Mood: subdued
A Radical Dreamers journey through despair: and a band known as Disturbed.

Not going to give too much of a header from here on out until the last song of a cd. But here ya go "Pain Redefined":

Verse 1:
"Fading, falling, lost in forever
Will I find a way to keep it together?
Am I strong enough to last through the weather in the hurricane of my life?
Can it be a conscious decision?
That I look for ways to alter my vision?
Am I speeding towards another collision in the alleyways of my life?"

--Everyone's thought process in a time of turmoil. You question your self-strength, motivation, and desire to fight. Am I strong enough to survive my own life? Will I make the choice, or some other being? Do I need to change my perception? Am I about to train wreck again? Its all normal thinking for a human.--

Bridge (x2):
"Memories don't lie
You know better than
Memories don't lie
You know better than
Memories don't lie
You know better than
Those who have fallen in"

--Memories do no lie. In fact they are probably the only truths you have. And one with a memory will know better than one without a memory. Simple fact.--

Chorus:
"Please believe me
That my eyes deceive me?
Don't stand me up
Just leave me
I have fallen again
This is the end
Pain redefined"

--In the chorus we learn we are not strong enough to handle the drama within our life. We find our way back to pain. We fall down, and wish for no one to stand us back up. Our eyes have wronged us once again.--

Verse 2:
"Shaking, burning up with the fever
In the realm of pain, I am the deceiver
Now I lie to myself, so I can believe her
As she dissembles my life
I cannot dispel the illusion
All my hopes and dreams are drowned by confusion
Can I find a way to make a solution that will reconfigure my life?"

--Tis true. In the world of pain you are teh deceiver. You want to believe something so you modify your thinking process and "lie" to yourself to make it real. Someone breaks you down, you believe them, or resist the temptation to believe them and fall into denial. Confusion clouds everything. It makes it hard to see what your goal or prize is. And then the question comes up again. Can I find what needs to be done to fix all this?--

Bridge (x2)

Chorus

Refrain:
"And I know that stillness shatters
We have all been frightened by the
The sound of footsteps on the pavement of our lives
I stand and fight
I'm not afraid to die
Elochai, bury me tonight"

--Disturbed is wonderful for the refrains. Some of their best lyrics are found in these little nooks, and this is one. Stilness shatters, yes. The calm will at some point break. The next two lines indicate that everyone is afraid of people hitting the road and leaving them. The pavement of our lives is metaphorical in the sense it is the path people take when they walk out of your life. But he is not letting someone go this time, he will stand up and die for a cause. Elochai (my God), bury me tonight.--

Chorus
