Disturbia
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing heard, nothing said, can't even speak about it
On my life, on my head, don't wanna think about it
Feels like I'm going insane, yeah
It's a thief in the night to come and grab you
It can creep up inside you and consume you
A disease of the mind, it can control you
Put on your pretty lies, you're in the city of wonder
Ain't gon' play nice, watch out you might just go under
Better think twice, your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter be wise
Your mind's in disturbia, it's like the darkness is light
Disturbia, am I scaring you tonight?
Disturbia, ain't used to what you like
Disturbia, disturbia
Faded pictures on the wall, it's like they're talking to me
Disconnecting on calls, the phone don't even ring
I gotta get out or figure this thing out
It's too close for comfort, oh
It's a thief in the night to come and grab you
It can creep up inside you and consume you
A disease of the mind, it can control you
I feel like a monster, oh
Put on your pretty lies, you're in the city of wonder
Ain't gon' play nice, watch out you might just go under
Better think twice, your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter be wise
Your mind's in disturbia, it's like the darkness is light
Disturbia, am I scaring you tonight?
Disturbia, ain't used to what you like
Disturbia, disturbia
Release me from this curse I'm in
Trying to maintain but I'm struggling
If you can't go I think I'm gonna
Put on your pretty lies, you're in the city of wonder
Ain't gon' play nice, watch out you might just go under
Better think twice, your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter be wise
Your mind's in disturbia, it's like the darkness is light
Disturbia, am I scaring you tonight?
Disturbia, ain't used to what you like
Disturbia, disturbia
The lyrics to Kidz Bop's song Disturbia speak to the feeling of being trapped in one's own mind and feeling like you are losing control. The first verse uses a car metaphor, saying that the singer has run out of gas and can't get started. They feel like they can't talk about what they're going through and don't want to think about it too much. The chorus introduces the idea of "disturbia" as a state of mind that feels like darkness and is both unfamiliar and scary. The second verse adds to this, saying that the singer feels like pictures on the wall are talking to them and they can't even use the phone. They want to get out of this state but feel trapped. The bridge calls for release from this "curse" and expresses the struggle of trying to maintain control.
The lyrics of Disturbia show a deep understanding of the human psyche and the ways in which mental illness can consume a person's thoughts and actions. By using the metaphor of a disease that can control you and a feeling of darkness that is both unfamiliar and scary, the song captures the feeling of being trapped in one's own mind. The chorus, with its repetition of the word "disturbia," emphasizes the intensity of this feeling and the sense of being unable to escape it. The bridge brings a new dimension to the song, with the singer expressing the desire to be released from the curse they are under.
