an absolutely awesome song that delves into the horrors of child abuse, and written in the style of an angry youth who grows up hating the things that his mother did and wanting revenge (and justice). And many times, what one experiences is when one can write the most powerful and yet, sometimes the darkest of lyrics ...
And stories like thisf DEFINITELY (and unfortunately) occur much more often than one wants to think about ... A close friend of mine's sister has two children and she couldn't care less about those children except for when it comes time to collect the welfare check so she can get her high off of crack. She neglects the children and will leave them all weekend so she can get laid and high. Fortunately, this person was arrested for prostitution and drug paraphenalia.

Pretty much agree with you; I don't completely hate Disturbed, and even have a few MP3's from them on my hard drive, but the lyrics to that song (and admittedly most of their others) come off as almost as manufactured and plastic as Britney's, just targeted at a different audience. I sometimes question whether any lyrics are truly written without profit in mind; I love bands like Tool and Radiohead and the complexity of their work makes it apparent that they are at least somewhat sincere -- because they could easily make money without putting forth so much effort -- but even Maynard and Tom Yorke may not always be writing lyrics solely for their artistic value.
What really ticks me off are people who bash the lyrics of one group while claiming that those of another band are divine insight and the biggest thing since Shakespeare, when in fact there is some amount of commercialism involved in pretty much all popular recorded music.
I'm aware of this. That's why I said controversy aside, or whatever I said.Stormsfury wrote:Down with the Sickness ...
