Deceiver
Disturbed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've been caught in a lie!!
You can't deny it!

So let the war begin
You're far from innocent
Hell I just don't know where it will end
You are the one to blame
You made a habit of
Fucking up my life (ow!)

Another fallacy
Is laid in front of me
Now I just don't know
What to believe
Another animal
Sent to devour what-
Ever's left inside

[Chorus]
I know now!
It's all been a lie
And I'll never come to know why
Awoke to discover
You leaving me now
It's all been a lie
I don't ever want to know why
You've mastered the art of
Deceiving me now.

A mortal enemy
Has been revealed in me
How come I wasn't able to see
Another vampire
Getting their fix from




Sucking up my life (OW!)
An evil entity
Had taken hold of me
Ripped out my heart and started to feed
I still remember when
I thought that all you were
Eating was my pride

[Chorus]

This idiot won't let me go
Slowly penetrating the mind
I tell you now, my little puppet
You'll suffer me
You don't want to let me go
Till I've taken over your life
I'll ensure you survive
Little puppet don't die
Let me, let me die
Little puppet don't die
Let me, let me die
Little toy don't die

[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

Disturbed's song Deceiver is a hard-hitting and emotional piece that is about a person dealing with the aftermath of discovering that someone close to them has been lying to them. The lyrics convey a sense of betrayal and confusion as the person comes to terms with the realization that they've been deceived. The opening lines "You've been caught in a lie! You can't deny it!" make it clear that this revelation has shaken the person to their core.


The following lines "So let the war begin You're far from innocent Hell I just don't know where it will end" show that the person is ready to confront the liar, and the situation has now become a battle. The lyrics "Another fallacy Is laid in front of me Now I just don't know What to believe" suggest that the person has been lied to multiple times and is now unsure of what to trust. The lyrics that follow describe the liar as an animal that is devouring what is left inside the person. The lyrics also describe the liar as a vampire or an evil entity that has taken hold of them and is feeding off them.


The chorus, "I know now! It's all been a lie And I'll never come to know why I learn to discover You're leaving me now It's all been a lie I don't ever want to know why You've mastered the art of Deceiving me now," conveys a sense of resignation and acceptance. The person has come to terms with the fact that the relationship was built on lies, and they don't want to know why the other person did it. The lyrics "Little puppet don't die Little puppet you're suffering Don't let me die Little toy don't die" suggest that the person feels like they are being controlled and manipulated by the liar.

@aguythatthinks7931

I love seeing these communities of people that have had their lives imprinted by disturbed and especially this album too.

@johndickens7071

This is Not the only album that got people inspired or interested
It was their first album that blew all away

@WFly101

​@@johndickens7071Funny I hated (okay maybe an exaggeration) their first album and absolutely adored the 3 after it.

@RudeReaper

Disturbed is always there to slap me out of depression.

@warg3397

Same here

@MiguelMedV

"Slap me out of my depression", that's actually a great way to describe it now that I think about it, well said 👌🏼...

@DylanIhtiyar
