Land of Confusion
Disturbed Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
And Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching of feet
Moving into the street

Now did you read the news today?
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fires still alight

Burning into the night

There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?

Ah Ah Ah Ah

This is the world we live in
(oh oh oh)
And these are the hands we're given
(oh oh)
Use them and let's start trying
(oh oh oh)
To make it a place worth living in

Oh, superman, where are you now?
When everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, these men of power
Are losing control by the hour

And this is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is a land of confusion

Ah Ah Ah Ah

This is the world we live in
(oh oh oh)
And these are the hands we're given
(oh oh)
Use them and let's start trying
(oh oh oh)
To make it a place worth living in

I remember long ago
When the sun was shining
And all the stars were bright
All through the night
In the wake of this madness
As I held you tight
So long ago

I won't be coming home tonight
(sha sha)
My generation will put it right
(sha sha)
We're not just making promises
(sha sha)
That we know we'll never keep

There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?

Ah Ah Ah Ah

Now, this is the world we live in
(oh oh oh)

Line by Line Meaning

I must have dreamed a thousand dreams
I have had so many hopes and aspirations over time

Been haunted by a million screams
I have been plagued by countless cries of despair and agony

But I can hear the marching feet
Despite my dreams and the screams I hear, reality is now taking place

They're moving into the street
Something is happening; people are coming together

Now, did you read the news today?
Were you informed of current events or happenings?

They say the danger has gone away
They say that things have calmed down and that we are safe

But I can see the fire's still alight
I can see that there are still problems, visible evidence of the chaos

They're burning into the night
These fires are constantly present, casting gloom on the future

There's too many men, too many people
The world population and its problems are becoming overwhelming

Making too many problems
We are causing harm to the world and each other

And there's not much love to go around
We don't seem to be caring and supportive of each other

Can't you see this is the land of confusion?
This constantly shifting, chaotic world is so full of turmoil

This is the world we live in
This is the current state of the environment we all share

And these are the hands we're given
We have the ability to help and create change for the better

Use them and let's start trying
It's time for action and actual efforts to make a difference

To make it a place worth living in
Our ultimate goal should be to build a community we all want to reside in

Oh, Superman, where are you now?
We still rely on a sense of hope and waiting for a powerful rescuer

When everything's gone wrong somehow?
Things always seem to end up unsatisfactory, no matter our efforts

Men of steel, these men of power
The powerful figures of the world, the ones who should be helping us

I'm losing control by the hour
I'm losing grip on this world and the possibility of change

This is the time, this is the place
This moment, right now, is where we need to focus our attention

So we look for the future
We hope that things will turn out for the better in the long run

But there's not much love to go around
The absence of emotional care for others is still a major problem

Tell me why this is the land of confusion
Why does this world continue to stay in chaos and disorder?

I remember long ago
There was once a time where things were simpler and safer

When the sun was shining
The world used to be bright and full of promise

And all the stars were bright all through the night
The night sky was once vibrant and sparkling with hope

In the wake of this madness, as I held you tight
In this chaotic world, I still hold on to those I care for

So long ago
Those precious moments feel like ages ago

I won't be coming home tonight
I cannot bear to come back to such a hopeless and broken world

My generation will put it right
My peers and I will create the necessary changes to better our world

We're not just making promises
We are not simply stating our intent without action to follow through

That we know we'll never keep
We fully intend to carry out our plans, no matter the difficulty

This is the world we live in
This is the harsh reality of our environment that we must confront

And these are the hands we're given
The power to make a difference is in our own two hands

Use them and let's start trying
It's time to utilize our given abilities and make change happen

To make it a place worth fighting for
Our ultimate goal is to create a world worth fighting to protect and uphold

And these are the names we're given
The names and identities we possess are all a part of this world

Stand up and let's start showing
We must take action and showcase the change we want to see

Just where our lives are going to
It's time to determine the direction of our future, and make it a positive one.

