1) Disturbed is an American alternative metal/hard rock band from Chicago, Illinois, formed in 1994. The band includes vocalist David Draiman, bassist John Moyer, guitarist/keyboardist Dan Donegan, and drummer Mike Wengren. Former band members are vocalist Erich Awalt and bassist Steve Kmak.
The band has released six studio albums, five of which have consecutively debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Disturbed went into hiatus in October 2011, during which the band's members focused on various side projects, and returned in June 2015, releasing their first album in four years, Immortalized, on August 21, 2015. They also recorded and released one live album, Disturbed: Live at Red Rocks on November 18, 2016, which was recorded on August 18, 2016 at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado, located about 10 miles west of Denver, Colorado. Their seventh studio album, Evolution, was released on October 19, 2018.
Before David Draiman joined Disturbed, guitarist Dan Donegan, drummer Mike Wengren, and bassist Steve "Fuzz" Kmak were in a band called Brawl with vocalist Erich Awalt. Before changing their name to "Brawl", however, Donegan mentioned in the band's DVD, Decade of Disturbed, that the name was originally going to be "Crawl"; they switched it to "Brawl", due to the name already being used by another band. Awalt left the band shortly after the recording of a demo tape; the other three members advertised for a singer. They posted an advertisement in the local music publication in Chicago, Illinois, called the "Illinois Entertainer". Draiman answered the advertisement after going to twenty other auditions that month. Guitarist Dan Donegan commented on Draiman: "You know, out of all the singers that we had talked to or auditioned, he [Draiman] was the only singer who was ready to go with originals. And that impressed me, just to attempt that".
With regard to Draiman being the singer for the band, Donegan said, "After a minute or two, he just starts banging out these melodies that were huge...I'm playing my guitar and I'm grinning from ear to ear, trying not to give it away that I like this guy, you know, because I don't want to, you know...[say] 'Yeah, we'll give you a call back. We'll, you know, discuss it.' But I was so psyched. Chill up my spine. I'm like, 'There is something here.'" As drummer Mike Wengren commented, "We clicked right off the bat." Draiman then joined the band in 1996 and the band was renamed Disturbed. When asked in an interview why he suggested to name the band "Disturbed," Draiman said, "It had been a name I have been contemplating for a band for years. It just seems to symbolize everything we were feeling at the time. The level of conformity that people are forced into was disturbing to us and we were just trying to push the envelope and the name just sorta made sense.
Disturbed headlined the 2018 Rock Fest, along with Godsmack and Incubus. The band announced via social media in early January of 2018 that they had entered the studio to begin recording their next studio album. In June 2018 lead guitarist Dan Donegan and bassist John Moyer confirmed with sources that the new album is complete, with 100% of the songs finished it is on to just mixing and mastering. Band members also posted a picture via Instagram together at a dinner party in celebration of completion of the recording process. The band's first album in over 3 years and the band’s first album in over 8 years to have bassist John Moyer being involved in.
The album, Evolution was released on October 19, 2018. On August 16, 2018, the lead single, titled "Are You Ready" was released. On September 21, 2018, the album's second single, titled "A Reason to Fight" was released.
Disturbed's mascot, named "The Guy", was originally just a drawing of a face with a large grin, as seen on the back of the album The Sickness. The original drawing of The Guy was then edited using a digital distorting program. After the original image had been distorted three times The Guy became the official mascot for the band. Later, he would be drawn as a full figure by artist David Finch.
Classified as a heavy meta or hard roc band, Disturbed is also regarded by some critics as nu metal and alternative metal. When asked about die-hard heavy metal fans not finding Disturbed heavy enough, Draiman at one time stated:
"We probably have too much melody going on or we're not quite as turbulent or caustic. While I really love that type of music, it's not what we try to do. If we have to place things in context, we're more hard rock than heavy metal these days. The secret is that we were never really part of any particular trend, although we definitely benefited from the popularity of what was called nu metal at the time ... We never had the stereotypical attributes that those bands had. We don’t rap; there’s no turntable involved; no fusion in that respect. We play, in my opinion, classic metal. Sabbath, Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Pantera: these are the bands that made us want to play."
Allmusic reviewer Bradley Torreano described the album Believe as "taking the sort of jump that their heroes in Soundgarden and Pantera made after their respective breakthrough records". He also described the title track as moving "from a brutal chug to a sweeping chorus that suddenly stops in its tracks and turns into a winding riff that recalls the work of vintage James Hetfield". Believe is also considered by several critics to be a step away from the nu metal sound featured on The Sickness, moving towards a more hard rock and heavy metal sound that was continued in their following albums.
