Disaster
Strength Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a disaster with electric veins
I'm a disaster with electric veins
I'm a disaster with electric veins
The current pumps faster, makes my heart pump again
Disaster, disaster, disaster
Disaster, disaster, disaster

A piece of candle hits the floor (a piece of candle hits the floor)
The professor locks the door (the professor locks the door)
Found that I can open chains (I'm gonna do it, do it, do it again)
Pull back bolts and I feel no pain
I feel no pain, I feel no pain, well, come on

I'm a disaster with electric veins
I'm a disaster with electric veins, yeah
I'm a disaster with electric veins
The current pumps faster, makes my heart pump again, it pumps
Disaster, disaster, disaster, yeah
Disaster, disaster, disaster

Well, douse the lights and listen in (douse the lights and listen in)
This is the story of my revenge (this is the story of my revenge)
On the river in the sand (oo, yeah, oo, yeah)
I killed Professor with these hands
With these hands, with these hands, well, come on

I'm a disaster with electric veins
I'm a disaster with electric veins
I'm a disaster with electric veins (well, c-c-c-c-come on)
The current pumps faster, makes my heart pump again, it pumps




Disaster, disaster, disaster
Disaster, disaster, disaster

Overall Meaning

The song "Disaster" by Strength invokes themes of destruction and power through the metaphor of "electric veins." The repetition of the phrase "I'm a disaster with electric veins" throughout the song emphasizes the idea that the singer is not only a force to be reckoned with but is also a source of destruction. The current flowing through their electric veins represents the energy and power they hold, and as the current pumps faster, it makes their heart pump again, suggesting that their power is linked to their emotional intensity. The refrain of "Disaster, disaster, disaster" further emphasizes this idea of destruction and chaos.


The verse about the candle and the professor creates a vivid image of the singer breaking free and taking revenge. The piece of candle hitting the floor could represent the spark of rebellion that ignites the singer's desire for freedom. The professor locking the door could symbolize the control and oppression that the singer is rebelling against. The line "I'm gonna do it, do it, do it again" suggests that the singer has broken free before and is determined to do it again. When they say "I feel no pain," it could indicate that they have become numb to the consequences of their actions or that their pain has driven them to seek revenge.


The second verse reveals that the singer has killed the professor and is confessing to the act. The line "On the river in the sand, I killed Professor with these hands" has a poetic quality to it, referencing the image of writing in the sand that can be washed away by the tide. This could suggest that the singer feels their actions have been erased or forgotten by society, even if they are still haunted by what they've done. The repetition of "with these hands" reinforces the idea that the singer is taking ownership and pride in their act of rebellion, despite the consequences.


Overall, the lyrics of "Disaster" by Strength create a visceral image of a character who is both powerful and destructive, seeking revenge against an oppressor who they've already killed.
