DISTURBED

- Innocence Lyrics

Who is innocent? No one is innocent
Who is innocent?
Who is innocent? No one is innocent
Who is innocent?

Who is innocent? Is it relevant in the world today?
I shake my head in disbelief
The killer walks again, freed by evil men in their dark charade
This can't be happening

A mother's selfish pride, her child's homicide, can she be to blame?
The suited vultures circling
A father's cruelty, a murdered family, is the world insane?
Their defenders ready to embrace their lies with their devious smiles

Your corruption is like a cancer growing inside
You owe the world an apology
You've been taught all your life that truth is easy to hide
You'll face your judgment another day and suffer eternally

Who is innocent? No one is innocent
Who is innocent?

Presumed innocent, justice fails again in the masquerade
A battered woman trembling
Her lover drunk again, when will the torture end in her web of shame?
Is death the only way?

A child victimized, the crime politicized for the counselor's gain
The rabid media congregates
His tortured memories, a pervert's fantasies, is the world insane?
The parasitic devastation seen on your TV screen

Your corruption is like a cancer growing inside
You owe the world an apology
You've been taught all your life that truth is easy to hide
You'll face your judgment another day and suffer eternally

False defender, burn forever
False defender, burn forever
Cold and spineless, have you no soul?
Wicked minded, out of control and guided
By their hunger they will find new ways to betray us

Your corruption is like a cancer growing inside
You owe the world an apology
You've been taught all your life that truth is easy to hide
You'll face your judgment another day and suffer eternally

Who is innocent? Is it relevant in the world today?
I shake my head in disbelief
Presumed innocent, justice fails again in the masquerade
Has the whole world become insane?

What is the meaning behind Innocence lyrics?


When we ask ourselves what the song was truly meant to express, the track 'Innocence' from Disturbed takes a closer look at the heart of the issue, which is the injustice and corruption in the society, and points out how people, whether they are victims or perps, have somehow caught up in the whole thing and are thus suffering. By means of metaphors, the lyrics create a visual world where innocence has been surrendered, justice is nowhere to be found, and corruption, like a deadly cancer, slowly but surely spreads to the heart of mankind, eventually resulting in a never-ending cycle of suffering and disbelief in the power of good that has already retreated in the midst of the great moral decay. Innocence lyrics express mainly angst, despair, anger, social commentary and reflection. Simultaneously, the song emphasizes the ideas of corruption and injustice, victimization and suffering, and moral accountability. The lyrics depict mature themes, like violence, crime, and societal issues, which may not be appropriate for kids under 13. The mentions of murder, brutality, and the consequences of corruption imply such a high level of intensity that it should be accompanied by parental advisory.

I guess thats what someone gets for taking the scripture to hell to find the last patch after being promissed by the angels that he could return to heavin.Risking his life to save you all.Only to be told he cant return that everyboby wants him to burn.

That besides the justice system being so corrupt... its also people who are corrupt. That you cannot trust anyone. That's my interpretation

Hey kit-kat, one of my best bands too, but was a little disappointed at their live performance. They played Burswood Dome in Perth in April and the acoustics were terrible. Hope you are luckier!
