The Night
Disturbed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What madness taken hold of my heart
To run away, the only answer
Pulling me away
To run upon my sight
So now recovering
Sweet shadow taking hold of my mind
Another day has been devoured
Why
For saving me from all they've taken
Let my honor fall again
Giving me the strength to face them
Feeling it taking over now
I'm about to take it all away
There can be no better way of knowing
In a world beyond controlling
Are you going to deny the savior
In front of your eyes?
Stare into the night
Power beyond containing
Are you going to remain a slave for
The rest of your life?
Give into the night
This self-discovery
Redemption taking hold of my mind
This serenade of haunting voices
Calling me away
To piece from the sight
So much felicity
Downgrade and taking hold of my head
Leading me away from hibernation
Strong and I'm unafraid
Never a question why
For saving me from all they've taken
Let my honor fall again
Giving me the strength to face them
Feeling it taking over now
I'm about to take it all away
There can be no better way of knowing
In a world beyond controlling
Are you going to deny the savior
In front of your eyes?
Stare into the night
Power beyond containing
Are you going to remain a slave for
The rest of your life?
Give into the night
Give in to the night
In a world beyond controlling
Are you going to deny the savior
In front of your eyes?
Stare into the night
Power beyond containing
Are you going to remain a slave for
The rest of your life?
Give into the night
Night, night, night
Give into the night
Night, night, night
Give into the night
Give into the night
The lyrics to Disturbed's "The Night" contain themes of self-discovery and redemption as the singer grapples with an inner madness pulling them away from reality. The first stanza describes this feeling of being consumed by something unknown, and the singer's desire to run away from it. However, the sweet shadows that encompass the singer's mind prevent them from escaping, leading them to question what is happening to them.
The second stanza could be interpreted as the singer finding strength in themselves to face what is causing their inner turmoil. The lines "For saving me from all they've taken, let my honor fall again," suggest that the singer has been through some kind of ordeal but has emerged stronger. They are about to take everything away to prove their strength and there is no better way to do so than by facing the unknown head-on.
The chorus repeats the question of whether the listener is going to remain a slave to the world beyond their control and denying the savior in front of their eyes. This can be interpreted as asking if one is going to live life in fear or take control of it. The song ends with a repetition of "Give into the night" as the singer seems to embrace whatever is driving them.
Overall, "The Night" speaks to the human experience of grappling with the unknown and finding strength within oneself to face it. It is a powerful anthem of self-discovery and choosing to live life on one's own terms.

LYRICS:
What has come over me?
What madness taken hold of my heart?
To run away, the only answer
Pulling me away to fall upon (the night)
The source of my recovery
Sweet shadow taking hold of the light
Another day has been devoured
Calling me away, begging a question
Why?
For saving me from all they've taken
Let my honor fall again
Giving me the strength to face them
Feeling it taking over
Now, on a path to take it all away
There can be no better way of knowing
In a world beyond controlling
Are you gonna deny the savior
In front of your eyes?
Stare into the night
Power beyond containing
Are you gonna remain a slave
For the rest of your life?
Give into the night
This self-discovery
Redemption taking hold of my mind
A serenade of haunting voices
Calling me away to feast upon (the night)
The source of my felicity
Dark maiden taking hold of my hand
Lead me away, from hibernation
Strong and unafraid, never a question
Why?
For saving me from all they've taken
Let my honor fall again
Giving me the strength to face them
Feeling it taking over
Now, on a path to take it all away
There can be no better way of knowing

In front of your eyes?
Stare into the night

@emanuelaracic2608
Even if you ain't into metal, you can't deny those beautiful melodies and David's vocal abilities.
@DelusionalOni
Agreed.
@MarkoCoomo
You're either into metal or not heard the right metal yet.
@patrickdoran180
Or Dan's soloing 🤘
@seikoofu2595
Hard rock. But yes
@aarontestani
Facts! I’ve had people tell me to turn it off, but they keep their mouths shut once that final chorus comes around after the solo. He really hits those vocals on another level of dark beauty.
@Glassgothgirl
This is the last song my friend heard before she went to the operating room and saved the lives of several other people through organ donation. Jenn, you are a warrior and hero wherever your spirit lives now. Rule the Night as the Domina you are.
@mthw7046
That's absolutely beautiful.
@YzaekPark
Organ donation always get me in the feelings. 1 simple act and so much lives can be saved.
@yosefzee7605
she died?
