The band first appeared under the name THE DISASTER AREA in 2012 and their musical goal that was outlined with the debut ‘Sell Your Soul’ (Deafground Records) in 2016. In 2018 the band made some of the biggest steps in their career by signing to REDFIELD RECORDS and releasing their acclaimed second album “Alpha//Omega” in November of the same year. Sold out release shows as well as more than 2,000,000 streams of the album are only some of the successes that should be mentioned.
In December 2019, THE DISASTER AREA supported ESKIMO CALLBOY on their career’s biggest run of shows through 15 European cities, attended by more than 20,000 people. Right after that, in January 2020, THE DISASTER AREA took the role of the main support on TO THE RATS AND WOLVES’ farewell tour throughout Germany.
What THE DISASTER AREA defines, aside from their music, is the close relationship to their fans and that both sides take part in each other’s lives. Theis latest single ‘Glasshearts’, produced by Romesh Dodangoda who was also responsible for BRING ME THE HORIZON’s latest album, is a declaration of love by THE DISASTER AREA to their fans and presents the band’s new musical approach. Metalcore mixes with electronic elements and surprisingly matured alternative rock.

The Disaster Area Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm losing sight of what I used to be
Out of sight
Still in my mind
This can't be all it means to be me
I'm on my knees I'm losing faith
Drag me out
Before I drown
This can't be all it means to be me
Can you see that I am living a lie?
Can you hear the devil sing his sick lullaby?
This emptiness it haunts me
Night after Night
I see it clear I can't keep living this lie
This life in exile
Choking on every word I said
Out of my mind I'm the one to blame
Beat me down til I'm black and blue
This is hell I live through
Exile
This life in Exile
Exile
I can't live in this lie
This life in exile
I can't live in this lie
This life in exile
Exile
I can't live in this lie
Exile
This live in exile
The Disaster Area's song Exile is a deeply personal and introspective track that deals with themes of loss, identity, and struggle. The lyrics talk about the feeling of being trapped in one's own mind and losing sight of one's true self. The opening lines, "Is this all that I'm supposed to see? I'm losing sight of what I used to be," set the tone for the rest of the song.
The singer is grappling with a sense of emptiness and is struggling to break free from the mental confines that have been imposed upon them. They feel like they're living a lie and are haunted by a sense of isolation and alienation. The line "Can you see that I am living a lie? Can you hear the devil sing his sick lullaby?" captures this feeling of despair and hopelessness.
The chorus is a powerful and emotive call to action, as the singer urges someone to "Drag me out before I drown" and implores that "this can't be all it means to be me." However, despite the sense of urgency in their plea, they seem resigned to their fate and the emotional weight of their situation. Overall, the song is a powerful exploration of the human psyche and the toll that mental illness and trauma can take on a person.
