The Disturbed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now that I have allowed you to beat me?
Do you think that we could play another game?
Maybe I could win this time
I kind of like the misery you put me through
Darling, you can trust me completely
If you even try to look the other way
Rah, rah
Rah, rah
It doesn't really seem I'm getting through to you
Though I see you weeping so sweetly
I think that you might have to take another taste
A little bit of hell this time
Rah, rah
Lie to me
Rah, rah
Lie to me
Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now
Run for her life in the battle that ends this day?
Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now
Run for her life now that she lied to me?
You always wanted people to remember you
To leave your little mark on society
Well, don't you know your wish is coming true today?
Another victim dies tonight
Rah, rah
Lie to me
Rah, rah
Lie to me
Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now
Run for her life in the battle that ends this day?
Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now
Run for her life now that she lied to me?
Is she really
Telling lies again?
Doesn't she realize
She's in danger?
Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now
Run for her life in the battle that ends this day?
Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now
Run for her life now that she lied to me?
The little bitch, she went and she told a lie
And now she will never tell another, a lie
The little bitch, she went and she told a lie
Never fucking lie to me
"The Game" by The Disturbed is a song about a tumultuous relationship between two people. The lyrics suggest that one of them has been beaten down psychologically and emotionally by the other, who enjoys causing misery to the other person. The first verse begins with the beaten down person questioning what they are supposed to do now that they have allowed their partner to beat them. They then suggest playing another game, but they hope to win this time. This can also imply trying to take control of their relationship.
The second verse implies that the person enjoys the misery that the other puts them through, and asks for more. They believe that they can handle it this time and will not let it get the best of them. The third verse speaks more about the relationship and how the person has wanted to leave a mark on society. The ending of the song implies that the person who was beaten down, lashes out at their partner.
"The Game" has been interpreted by some music fans and critics as a song about a toxic relationship or a manipulative and abusive partner. The lyrics depict a relationship that has reached its breaking point, where one partner has become dominant and controlling, while the other is left powerless and helpless, possibly seeking revenge at the end. The song has become a favorite for fans of the nu-metal genre, and also for fans of the band, who consider it one of their most popular songs.

@Shaylob
Disturbed continues to be one of my favorite bands. ♥
@luvPOGL
They got a great heavy metal sound. And the singer has a great voice whether is songs like this or "Sound of Silence"
@stefanosk.nikolaidis6491
2023 Athens, amazing ❤
@robsenb16
I listened to this while doing a motorswap back in 2007 and then listened to it enjoying the car on the streets. And today when I listen to it (or Disturbed in general) I still get so much good vibes and good memories. And even if they make a song in 2040 it will still sound like Disturbed.
@VampireA1056
They are my favorite band
@Andrefreemanarsa
Facts!
@Acolis