Description of the clip:

0:05 The Dark Messiah(also known as The Vengeful One) landing into the modern world.
0:09 - 0:16 Soldiers with English and Russian flags on their uniforms mean the world's governments working together against the people even when they are showing themselves as enemies of each other to their people. Fighter jets are bombing the energy facilities to "declare war" but in fact both the attacker and owner of the energy facilities' governments planned that together.
0:17 You can clearly see that big fat guy in a casual suit symbolizes the capitalism.
0:18 - 0:23 It's showing the British(used in WW1), German(used in ww2), and American(commonly used in Afghanistan and Iraq war) tanks in order. The important point is all of them have the same flag(it's similiar to nazi flag) on them.
0:24 - 0:25 Fighter jets bombing an asian territory probably it's a reference to Vietnam war because of the ambience.
0:27 - 0:30 Shows the terror events which planned by governments. A guy who is wearing a balaclava is shooting to civilians and armed soldiers ganking the people's houses to suppress them.
0:31 - 0:33 Fighter jets bombing a modern city, the rich and strong people losing nothing but the normal citizens of the world is dying under the bombs.
0:35 - 0:43 Vengeful one got chained by the public enemy: governments. He is trying for a while then breaking his chains off.
0:44 - 0:48 Shows a few presidents/leaders of the head governments.
0:49 - 0:50 Capitalism sits down to his chair and you can see the place where the leaders are arguing. That means they are all getting controlled by capitalism.
1:01 There is a possiblity that scene is a reference to Sept. 11, 2001.
1:13 - 1:15 It's showing the many flags on the same soldiers' arms (again).
1:17 - 1:29 First a soldier running over a doll and breaking it into pieces, then soldiers are attacking to unarmed civilians. Other than that their robotic appereances mean they are nothing more than robots. You can also see a scared child(probably african) at 1:23. Finally an islamic[ofc it's just an image which is manipulated by governments so they can freely use the Islam to hide the real makers(themselves) of the events] terrorist leader sending a kid to death by using her as a kamikaze.
1:56 Vengeful one is putting up his right hand to air while leading the people against the evil forces. It's not his left hand because probably they wanted to stay out of any ideology like socialism in the video.
1:57 - 2:01 Big Ben(London), Arc de Triomphe(Paris), an iconic street of Tokyo, Süleymaniye Mosque (Istanbul), Statue of Liberty(New York and sadly all of them are in ruins.
2:05 - 2:36 People are fighting with the soldiers. You can clearly see most of them are rock/metal music listeners by looking how they look like. Also there is a great detail at 2:05, he is an Injun(the local people of North America).
2:38 - 2:39 The capitalism keeps smoking his cigar and smiles while turning to screen which displays the fight between soldiers and citizens. He literally enjoys watching it because he always earned more by the more people died.
2:43 - 2:46 Ironically both NATO and Warsaw Pact member countries(governments)' flags in the same place. (check: alliances during cold war years)
2:48 - 3:06 People beat up the soldiers of governments so cities and the world wonders are rewinding.
3:12 You can clearly see the all flags this time.
3:15 - 4:23 Probably a government building such as senate or parliament. The guy of capitalism(symbolically as we said before) sitting in there with confidence and you can also see the people beating the "leaders" in there. All of these "leaders" are getting panicked when the Vengeful one breaks down the gate of their room. Finally people beat the capitalism and the Vengeful one finishes him off, then you can see a rain of cash all over the city(maybe it symbolizes the fair distribution of income).

4:34 - 4:48 In the end Vengeful one is calling people to join him one more time but the people are not sure about it. They are also unhappy and stressed because of the lack of authority. Anyway they accept the Vengeful One and hold up their hands together for a better future.

@@SamieCarvalhoexplain it because I hear tertiary “this is what Biden said the heritage foundation said” bs, and I’m not reading the 30 subsections worth of material in one go. We also have to assume Trump will listen to all that the heritage foundation says, which he didn’t do his first presidency. Meanwhile people want Biden to expand the Supreme Court (FDR wasn’t allowed to do this and this caused concern that he wanted to be a dictator) and I’ve heard a renowned bbc journalist and another well known actress straight-up say that Biden needs to step up and delete Donald Trump…. That’s concerning. And Trump’s trial certainly seems politically motivated, especially the more you find out, for the most part. And Trump didn’t rlly politically target anyone, he talked big talk about Hillary but nothing came of that. Not to mention I find it comforting that lies are a lot easier to spot on the right, because the left in instances not only manipulate but change language, leftist media is wild and I never imagined until after the debate that they’d be so one-sided, I get that trump lied a lot (most was obvious) but they actively didn’t correct him on some of his falsehoods… now right wing media can be the same but it’s much harder for them and that’s prolly just cuz they don’t have the influence these other organizations do

You couldn't said any better, that's the best way of interpreting both songs. There's a mixture of both versions here on YouTube, the mix of Disturbed's agressive and gritty sound and Genesis' dramatic, optimistic and hopeful style blend together perfectly and almost give the song and heroic feeling, like this time things will put be right, like change really is on our hands.

