    the "mother" is a metaphor for society, children being forced to obey rules and become brainwashed. Mother society abuses it's children for not thinking the way she wants them to think. The son hitting the mother is society fighting against these rules and turning aggressive against it

    I love your reactions to Disturbed! Priceless. I'm a 66 year old grandmother and have listened to disturbed forever. Coming from addiction myself, quite simply put, being abused brings up a rage that is hard to describe. Not all who are abused go on to abuse their children or whoever but can certainly understand the rage. Some do become violent though. Raised in an abusive family, and going on to become an addict/ alcoholic (in recovery now for 33 years), I can still identify with that dark place. This music actually helps to quell that in a more constructive way than say, breaking stuff.

    • @randpierce3278

      Amen. For me it describes me perfectly in my teen years.. What Alex Hefner forgets that in the break down it starts with... And when I dream... Not literally beating his mom but in his dreams he does. I lived that for many years because of her abuse. I am 53 years old and it still effects me sometimes. I also am a recovering addict been in recovery for 20 years. Thank you for your words it's good to know I am not the only one

    • @Kaotiqua
      @Kaotiqua 3 роки тому +12

      The analysis at the top of the comments- about metaphors for society and youth... kinda feels like it's coming from someone who _didn't_ experience actual abuse, and so fails to fully relate. Ironically, the song confused Alex, and that confusion is EXACTLY what the song is about. The "demon in me" is the darkness that arises from abuse, and which conflicts with the healthy person one wants to be.

And I do mean that because id sit there with a razor blade in my hand and listen to the same songs over and over again, thinking "fuck this, if im gonna die I just wanna hear this one more time first."

    Even if it WAS about society/govt/whatever, and wasn't about an abusive person, the lyrics and principle still apply. Abusers are twisted. Abusers are terrible people. Being a parent does not get them a free pass. Abusers deserve to have whatever they dish out inflicted back upon them. Abusers deserve to be destroyed. Abusers deserve no mercy.

      The radio near me about a decade ago did play a shorter version and it was mostly uncensored.
      Both the "Ah Shit" and "Fucker" said in the chorus weren't censored.
      The only thing that was was done was it jumped right from the last "And When I Dream" right to the end of the "Talky Part", skipping it entirely.
      Within the last few years with all the PC people crying, they went back and re-edited it.
      Everything that was allowed is now censored, but the entire talky part is put back in (only f-bombs and shit censored).
      So near me, they don't play the shorter version anymore, but it's still more censored (kinda a shame).
      Personally, I'd accept the shorter version that it used to be before if there was no other censoring.

    This is a quote about this song by the lead singer, David Draiman: "speaks about the eternal struggle of the individual against the mother culture of society that is constantly trying to beat the child struggling for independence and individuality into submission." Disturbed is solid band that really finds a way to be badass, 'heavy' and accesable for new metalheads, non metalheads. The singer is seriously good. Up there with the top metal clean vocalists, no doubt. I recommend you to listen to stricken by disturbed. I think you'll really like that one. You don't have to do a reaction to that one, since you already did Disturbed now.
    I recommend December flower- In Flames. This is the same genre as Twilight of the thunder gods, but not Viking themed

    Well, she hasn't been much of a mother if she has been beating the living shit out of you.

    So so happy you found the uncensored version to listen to as the "Mother" outro is cut from the song and the song is SO SO famous with 80-90% of it's fanbase never having heard the Mother bit and therefore still not knowing the real meaning behind the song. It's crazy how that one part changes the meaning or what you take from the song(the vibe) and to think that most people have never even heard that part

    I always looked at is at that part that kind of worried you, directly follows..."and when I dream.....when I dream..." I always took that as him dreaming of how he'd push back, and that the rest of the song is all that hatred and negative energy turning him into something that he's not...maybe even to the point of following in her footsteps. I always thought of it as him dreaming how he would/should have reacted to her, not that he really did.

      The singer has straight up said its a metaphor. He may well have been abused but not by his parents. Its also quite possible it was inspired from a friends abuse. Dave is quite the champion for mental illness.

      gerne :D das Lied gehört zum Standard in Rockclubs und wenn ich feiern geh, dann meistens in solchen. Da es dann dort immer läuft, hör ich es seltener privat und befasse mich demnach auch nicht so krass mit den lyrics oder der metaphorischen Aussage dahinter wie Mutter=Gesellschaft usw., wie ich es vielleicht sonst tun würde. Deswegen war es cool zu lesen dass das jemand so auf den Punkt gebracht erklärt hat, gerade weil man ja doch zu manchen Songs Bezug hat aber sie nicht wirklich interpretiert hat :D
