"Indestructible" is "an anthem for soldiers", vocalist David Draiman comments. "It's meant to be something that would make them feel invincible, take away their fear, make them strong." According to Draiman, the song also signifies Disturbed's lingering presence and success in the music industry. Draiman comments that the song "kind of symbolizes the fact that we're still f***** here, because that we haven't been destroyed, that we withstood the test of time."Guitarist Dan Donegan furthers this point, stating "We feel that we've become indestructible to be able to survive this long in the business, and continuing a success with it." Draiman concludes, "We have been through a lot. No matter what gets thrown at us, as a band, no matter what happens in the musical environment, we're still here, we're still viable, and still standing."
A music video went into production in June 2008 with Noble Jones as the director. and was unveiled on August 20, 2008. It features high-concept battle scenes, reminiscent of the film 300, intercut with footage of the band performing the song. The video shows the progression of war throughout history; from basic fighting with spears, and arrows, to using modern machinery such as guns.

Disturbed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The powers have called me away
Another time
To carry the colors again
My motivation
An oath I've sworn to defend
To win the honor
Of coming back home again
Will matter after we begin
Unlock the dark destroyer that's buried in me
My true vocation
And now my unfortunate friend
You will discover
A war you're unable to win
I'll have you know
That I've become
Indestructible
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side
A terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable
Every broken enemy will know
That their opponent had to be invincible
Take a last look around while you're alive
I'm an indestructible master of war
Another reason
Another cause for me to fight
Another fuse uncovered
Now, for me to light
My dedication
To all that I've sworn to protect
I carry out my orders
With not a regret
A declaration
Embedded deep under my skin
A permanent reminder
Of how we began
No hesitation
When I am commanding the strike
You need to know
That you're in for the fight of your life
You will be shown
How I've become
Indestructible
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side
A terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable
Every broken enemy will know
That their opponent had to be invincible
Take a last look around while you're alive
I'm an indestructible master of war
I'm
Indestructible
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side
A terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable
Every broken enemy will know
That their opponent had to be invincible
Take a last look around while you're alive
I'm an indestructible master of war
Indestructible
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side
A terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable
Every broken enemy will know
That their opponent had to be invincible
Take a last look around while you're alive
I'm an indestructible master of war
The lyrics to Disturbed's song Indestructible are about a soldier who is called away for another mission to fight for a cause he believes in. He sees himself as a master of war who is indestructible and determined to win every battle. He has a sense of duty and an oath that he has sworn to defend, and he carries out his orders with no regrets. He considers himself a true warrior who has unlocked the dark destroyer that's buried in him. He is fearless and willing to take on any enemy, no matter how big or small. But he also acknowledges that his opponent had to be invincible, which means that he sees himself as invincible as well.

To carry the colors again
To represent my country with pride and honor

To earn respect and recognition
Of coming back home again
To return safely to my loved ones

Will matter after we begin
Once we commence, actions speak louder than words
Unlock the dark destroyer that's buried in me
Release the inner warrior that lies within me

Of how we began
Of what led to the current situation
No hesitation
No delay or uncertainty
When I am commanding the strike
When I issue the command to attack

That you're in for the fight of your life
You will face me, your toughest opponent ever
You will be shown
I will demonstrate to you
How I've become Indestructible
How I have transformed into an unstoppable force
I'm an indestructible master of war
I have perfected the art of combat

Disturbed got me through my highschool career. I lost my grandparents a few months before my sophomore year. They were my lifeline. When I attempted, no one noticed. My friends didn't know how to deal with my depression and avoided me. I isolated myself and lost myself in music. This music helped me find the strength to keep going.
I'm glad I did.

It helps me to, stay strong 💪🏻🙏🏻🤘🤘🤘