According to frontman David Draiman on the band home documentary M.O.L., the lyrics that he writes are inspired by actual experiences of his own, and he stated that he likes to present his ideas with cryptic lyrics. These lyrical themes range from the Judeo-Christian concept of Heaven and Hell, domestic abuse, suicide, insanity, relationships, war, to more fantasy-like themes, such as vampirism, werewolves and demons.
They have often cited their influences as Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Metallica, Pantera, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Queensryche, Nirvana, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden.
Guitarist Dan Donegan uses guitar tunings Drop C, Drop C# and Drop B (also occasionally Eb), which are lower tunings than regular E standard. These lower tunings allow for a heavier sound and quicker chord changes in Donegan's riffs. Donegan also uses subtle electronic effects, which the rest of the band refers to as "The Danny Donegan Orchestra".
2) Late 80's Thrash band who released the album Disturbing the Peace in 1988.
"Cool crossover/thrash metal. The music takes off quite a few times, especially when it comes up with contrasting mixtures, like "Comatose", which blends heavy doomy riffage with brutal death-tinged outbursts; there are also some undeveloped, but intriguing attempts at more technical thrash (the instrumental "Brain Deth", the sophisticated technical "Productive Intercourse Serial Killer"), spiced with some jolly, rock'n roll hooks. The shorter numbers are pure unbridled hardcore ("Kill 'Em"), but here come the laid-back, soft moments ("Bought & Sold", "Die Die Die"), and things are well balanced. "Evil Sensations" is a pleasant surprise near the end, being energetic thrash/crossover, with a nice technical twist, followed by the melodic, but interesting instrumental "Astronomically", leaving very good impression, partially ruined by the aggressive hardcore closer "What The Fuck". The band disliked the popularity that a novelty song like WTF produced, and it WAS a fan favorite but largely dropped from their live set in the 1990s. Due in part to the lyrics and how the band felt about the song. The band was formed in Minneapolis, MN but toured extensively all over, including the stomping grounds of the later Disturbed; Chicago! They played Jack Koshick's Milwaukee MetalFest in it's earliest days and supported Sepultura and Pestilence on tour, as well as Death and Sadus, and local legends IMPALER. Earl passed away in 2008, he is missed by all who knew him, and his MySpace page remains testament.
3) A 70s UK punk band.
4) OC ReMixer Mark Dillon.
Open Your Eyes
Disturbed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You feed on the lies that they tell you
Got to break away from the numbing pain
Succumb to the rage that's inside you
You're hypnotized (hypnotized), demoralized
Believe every lie that they sell you
Stop channeling, whatever will remains
Discern from what's fiction and what is dream
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes
See through the disguise, won't you open your eyes?
(Your eyes)
You've lost your sense from the emptiness
You do as the headlines compel you
Become whole again and let the war begin
Destroy the veneer that surrounds you
There's no defense (no defense) for your recklessness
You stare as the proof lies before you
Why can't you see (can't you see), are you afraid to be
Exposed to the demons around you?
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes
See through the disguise, won't you open your eyes?
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes
See through the disguise, won't you open your eyes?
You will all be running, in a world you cannot hide
Know the end is comin' for the lemmings standing in line
Overcoming, let the fury built inside
It could all be broken, if you'd only open your eyes
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes
See through the disguise, won't you open your eyes?
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)
Open your eyes (ohh-oh-oh)

(Your eyes)
Disturbed's song Open Your Eyes is a track that addresses the state of affairs of the world that is full of darkness masked with superficiality presented by the media. The opening lines of the song "You're paralyzed with your disguise, You feed on the lies that they tell you," speaks to the people who blindly follow and believe whatever the media tells them. The song is a call for people to break free from the bondage of the lies and propaganda they are forced to consume every day. It urges them to open their eyes and identify the true reality behind the mask that's veiling their ability to see the truth.
The message of the song can also be interpreted as a cry for those who have lost their individuality and sense of self in the midst of the chaos that surrounds them. The line "You've lost your sense from the emptiness, You do as the headlines compel you," speaks to the audience that has forgotten their own beliefs and values and given in to the influence of the media. The chorus, "Open your eyes, See through the disguise, won't you open your eyes?" is a powerful reminder to the audience of the need to be vigilant and conscious of the world's happenings around them.
