Land Of Confusion
The Disturbed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street
Now, did you read the news today?
They say the danger has gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
Can't you see this is the land of confusion?
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in
Oh, Superman, where are you now?
When every thing's gone wrong somehow?
Men of steel, these men of power
I'm losing control by the hour
This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is the land of confusion
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in
I remember long ago
When the sun was shining
And all the stars were bright all through the night
In the wake up this madness, as I held you tight
So long ago
I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep
There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
Can't you see this is the land of confusion?
Now, this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for
This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to
The lyrics to The Disturbed's song "Land of Confusion" highlight the chaos and confusion of the world we live in. The opening lines describe the singer's nightmares and the screams that haunt them, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the global unrest and turmoil that is happening all around us. The sound of marching feet moving into the street suggests an impending conflict or battle that is drawing nearer.
The lyrics go on to question the reliability of the news that reports the danger has gone away, while the fire still burns bright in the night, symbolizing the fact that conflicts never truly end. The lyrics also express the sentiment that there are too many people causing too many problems, and not enough love in the world to counteract the chaos. The song ends by urging people to stand up and make a difference, to use the hands they are given to create a better world.
Overall, the song is a call to action, urging people to see beyond the chaos and confusion of the world and create something better.
Line by Line Meaning
I must have dreamed a thousand dreams
I have had countless worries and anxieties
Been haunted by a million screams
I have been tormented by the cries of many people
But I can hear the marching feet
I can hear ominous sounds of approaching danger
They're moving into the street
The threat is getting closer and closer
Now, did you read the news today?
Did you hear what's been reported in the media?
They say the danger has gone away
The news states that the threat has disappeared
But I can see the fire's still alight
But I can still sense that the hazard is present
They're burning into the night
The danger is raging on through the night
There's too many men, too many people
There is an excess of individuals, but not enough compassion
Making too many problems
Their actions are causing too much trouble and suffering
And there's not much love to go around
There is not enough positivity and kindness in the world
Can't you see this is the land of confusion?
This chaotic and troubled world is where we live
This is the world we live in
Our reality is one of trouble, strife, and uncertainty
And these are the hands we're given
We are the ones who must confront the challenges we face
Use them and let's start trying
We should start making an effort to improve our world
To make it a place worth living in
So the world can become a better and safer place
Oh, Superman, where are you now?
This is a plea for a hero to help us in times of trouble and crisis
When everything's gone wrong somehow?
When everything seems to be falling apart around us
Men of steel, these men of power
This refers to those in positions of authority and influence
I'm losing control by the hour
The situation is spiraling out of control quickly
This is the time, this is the place
Right now, in this moment, we must confront our problems
So, we look for the future
We must focus on building a better world ahead
But there's not much love to go around
Unfortunately, there is still a lack of kindness and empathy
Tell me why this is the land of confusion
Explain to me why our world is so tumultuous and troubled
I remember long ago
There was a time in the past when things were better
When the sun was shining
When things were brighter and more hopeful
And all the stars were bright all through the night
The world seemed to be full of possibilities and wonder
In the wake up this madness, as I held you tight
In the midst of all the turmoil, I found love and comfort
So long ago
But that seems like a distant memory now
I won't be coming home tonight
I will not be able to return to a world free of trouble and strife
My generation will put it right
My peers and I will strive to make the world better
We're not just making promises
We are not just talking about change, we are working towards it
That we know we'll never keep
We are committed to bringing lasting and meaningful change
This is the world we live in
We cannot escape this troubled reality
And these are the hands we're given
But we can use our hands to make the world a better place
Use them and let's start trying
We must make an effort to bring about change
To make it a place worth fighting for
So that future generations can inherit a world worth living in
And these are the names we're given
We are each given a unique identity and a role to play
Stand up and let's start showing
We must stand up for what is right and lead by example
Just where our lives are going to
We must determine our own path and shape our collective future

"Land Of Confusion"
[Originally by Genesis]
I must have dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street
Now, did you read the news today?
They say the danger has gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
They're burning into the night
There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in
Oh, superman, where are you now?
When everything's gone wrong somehow?
The men of steel, these men of power
Are losing control by the hour
This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is a land of confusion
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given

I remember long ago
When the sun was shining
And all the stars were bright all through the night
In the wake of this madness, as I held you tight

My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep
There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go round
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?
Now, this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for
This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to
@jasonoverman9679
People seem to be missing one key point of this song. It's about people putting aside their differences and uniting against those that are using people's fear, anger and hatred to control us and keep us divided.
@DarthVader-sp8fe
Basically the Media is what you're telling me right
@jasonoverman9679
@@DarthVader-sp8fe them(both sides of the political spectrum) and the people pulling their strings. Which is why their song "The Vengeful One" is always a good one to listen to after this one
@chrispersinger5422
@@jasonoverman9679 Exactly my guy, and yet people use this song to push a political agenda ironically enough, because they can twist the interpretation of it.
@2knives1cook
You mean like what the US government is doing?
@chrishart3552
Well the fat corporate boss is a good metaphor for Jeffrey Epstein and his associates. They've been buying out governments for 25+ years. If anyone deserves to get Robin Hooded, it's them.
@daisymeroalin2372
Fact: The older this song gets, the more relevant it is
Edit: Revisiting this 2 years later as yet another war starts
@Ithurtssobad
It has always been relevant. Problems don't get worse, they simply exist and won't go away until people learn how to behave themselves and absolve their selfish nature. Unfortunately, we humans are only good at fucking everything up.
@greentiger5886
That is a frightening truth.
