Disorder
Mallavora Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's taking over
It's in your head he said
You seem fine to me
What a mystery...
I can't take this anymore
Disorder
It's taking over
You can't control her
Taking over me
This searing pain
That's in my jaw
I wanna
Just rip it out
And hurl my blood
At the wall
So disempowered
I've no control
Vulnerable
Don't even pretend like you would ever understand
Sometimes my head
Goes up in flames
It burns me
Licks at my teeth
I get so sick
Don't touch me
Think I'm weak?
You wanna swap?
Happily
Invisible…
The patient looks healthy
Ha!
Can you see me now
You've not been looking hard enough
I won't be silent anymore
Sometimes I hate this body
When you look at me
Things aren't what they seem
Pain is all I see
Disorder
It's taking over
Got no cure
You can't control her
Taking over me
I'm not getting better
I don't want your prayer
I'm not getting better
I don't want your prayer
The lyrics of Mallavora's song "Disorder" express the overwhelming presence of a disorder, possibly a psychological or mental health issue, that is consuming the singer's thoughts and emotions. The opening lines indicate that someone (possibly a medical professional) told the singer that they seem fine, but the singer acknowledges that there is a mystery underlying their perceived well-being. This suggests that the disorder is affecting them internally, despite appearing outwardly unaffected.
The frustration and desperation intensify as the singer expresses their inability to tolerate the disorder any longer. The repetition of the word "disorder" emphasizes its control over the singer's life, while also suggesting that there is no known cure for their ailment. The vivid imagery of wanting to rip out their own jaw and hurling blood against the wall reflects the extent of their suffering.
The lyrics also touch upon the feeling of powerlessness and lack of control that the singer experiences. They emphasize their vulnerability and emphasize that others cannot truly understand their struggle. The mention of their head going up in flames and burning them highlights the intensity of the pain they endure. The rejection of physical touch and the challenge issued to those who perceive them as weak signifies their defiance and refusal to be underestimated.
The lyrics conclude with a rejection of prayers or wishes for recovery. The singer states that they are not improving and that they do not want the superficial comfort of prayers. This refusal suggests a deep sense of frustration and perhaps a desire for more comprehensive support or understanding from those around them.

This song is so cathartic for me and means so much to me. My chronic pain has been at an absolute high lately and this really helps me feel less alone. Thanks for getting this kind of message out there.

Damn you captured the anger and desperation I feel at the medical system so well, this song is absolutely going ALL OVER my playlists. Absolutely INCREDIBLE. It's so nice to see someone with their mobility aid on screen too, so often we're told to hide them, so make ourselves invisible, this song is so loud, like it's forcing the people who ignored you to finally shut the hell up and LISTEN.
Amazing work! I absolutely adore this.
