Devour
Disturbed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Still enough
Although I know you're not begging
Still as the thoughts running through your mind
Still enough
Although I know you're not begging
Give me a reason to make you mine

I will devour you
Take all the pain away
I cannot stay my hand
From reaching out so that I can
Empower you
For all eternity
It seems to ease my mind
To know that you've brought
Meaning to my life

Had enough
Although I see you're not running
Still are the thoughts running through your mind
Dead to love
The path that you are now taking
Show me the reason to make you mine

I will devour you
Take all the pain away
I cannot stay my hand
From reaching out so that I can
Empower you
For all eternity
It seems to ease my mind
To know that you've brought
Meaning to my life




Run, to where the smallest ray of light will never find you
Run, to where you will not need to shield your eyes
Run, away from all the soulless, heartless fiends who hound you
Run, away and let your memories go blind, as I devour you

Take all the pain away
I cannot stay my hand
From reaching out so that I can
Empower you
For all eternity
It seems to ease my mind
To know that you've brought
Meaning to my life

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Disturbed's song "Devour" delve into the theme of obsession and the desire to possess someone. The first verse shows a person who is confident and not begging, but the singer still wants them to give him a reason to make them his own. Here, the singer uses the word "devour" in a suggestive way, indicating that he wants to consume the person and take away all their pain.


In the second verse, the person seems to have had enough, but their thoughts are still running through their mind. The singer then talks about how the person is taking the path of being dead to love, questioning their reason for choosing that path, and asks for a reason to make them his. The chorus repeats the same idea, with the singer wanting to devour the person, take away their pain, and empower them for eternity, which he finds comforting.


The bridge of the song is a little different and takes on a darker tone, with the singer asking the person to run away from soulless, heartless fiends who hound them and gives them permission to let their memories go blind as he devours them. The idea of devoured memories adds a deeper level of darkness and aggression to the theme of possession and consuming someone.
