Intoxication
Disturbed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now you tell me you like it
You tell me you want it
You're mine
And you don't need another one
Come on and tell me you like it
Tell me you want it
You're mine
And another one to me

What can you take from me
That which you cannot buy
Exhilaration
Laughing and turning away
What will you take from me
Now that you are inside
Intoxication
Now are you feeling

Enough, to vilify what I love
To sanctify all I hate
Endowed with the need





To carry over the life I lead
Intoxicating

Overall Meaning

The song "Intoxication" by Disturbed is an intense and powerful song that seems to explore themes of seduction, control, and addiction. The lyrics are spoken from the point of view of the seducer, who is urging their target to give into their desires and become "intoxicated" with them. The repeated phrase "Tell me you like it" implies a certain level of manipulation and control, with the seducer demanding that their target submit to their will. The mention of "enough, to vilify what I love / to sanctify all I hate" suggests a level of obsession and possibly even violence on the part of the seducer, who is willing to do whatever it takes to keep their target under their control.


The use of the word "intoxication" throughout the song is particularly interesting, as it can refer both to the physical sensation of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, as well as the emotional and psychological effects of being consumed by desire or obsession. By equating these two forms of intoxication, the song suggests that the seductive power of desire can be just as addictive and destructive as any chemical substance.