The overall theme of the song is one of hope, letting the audience know that though things may seem dark, they can take their power back by opening their eyes to the truth. The song encourages action instead of apathy, empowering the listener to take a stand against the lies and propaganda that seek to control and manipulate them.
Line by Line Meaning
You're paralyzed with your disguise
You are rendered powerless by the mask you wear to hide who you really are
You feed on the lies that they tell you
You sustain yourself on the deceit that they feed you
Got to break away from the numbing pain
You need to free yourself from the pain that's numbing you
So calm to the rage that's inside you
You are quietly suppressing the anger that's brewing inside you
You're hypnotized, demoralized
You are under a trance, hopeless and beaten down
You'll need every lie that they sell you
You'll require every lie that they peddle to you
Stop channelling, whatever will remains
You have to cease channeling whatever little willpower you have left
To sort from what's fiction and what is dream
To distinguish the implausible from the imaginary
Open your eyes
Awaken yourself
See through the disguise, won't you open your eyes?
See past the facade, won't you awaken yourself?
You've lost your sense from the emptiness
You've lost your discernment through the hollowness you feel
You do as the headlines compel you
You conform to the commands of the media
Come home again and let the war begin
Return to yourself and start fighting the battle
Destroy the veneeer that surrounds you
Shatter the thin layer that conceals who you are
There's no defense for your recklessness
You cannot justify your carelessness
You stare as the proof lies before you
You gaze at the evidence that's presented to you
Why can't you see, are you afraid to be
Why can't you perceive, are you fearful of becoming
Exposed to the demons around you?
Revealed to the malevolent forces that surround you?
You will now be running, in a world you cannot hide
You'll now have to flee, in a realm where you cannot escape
Know the end is comin' for the lamb that's standing in line
Be aware that the end is approaching for the person who's meekly waiting
Overcoming, there's a fury built inside
Overcoming, there's a rage that's been building up inside
It can all be broken, if you'd only open your eyes
It can all be shattered, if you'd just awaken yourself

You're in the trap of needing literal examples for far more base concepts.
In my opinion: everything is basic, and complexity is only when so many basic things interject that the average fool will only see a jumbled mess.
The message Disturbed has always advocated for is simple. "Stop feeding yourself, and others, with bullshit". That's it.
His songs against crime, politics, the media; they all feed back into: Stop lying and bullshitting.
Land of Confusion: Stop letting corporate heads manipulate you with their bullshit, and start being a solution, rather than feeding the problem.
Criminal: Stop defending stigmas. I personally vouch for this one. Labelling someone a "Murderer" after releasing them only forces them into the corner that the song Criminal is about, and stigmas are to blame at the root of that.
You get the idea. Anyone whom says Disturbed is about anything more than ending bullshit and propaganda is a fool for they can only see what they call "complicated" subjects, and I already covered what it means when a fool says something is complicated: They don't have their eyes open.

Você está paralisado com o seu disfarce
Você se alimenta das mentiras que eles te contam
Tenho que me livrar da dor entorpecente
Tão calmo para a raiva que está dentro de você
Você está hipnotizado, desmoralizado
Você vai precisar de cada mentira que eles te vendem
Pare de canalizar, o que restará
Para separar o que é ficção e o que é sonho
Abra seus olhos
Abra seus olhos
Abra seus olhos
Veja através do disfarce, você não vai abrir os olhos?
Você perdeu o sentido do vazio
Você faz como as manchetes o obrigam
Volte para casa e deixe a guerra começar
Destrua o veneeer que o cerca
Não há defesa para sua imprudência
Você olha enquanto a prova está diante de você
Por que você não pode ver, você tem medo de ser
Exposto aos demônios ao seu redor?
Abra seus olhos
Abra seus olhos
Abra seus olhos
Veja através do disfarce, você não vai abrir os olhos?
Abra seus olhos
Abra seus olhos
Abra seus olhos
Veja através do disfarce, você não vai abrir os olhos?
Você agora estará correndo, em um mundo que você não pode esconder
Saiba que o fim está chegando para o cordeiro que está na fila
Superando, há uma fúria construída dentro
Tudo pode ser quebrado, se você apenas abrir os olhos
Abra seus olhos
Abra seus olhos
Abra seus olhos
Veja através do disfarce, você não vai abrir os olhos?
Abra seus olhos
Abra seus olhos
Abra seus olhos
Veja através do disfarce, você não vai abrir os olhos?

This song was very interesting when it came out, everyone was trying to twist it to their own side saying it was against some specific political side, but the reality is that it’s calling out propaganda everywhere.
