The Curse
Disturbed (Www.Safalbum.Biz) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a time bomb ticking inside
No hope for the hopeless,
I can see the pieces all laid out in front of me
No point even asking why
Couldn't help even if you tried
Step aside or you might just be the next contestant
Devastation, Obliteration
Are all to the point of Exacerbation
There's no explaining my situation now,
Why does this shit keep happening to me?
I've held on too long just to let it go now,
Will my inner strength get me through it some how
Defying the curse that has taken hold
Never surrender,
I'll never be overcome!
Too dark for forgiveness, I
Can't seem to do anything right
When I try to rebuild I see my humble shelter
Just fall to the ground again
Object to the evil eye
No point to let anyone try
Take heed my friend lest you be torn asunder
Like all that's become of me
Decimation, Disintegration
Now beyond the point of imagination,
There's no explaining my situation now
Why does this shit keep happening to me?
I've held on too long just to let it go now,
Will my inner strength get me through it some how
Defying the curse that has taken hold
Never surrender,
I'll never be overcome!
I've held on too long just to let it go now,
Will my inner strength get me through it some how
Defying the curse that has taken hold
Never surrender,
I'll never be overcome!
I've held on too long just to let it go now, (Will my inner strength)
Will my inner strength get me through it some how (Defying the curse)
Defying the curse that has taken hold
Never surrender,
I'll never be overcome!

They're asking why this keeps happening to them, and they feel as though their situation is beyond anyone's understanding. The person is holding on to their inner strength and defying the curse that has taken hold of them, determined to never surrender and never be overcome.

imagine not experiencing "Decadence", "Dehumanized" and "Pain Redifined" as a kid from Need For Speed Underground game series in the early 2000's
imagine not discovering "Stricken" and "Sons of Plunder" as a heavy as fuck Nu-Metal banger for the first time when the Nu-Metal scene was still hyped around 2000's
Imagine not discovering "Voices" and "Deify" music videos on Youtube in 2009 when Youtube was still very new and interesting on the internet
imagine not looking actively for more Disturbed songs after getting excited, discovering and enjoying "Prayer", "Liberate", "Believe", "Rise", "Breathe", "Bound", "Devour", "Mistress", "Darkness" of the Album Believe.
imagine not disovering "Land of Confusion" and "Guarded" from the album Ten Thousand Fists when it just came out in 2005
Imagine not discovering the song "Indestructible" when it came out in 2008 and binge playing it over and over
Welp everyone has their own different experience how they got introduced to Disturbed but in the end we all came to enjoy this band
@masonthompsen9209
Favorite workout song. Been battling obesity for nearly 3 years now.
@sirroderic4794
Best of luck brother
@masonthompsen9209
Quick update: I've lost 20 pounds since this posting. Feeling a lot better and finally found cardio that works for me. For some reason the elliptical will raise my heart rate to the proper numbers without making me feel like I can't breath, so that's been working for me!
@sirroderic4794
@@masonthompsen9209 great to hear, I've also been losing some weight the past few months, mostly form barely eating anything
@ryanshelton4636
I think everybody was obese till Disturbed came out with the flames😎
@markbroderickmatthew
Damn thought this was only my workout song😂
@emanuelaracic2608
Damn. Every track off Indestructible is straight up banger.
