Submitted by sweettempations on Sun, 08/24/2008 - 8:03am.

I can in some terms relate as my mother temped to commit suicide once and she didn't succeed. She blamed it on me as I wasn't living at home.. When I was younger I couldn't stop how to end my life back then .. plenty times thought about it and well didn't have much nerve to do it. More or less it came down to how many people it would affect. All we have is past memories that haunt us do we move on or harbor them so we don't move on ???? As for me I have to much to live for now all i have in me is to fight for what is right. I live because of my kids ... long story to that .. Nobody ever said live was ever gonna be easy.. It only comes down to what you make it ...

Poor David. I had no idea what this song was really about until I saw this video.............I feel so sorry for him. My uncle commited suicide back before I was born. This video really got me thinking. I'm so grateful I wasn't around when that happened. I don't think I would've been able to handle it. Still though, I love this song and can't stop listening to it! I'm like addicted to it. Disturbed is frickin awesome!!!!

This song is the shit!

Holy Cow...

Disturbed has done it again!

The video is great, although I feel really bad for Dave, having to revisit his past.

The song is a firebomb, that explodes from the very beginning, and wraps you within it till the very end.

His wicked laugh is insatiable, and down-right maniacal, but a great beginning to the song.

I saw the guys perform at the Rockstar Meyhem Fest Tour in Tinley Park, IL and they practically blew the roof off of the place.

All I have to say is this.....

With 4 chart topping albums and kick-ass videos, DISTURBED has solidified themselves as Alternative Metals greatest success.

This video touched my soul!

Submitted by Poobah on Tue, 07/29/2008 - 4:11am.

I watched it and sobbed like a little girl! Afterward, all I wanted was to put my arms around David and comfort him. I could feel his pain, despair and devastation. It is hard enough to lose a loved one to death (I lost my mother years ago. I watched her die in agony), especially to suicide. I can't get over the intensity of this video. I believe it is just the kind of video that should be shown everywhere, especially to teens and young adults who are so susceptible to give in to suicide. This video should be in the classrooms!

I don't know how David managed to shoot this video. It must have been devastating! His pain and devastation at finding his girlfriend hanging are so powerful! He voices the pain and devastation of the effect of suicide on families and other loved ones. I find it impossible to contemplate suicide after watching this video. I could never put my son through such horror. And, believe me, the idea had crossed my mind quite often in these past few years. We all have our traumas and demons to deal with and, I am certainly no exception. I've had more than a fair share of them since childhood. Perhaps, that's why I have felt such a strong spiritual connection with this group, especially David. His voice, the passion and anger in his voice reflect my own.

To the other fans that have posted here and shared their own struggle with the idea of suicide, I trust that after watching this video, you have come to the same conclusion: Better to prove those who put you down wrong and pour your energy into constructive endeavors rather than give them the satisfaction to see you end your life, this includes fighting the demons inside inciting you to do it. No one knows what happens to us once we leave this world but we have given a great gift: life! The outcome of our lives is determined by the choices we make; suicide is not an option. You are much stronger than you give yourselves credit for and, you have the power inside to defeat your demons. Don't be a real loser, don't give in. I can assure you that as you journey through this life, you'll become stronger and will conquer hurdles you never imagined you could. Take it from me, I've been through just about it all in my life from child abuse, parental neglect and rejection, broken heart, losing loved ones, surviving a civil war/dictatorship, homelessness, to domestic violence. Through all the tears and sorrows, despite the anguish and pain, I've grown "Indestructible" and can shout to the world, I win because "I'm Alive". Like the poem I wrote to my son while we were at a DV shelter, A Path To Happiness, I say to you,

Hear the call
in your heart.

Follow the way
your spirit leads you.

Don't give in
to the ways of the world . . .

Be true to yourself
even when others around you
Don't understand or approve.

Recognize and use your talents wisely.

Don't misuse your uniqueness or,
waste your special gifts.

You are not less important
than anyone else in this world is.

Everyone has a unique part to play.

You are special.

Your part is vital in the scheme of life.

Always remember that
whatever you do, good or bad,
will certainly
come back to you
a thousand fold.

Do what you know in your heart
to be right,
understanding
that you are an irreplaceable
link
in the big chain of events.

Discover the purpose
behind the situations
and events in your life,

Your role, your lessons . . .

