  • Karila from Woodland Hills, CaI don't believe that these lyrics can be interpreted in such a strict limit as to drugs (unless the band has stated that the song is really about drugs). The whole theme of the album deals with the struggles that one finds when following a faith, no matter what it is or what rules are about it. I am just finding it hard to believe that the song thus far have gone from such a general standpoint and then suddenly, this song is about drugs. I believe that the mistress can refer to any kind of internal sorrow that the person is experiencing, whether it be from drugs or internal conflicts. Unless you can cite the shource of which the "drugs" is clearly the mistress. Otherwise, I think that is a very shallow stereotype of Disturbed's music. In an interview w/ the German television show Mulatschag, Dan Donegan stated that the whole purpose of the album Believe is to find strength in unity despite beliefs, in a sense uniting everybody through depictions of their struggles in this life.
  • Kevin from Duluth, GaI think that David has had many girlfriends, or even women that he couldn't have, and has broken his heart, and he cannot awaken from the nightmare. But he continues to fall for another, and will never awaken.
  • Dylon from Grant, Miit remindes me of the Mistresses from Legend of the Seeker
