Stricken
Disturbed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You walk on like a woman in suffering
Won't even bother now, to tell me why
You come alone, letting all of us savor the moment
Leaving me broken, another time
You come on like a blood stained hurricane
Leave me alone, let me be this time
You carry on like a holy man pushing redemption
That I am stricken and can't let you go
When the heart is cold there's no hope
And we know
That I am crippled by all that you've done
Into the abyss will I run
You don't know what your power has done to me
I want to know if I'll heal inside
I can't go on, with a holocaust about to happen
Seeing you laughing, another time
You'll never know how your face has haunted me
My very soul has to bleed this time
Another hole in the wall of my inner defenses
Leaving me breathless, the reason I know
That I am stricken and can't let you go
When the heart is cold there's no hope
And we know
That I am crippled by all that you've done
Into the abyss will I run
Into the abyss will I run
You walk on like a woman in suffering
Won't even bother now, to tell me why
You come alone, letting all of us savor the moment
Leaving me broken, another time
You come on like a blood stained hurricane
Leave me alone, let me be this time
You carry on a holy man pushing redemption
I don't want to mention, the reason I know
That I am stricken and can't let you go
When the heart is cold there's no hope
And we know
That I am crippled by all that you've done
Into the abyss will I run, into the abyss will I run
I can't let you go
Yes I am stricken and can't let you go

Para los hispanos:
Caminas como una mujer en sufrimiento
Ahora no importara decirme el ¿Porque?
Viniste solo, dejándonos degustar el momento
Dejándome destrozado una vez más
Vienes como un huracán manchado de sangre
Déjame solo, Ahora déjame ser “yo”
Llegas como un santo clamando redención
No lo quiero decir, conozco la razón.
Es que estoy enfermo y no puedo dejarte
Cuando el corazón se enfría, no hay esperanza, y lo sabemos
Que estoy lisiado por todo lo que me hiciste hacer
En el abismo correré.
No sabes que t u poder esta echo para mí
Quiero saber si me sanare por dentro
No puedo continuar con un holocausto apunto de suceder
Viéndote reír otra ves
Nunca sabrás como tu cara me cautivo
Mi alma tuvo que sangrar esta vez
Otro hoyo en la pared de mis defensas interiores
Dejándome sin respirar, conozco la razón.
Es que estoy enfermo y no puedo dejarte
Cuando el corazón se enfría, no hay esperanza, y lo sabemos
Que estoy lisiado por todo lo que me hiciste hacer
En el abismo correré.
En el abismo correré.
Caminas como una mujer en sufrimiento
Ahora no importara decirme el ¿Porque?
Viniste solo, dejándonos degustar el momento
Dejándome destrozado una vez más
Vienes como un huracán manchado de sangre
Déjame solo, Ahora déjame ser “yo”
Llegas como un santo clamando redención
No lo quiero decir, conozco la razón.
Es que estoy enfermo y no puedo dejarte
Cuando el corazón se enfría, no hay esperanza, y lo sabemos
Que estoy lisiado por todo lo que me hiciste hacer
En el abismo correré.
En el abismo correré.
Y no puedo dejarte ir
Si soy un enfermo y no puedo dejarte ir.
Aguante Disturbed.

The energy is so liberating. People who don't listen this type of music will never understand.
@davidhyland6530

@gatunho0202
Concordo
@tibi1687
its great songwriting, to begging with.
@MayimHastings
This album came out 19 years ago! So crazy to think about. The Sickness came out in 2000, when i was a 15 year old goth, hell bent on being the the best guitarist ever. Arthritis and massive nerve damage derailed my plans a year later, but that magical time of hope and attitude will live with me forever. A lot of that magic existed because of Disturbed. So grateful!
@samcaban7229
So sorry for your misfortune, however you're still around to enjoy this music that's all that matters 👍
@gratashipoovska2184
I understand you. Distarbed saved my life during that period. And songs from 2005-2007. I was a 16 year old goth too
@StringfellaHawk-p5n
Inspired me been a guitarist too. The list goes on. Korn, slipknot, godsmack, linkin park like I said the list goes on. My favourite guitarist is Steve vai and nuno from the band extreme. I am sorry to hear about the nerve damage. Mate I have aggressive tendinitis it’s Annoying. So can imagine how you feel.
