The Night
Disturbed(디스터브드) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What has come over me
What madness taken hold of my heart
To run away, the only answer
Pulling me away
To run upon my sight
So now recovering
Sweet shadow taking hold of my mind
Another day has been devoured
Calling me away, bringing the question
Why

For saving me from all they've taken
Let my honor fall again
Giving me the strength to face them
Feeling it taking over now
I'm about to take it all away
There can be no better way of knowing

In a world beyond controlling
Are you going to deny the savior
In front of your eyes
Stare into the night
Power beyond containing
Are you going to remain a slave for
The rest of your life
Give into the night

This self discovery
Redemption taking hold of my mind
This serenade of haunting voices
Calling me away
To piece from the sight
So much felicity
Downgrade and taking hold of my head
Leading me away from hibernation
Strong and I'm unafraid
Never a question why

For saving me from all they've taken
Let my honor fall again
Giving me the strength to face them
Feeling it taking over now
I'm about to take it all away
There can be no better way of knowing

In a world beyond controlling
Are you going to deny the savior
In front of your eyes
Stare into the night
Power beyond containing
Are you going to remain a slave for
The rest of your life
Give into the night

Give in to the night

In a world beyond controlling
Are you going to deny the savior
In front of your eyes
Stare into the night
Power beyond containing
Are you going to remain a slave for
The rest of your life
Give into the night

Night, night, night
Give into the Night
Night, night, night
Give into the night

Night, night, night
Give into the Night




Night, night, night
Give into the night

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Disturbed's "The Night" are about self-discovery, redemption and breaking away from control. The opening lines "What has come over me, What madness taken hold of my heart, To run away, the only answer" suggest that the singer is experiencing something unexpected or out of their control that is leading them to leave their current situation. The line "Sweet shadow taking hold of my mind" is likely a metaphor for the freeing feeling that comes with facing one's fears and pursuing self-discovery. The chorus then asks the listener whether they will deny the savior ("this self-discovery") that is leading them towards freedom or remain a slave to their current circumstances.


The second verse continues the theme of redemption and strength in the face of adversity, with lines such as "Giving me the strength to face them, Feeling it taking over now, I'm about to take it all away". The repetition of the phrase "there can be no better way of knowing" suggests that the singer is convinced that they are making the right choice in pursuing their self-discovery.


Overall, The Night is a powerful anthem about taking control of one's life and pursuing self-discovery, even if it means breaking away from what is comfortable or expected. The haunting melody and intense vocals reinforce the message of strength and defiance.

Even if you ain't into metal, you can't deny those beautiful melodies and David's vocal abilities.

@DelusionalOni

Agreed.

@MarkoCoomo

You're either into metal or not heard the right metal yet.

@patrickdoran180

Or Dan's soloing 🤘

@seikoofu2595

Hard rock. But yes

@aarontestani

Facts! I’ve had people tell me to turn it off, but they keep their mouths shut once that final chorus comes around after the solo. He really hits those vocals on another level of dark beauty.

This is the last song my friend heard before she went to the operating room and saved the lives of several other people through organ donation. Jenn, you are a warrior and hero wherever your spirit lives now. Rule the Night as the Domina you are.

@mthw7046

@YzaekPark

Organ donation always get me in the feelings. 1 simple act and so much lives can be saved.
