that your world wouldn't understand
Turn away again

You're beaten, so am I
I've got a heart of stone
No medication can cure what has taken hold
You're hurting, so am I
When I awaken, remember why I've been running from your

World
Dishonored by your world
Your world
I'm haunted by your world

My blood is cold as ice
Or so I have been told
Show no emotion, and it can destroy your soul
Another sacrifice
To a tormentor your world wouldn't understand
Turn away again

You're angered, so am I
A thousand fires burn
A land of darkness from which I cannot return
You're aching, so am I
When I awaken, discover that I have been damaged by your

World
Dishonored by your world
Your world
I'm haunted by your world

You'll never be welcomed
Amongst the heartless monsters you surround yourself with
Feeding off the pain and misfortune of others
A maniacal breed of sub-human parasites
Thrown into a feeding frenzy at the smell of fresh blood
Open your eyes and see the creatures for what they are
A swirling mess of hatred and envy
Don't be naive enough to think you're unaffected
The conversion has already begun

You're frightened, so am I
A world of demons wait
Watching the movements and filling my heart with hate
You're burning, so am I
When I awaken, discover how I have been ravaged by your

World
Dishonored by your world




Your world
I'm haunted by your world

I had a very Disturbed childhood, and this band was the only outlet to provide that initial push to persevere through the unfathomable actions from my mother. I associate this song, in particular, to my biological mother who caused so much pain amongst 6+ siblings. Every time I was on the brink of despair I would listen to Indestructible or Haunted and remind myself that I too, was disturbed, and could be redeemed.

@munchmaquchi304

hope youre in a better place now, bud. we're all disturbed in a way. Keep it up, boss!!

@tattooofjake6422

that was very poetic,wp

@flamingsandshadow5811

Disturbed music is for disturbed people and it always has been. Also I hope you’re in a better place now!!

Coming from someone who grew up in a house with 11 other people and slept in a closet for the majority of my childhood, I fucking feel you with all my heart brother. Things get better with time, and with self-love. It took me a long time but now I’m a 4.0 student in college and I’m gonna be a psych major to help other people who feel the same way we do

I believe in you man, you’re the master of your own destiny, you got this
