Decadence
Disturbed · Ten Thousand Fists [2005]
Don't they know that you're full of pain already?
Yes they know that you hurt yourself another time
Decadence isn't easy, is it?
Yes they know that you hurt yourself another time
Don't they know that you're full of pain already?
Yes they know that you hurt yourself another time
Decadence isn't easy
Then you slowly recall all your mind
Why, your soul's gone cold, and all hope has run dry
Dead inside
Never enough to forget that you're one of the lonely
Slowly recall all your mind
Say, yes they know that you hurt yourself another time
Don't they know that you're full of pain already?
Yes they know that you hurt yourself another time
Decadence isn't easy, is it?
Yes they know that you hurt yourself another time
Don't they know that you're full of pain already?
Yes they know that you hurt yourself another time
Decadence isn't easy
Then you slowly recall all your mind
Why, your soul's gone cold, and all hope has run dry
Dead inside
Never enough to forget that you're one of the lonely
Slowly recall all your mind
If I scare you now
Don't run from me
I've been hiding my pain, you see
tell if I scare you now
Don't run from me
I've been hiding my pain, you see
Slowly recall all your mind
Why, your soul's gone cold, and all hope has run dry
Dead inside
Never enough to forget that you're one of the lonely
Slowly recall all your mind
Slowly recall all your mind
Say, yes they know that you hurt yourself another time
Don't they know that you're full of pain already?
Yes they know that you hurt yourself another time
Decadence isn't easy is it?
Decadence
Released on the 2005 album Ten Thousand Fists, "Decadence" stands as a defining track in Disturbed's evolution toward a heavier, more aggressive sound. The song exemplifies the band's signature blend of melodic hooks and crushing riffs, characteristic of their mid-2000s era. It features the distinctive vocal style of David Draiman, who often layered his voice to create a haunting, atmospheric texture that complements the driving rhythm section. As a staple of the nu-metal and alternative metal genres, the recording captures the raw energy and theatricality that defined Disturbed's live performances during this period. The track remains a popular choice for live sets and has cemented its place in the band's extensive discography alongside other anthems like "Down With The Sickness" and "Never Again".
