• Bryce from North Dakota@Ian I agree I got into an argument just yesterday (today is 4/27/17) on a game on my phone how this generation, my generation, is absolutely stupid and that rap music influences behavior and attitude. But I just wanna say David is singing about how all songs on the radio are serious repeats but here I am at job corps putting this song on loop.
• Ian from Chattanooga, TnOkay music is important to me but so is the state of society. this song is most likely talking about the popularity of Gang rap. Its destructive repetitive and sounds all the same. It talks down to women and glorify's violence and crime to all the little kiddies all over the world. Instead of singing about actual issues or something meaningful. But look at Disturbed's name they chose it because they were disturbed of all the "drones" people who don't think, and the kind of music that is popular right now is glorifying this behavior, a theme song for drones if you will. thats my take on the song think on it come to your own conclusion.
• Aaron from St. Louis, MoI gotta agree that this is about how there are new bands and groups popping up almost weekly that all sound so f---ing alike yet the big-wigs who sign them butter them up with so much hype on how they are different from anything they've heard before. The song also seems to say that they will all just fall apart and their useless whining about their failure will simply be drowned out by the next band or group. The only bands that I seem to even pay attention to are ones that have their own unique sound and rythm
• Matt from Tylersburg, PaThis song isn't a slur--it's pointing out the obvious.
• Joe from Douglas, United KingdomThis is an epic song by Disturbed (well pretty much every song by them is epic) I actually agree with them, all modern pop music is very similar
• Howard from Stevensville, MdFolks, lets face it!!! MUSIC IS SUPPOSED TO BE FELT ON AN INDIVIDUAL LEVEL!!! That is the reason music special or not. If a song means one thing to one person and something else to another, but the FEELING is the same, then it is GREAT music. If a song means the same thing to everyone, then it is no longer special and GREAT.
• Rupert from Highfields, AustraliaSo why is it that he reffers to them as "Sons of Plunder"? I figured throughout listening that it was about the "old sound" and how basically people just jump on the same bandwagon looking for success without a care of how they get it, but i could never understand, is it a Metaphor when he calls them Sons of Plunder or is it just a slur against them or what?
• Karly from Morrisville, PaI really enjoy the music of Disturbed because they truly do have their own sound. And to be honest, the first time I heard this song, I thought it was about pirates.
• Dave from Atlanta, GaIt's clear, listen to the song. He's commenting on the fact that bands nowadays don't really have their own "sound". They're all the same but remixed a bit.
• Jon from Sacramento, CaIt's been published in an interview with Draman that this song is about the music industry and how the record labels only sign bands who sound the same so they get sales. It can also be interpretted as the bands themselves simply mimicing the sound of popular bands to *get* the deals in the first place. The reference "searching for the answers they don't even care to know" being the mimicing of the sound and style without knowing/caring what the meaning behind the music is. As long as it sounds the same, they will be popular.
• Dave from Ft. Lauderdale, FlIt's possible that the song's a metaphor for the government... But even so, it's main focus is the current state of the music industry (More specifically: the state of rock music). All the new rock bands being pumped out have always kinda blended together. Nothing really makes them stand out from one-another: "One hundred more, all have the same sound
  Running around with all the sheep that you know
  ". Then there's the sad realization that these bands are trying to be deep and meaningful (like Disturbed) but they're just complaining and whining about there suburban lives, making the real bands wonder why they even got into music: "Can't you just leave it alone?
  It doesn't have any soul
  Just find a thing of your own
  And stop pretending to know
  " ; "Their whines and moans will never last now". Either way, it's a great song. I've always been a bit on the bitter side about the 'emo' trend and it's good to hear one of the few post-90s bands voicing their disgust for it as well.
• Mike from St. George, UtI believe the song sons of plunder is a rip on pop music and pop bands, how their music continually stays the same and never changes and how they all pretty much copy one another.
• Bobby from Saskatoon, Canadai disagree with both of those comments...i believe that it is david draiman singing about emo music. it sound all the same, and they dont even really care about their music. "all the pimping sons of plunder, will roll up their sleeves" this is referring to all these artists saying their not emo to make money, then going home just to cut their wrists like all those other emos out there. that is my opinion...sorry if i offended anybody.
• Jared from Superior, WiThe song more a scathing look at the all the governments and all the people who use ideals to get to power. They take the answers people are looking for and use them to get into power. Look at politicians, it is their job to be in power thats how they get paid. So they take an issue and say they are going to do this and that to improve the issue. And in the song David is saying the this is getting old. " You say you've found yourself a new sound
  The ****'s loaded and ready to go
  A bit too much just like the old sound
  Already heard it for the hundredth time
  One hundred more, all have the same sound
  Running around with all the sheep that you know
  "It's so sublime, they're breaking new ground"
  "They're sure to have another hit this time"
  Come on Can't you just leave it alone? It doesn't have any soul Just find a thing of your own
  And stop pretending to know"