All disturbed did was hit straight to the point. When Phil Collins made this, the Cold War was a scare to everybody. Everyone back then looked up to people like Superman and this song.

While a woman gets a "performance warning" after her stillbirth. People starving and dying as the elite have so much money they can't figure out what to do with it, and decide rides to SPACE is the best use of it after polling the public. I'm done, this is a failed system and we need a revolution. A PHYSICAL one, where we overthrow these people and the offspring they intend to transfer their wealth to, tho they didn't earn it.

War for profit is a facet of corporate capitalism.
Also since such capitalism is the dominant ideology at this time, pointing out that it’s hypocritical to criticize the system you’re obliged to participate in is useless. It doesn’t invalidate the criticism, either.
To your point...I’m pretty sure this fits in with their whole “music as a weapon” vibe.

@austinblackburn8095

5y↑3

@@alexarvanitis4331 I'd have to disagree about war for profit and capitalism being the same. Maybe I could agree crony capitalism however that would only apply to companies that get bail outs and special contracts by the government. Also war for profit only benefits a very small number of businesses and hurts the rest to say large corporations like Google are actually making any large profit off war is dishonest. Most companies have very little power to force you to do anything so capitalism is just the natural result of letting people buy and sell whatever they want for a price both parties can agree upon. It only becomes bad if the government allows and works with companies to have more power than they are supposed to have removing what was supposed to be an even playing field which is crony capitalism. If large corporations had the type of power you suggest why would Walmart ever let Amazon sell anything more than books. Their have been a few cases of crony capitalism such as corn subsidies, bank bail outs, and bail outs of wall Street but all of these actually bad parts of capitalism are a result of the government also known as crony capitalism. Also if this was truly a criticism of the 1% and capitalism the lead singer is worth over 10 million well into the 1% and even though he is in a capitalist society he still could give away over 90% of his wealth to those less fortunate and still live a life far more extravagant than most.

Saw this video when when I searched for the track here and it's been on my pick-me-up playlist ever since. Was listening to it when my mum was around, she says it sounds familiar... I know the lyrics by heart at this point and say a few bars. She recognises it from Genesis, which gets me into their stuff.
Land of Confusion expresses a timeless sentiment that resonates with a lot of the working class. No matter how bad it gets, no matter how tight the 1% squeezes, there's no killing the feeling art like this inspires. We know we're free, we know every cent they hoard was made by us, and we know that when the scales tip too far we can take it all back. The capital monarchy knows all that too, despite their endless grasping. They can't help it; it's all they know.

Like saying "no, I'm not a hero", the. He goes on to do what he does in the rest of the video. The way I see it, they're saying you don't have to be anything special to have such a profound positive influence on society.

Yes in the whole video the main character is presented as part of the crowd. He is also in comparison pretty short, metaphorical equals size=power. But he has a special position in the szenario. I would argue the Character symbolizes the Band. Also the S is the Symbol of the Regime.

I am just curious who did the art style and animation of this as this man knows what he's doing

Todd McFarlane, the creator of Spawn. He's an interesting guy for sure. I recommend the HBO animated series, the unrated version. It's basically all this style of animation.

Or, it can be interpreted to show that the guy is not interested in personal fame. He doesn't to it for personal gain but for something higher. Higher than himself or any other person. He serves the idea which drove him to seek justice onto our world and its leaders. That is why he casts aside that S letter. He isn't for individual. He is for the higher idea.

We have let those rule our world who seek personal gain, most of the times with cost to someone else. The idea that it is good to have personal greed and the persons who have that trait naturally should get bigger portion of our collective resources (in other words, get paid more for their contribution to our world), is precisely the idea that we must kill if we ever want to have harmony with nature and in our lives again. We should not tolerate greed from anyone, least from our leaders.

Maybe someone, randomly browsing the internet 408819 years from now, ends up right here.
what questions would that person in the future have, what would he think?