Everything,
whether it brings you
joy or sorrow,
is an opportunity
for your growth.

Learn to discover how
everything in your life
is linked
in the scheme of things.

Realize that
we are all part of
The Whole.

Appreciate the big picture
to which your life belongs.

Believe in yourself and God,
whatever your concept of
Him might be.

He will provide you with
the inner strength and means
to accomplish your goals and
to overcome
the challenges along your path.

You must follow
the call within you or,
you will never
find peace and happiness
in this life.

Only then,
you will be able to spread
your wings and fly,

Truly free to meet your destiny . . .

Submitted by rome542 on Tue, 07/22/2008 - 5:26pm.

It's a very tough to deal with ,suicide, I just went through a situation like this, but it was my dad, he od'ed on a bunch of pain killers and shit but I was able to get to him before it was too late and saved his life. I just want to say that thanks for the great music, keep rockin, and your band has helped me on the path to becoming INDESTRUCTIBLE!!!

lucky

Submitted by devour_the_darkness on Sat, 08/16/2008 - 9:21am.

you got lucky. 11 months ago, my best friend OD'ed on a bunch of pain killers, too. but she left school to go home and do it, and her mom was at work. she did it on purpose, and it's sad because she did it 2 months before her 16th birthday. she had no idea how much she meant to everyone, and she was 2nd in our class because she was a genius. almost the entire sophomore class showed up to her funeral, and all of her teachers did. i saw this video last march or so, and i started bawling because it hit me so hard. this is exactly how i felt when she committed suicide. i also had an experience when i was 4 with my dad. i dont remember it that much, but its still sad thinking that your own dad hated his life enough that he took it away. but i understand exactly where David is coming from!!! there's no way that i could make a song about what happened to my friend... that takes true dedication to your music, Dave.

Painfull reality

Submitted by xanxor on Tue, 07/01/2008 - 10:58pm.

This song represents my life sadly. As of the past year..? I've so desperately wanted to end my life beacuse of how my ex-girlfreind left me. but I cant becuase I to dont want to betray our God. Despite how much I ask for help I am being condemdemnd. I say I cant take it but obviously I can as I'm alive right now, I would tell somone but I fear being rebuked. Though still He seems so determined to widle me down to where I will have to make a decive choise between abandoning what I know or sticking with it despite how hurt I am. This really brought me to terms with how life works i guess... another weird tudbiy of this is I'm just turned 15.

Inside the fire

Submitted by Colector606 on Mon, 06/23/2008 - 2:01pm.

The song is very good but in my opinion there is something I don't understand. It was said that the devil was spaking with you and saying: "It is beyond your control / Will you ever meet again?" but after that the devil changes his mind and says: "Give your soul to me, /For eternity /Release your life,/ To begin another time with her /End your grief with me, /There's another way, /Release your life, /Take your place inside the fire with her"
Except this tiny problem the song is realy great!

indestructible/inside the fire

Submitted by sscott9 on Sat, 06/14/2008 - 10:16am.

i have read a lot of the postings about the cd and the video.some people say the disc is the greatest thing they have ever heard, while others believe that it totally sucks. personal preference is a bitch to understand. one persons opinion does not negate the validity of anothers. the true worth of a band is not how you or i see/hear them. it is how they see themselves. if someone thinks the band is a joke it will not upset the band. if the band thinks they themselves are a joke then they must decide what course lies ahead. i do not see that happening with disturbed. they believe that they have something to say musically, lyrically and visually.when a band can tie all those things together the fans are rewarded with the "inside the fire" video.
so enjoy the disc at a basic primal level and at the same time try to enjoy it at a more cerebral level as well.
thank you

Suicide and this video's relations

Submitted by snowboyak on Tue, 06/10/2008 - 9:50am.

Ok. As you all know, this video is based on suicide. As the video depicts his characters girlfriend hanging herself, it is actually based on a true event that happened to him(David Draiman). Back in high school, he had a girlfriend that was older than him as she was in college, he just starting high school. She was an heroin addict, took the wrong path, and committed suicide, which is now a common problem in everyday life. He made this song and video in memory of his ex-girlfriends life.

His girlfriend that the song was based on, died of a herion overdose. It sounds like a real sad story. It was like his family, didn't approve of her and he broke up with her. This is on Wikipedia, under David Draiman. Look at Wikipedia to find out stats on the new CD, also.
