Even though this song is about being angry with God, it still feels very faith-based as mankind is supposed to suffer as Christ did if you choose to follow him. And asking for more is, in a way, my interpretation of wanting to be closer to God and His glory. Like you're fearless and ready to face the trials and tribulations of your life and know God is with you.
Songs about character and the philosophy of pain have a special place in my heart. Appreciate this more having lived on the streets. These days we have more money but is that really who we are?
Another dream that will never come true Just to compliment your sorrow Another life that I've taken from you A gift to add on to your pain and suffering Another truth you can never believe Has crippled you completely All the cries you're beginning to hear Trapped in your mind, and the sound is deafening Let me enlighten you This is the way I pray Living just isn't hard enough Burn me alive, inside Living my life's not hard enough Take everything away Another nightmare about to come true Will manifest tomorrow Another love that I've taken from you Lost in time, on the edge of suffering Another taste of the evil I breed Will level you completely Bring to life everything that you fear Live in the dark, and the world is threatening Let me enlighten you This is the way i pray Living just isn't hard enough Burn me alive, inside Living my life's not hard enough Take everything away Return to me Leave me no one Turn to me Return to me Cast aside You've made me turn away Living just isn't hard enough Burn me alive, inside Living my life's not hard enough Take everything away
As a kid who grew up in hardcore southern Pentecostalism, I can really relate when he sings, “Another truth you could never believe has crippled you completely.”
I feel this,my family are some moderately strict Christians and the one thing they refuse to accept is that I'm a nonbeliever."Trapped in your mind and the sound is deafening" really kicks me back to being a teen and not being able to even voice my belief as a possibility.
As one of the prodigals that decided to be a wannabe that got to be, I can assure you what you say is true. When it’s real to you, when you actually try to believe it and live it, the life we live takes on a whole new dimension and changes the way we see it all.
“This is the way I pray, living just isn’t hot enough, burn me a light inside…living my life’s not hard enough, take everything away….”. When you find that place spiritually where God answers, and He will, you are never the same.
I used to be obsessed with disturbed when I was a kid and abandoned nu-metal almost entirely when I got older, but every now and then I'll re-listen to tracks I used to spin all the time years ago and I must say, this song never let's me down! Such a good chorus
Depends on how some see it. Like all good songs, poetry is for the listener. Some take it to mean that life isn't hard enough and that they can take more and say to bring it on, or like me, they take the chorus to mean that life despite being so damn hard already, it loves to just finish you the fuck off and beat you while your down.
There is no god but GOD Almighty The LORD of Hosts. The One, True GOD of Christians, Jews, Muslims and all men . That, and also Disturbed puts out such awesome sauce tunes just gets Me all fired up. Hooah and Hallelujah ADONAI ELOHEINU ADONAI Ehad!!🙏
My mother passed away 😢 9 months ago from a sudden brain aneurism, she put me in drum lessons at the age of six, I play to this song in remembrance of her!
It's amazing that this song STILL hasn't got old despite how often it was played at the time and all the times I've heard it since then. The breakdown is especially awesome.
I remember 16 years ago, I was sitting in 7th grade and this girl sitting next to me wedged an earbud into my ear and this song was on. Never had heard Disturbed's music before that. To this day, of all their albums, Believe is still my favorite.
All the albums later this is STILL my favorite Disturbed song ever. Such an excellent crafted beauty. It transitions so well and puts my soul on a roller coaster.
Let me guess, you're older than 30? I was 15 when down with the sickness dropped, beast of an album. Then the Simon and Garfunkel cover... wtf?!!? They need to hang out with that Nita Strauss woman and get back to their roots.
@@cindytaylor759 I actually have a playstation 2 because PS4 isn't backwards compatible and the whole memory-lane thing. Reminds me of a simpler time...
Always love songs like this, that play on words. Basically saying, As if life wasn't hard enough already, they gotta take everything away too. So so burn me inside. GREAT SONG
I remember moving to NC from the Northeast, so homesick, so miserable - I heard this on the radio when it was new and it assisted me in getting motivated...and I returned home in a year.
First concert I ever went to. Excellent choice I know lol. Nah but fr. They were AWESOME and it was super cool to hear him actually hit those notes. Unlike most "musicians" today.
Another dream that will never come true Just to compliment your sorrow Another life that I've taken from you A gift to add on to your pain and suffering Another truth you can never believe Has crippled you completely All the cries you're beginning to hear Trapped in your mind, and the sound is deafening Let me enlighten you This is the way I pray [Chorus:] Living just isn't hard enough Burn me alive, inside Living my life's not hard enough Take everything away Another nightmare about to come true Will manifest tomorrow Another love that I've taken from you Lost in time, on the edge of suffering Another taste of the evil I breed Will level you completely Bring to life everything that you fear Live in the dark, and the world is threatening Let me enlighten you This is the way i pray [Chorus] Return to me, return to me, return to me, turn to me, leave me no one Turn to me, return to me, return to me, turn to me, cast aside Return to me, return to me, return to me, turn to me, leave me no one Turn to me, return to me, return to me, you've made me turn away [Chorus Variant:] Living just isn't hard enough Burn me alive, inside Living my life's not hard enough, They take everything from you [Chorus]
Religions aside the message this song to me is saying is that everyone has the ability to pray, for whatever reason to make sense of being human and life around us. And to reflect on this process as important to not loose yourself.
Heard it was about suffering in our lives that seems to be random or even cursed upon people. Sounds like he is kinda be sarcastic about how living is not hard enough... Burn me alive inside! Living my lifes not hard enough. Take everything from you. I wonder if its acceptance of the fact lifes a bitch or if he's really kinda being cynical or smart ass
This song brings out my beast mode. When life sucks, at absolute rock bottom, crank this shit up. Embrace the "sickness", the anger, the madness. Grab life by the balls, and become the unstoppable force you were meant to be. Keep moving forward, no matter what.👊😎🤘
Ryan Hatch Except Disturbed are Jews working for a Jewish record / media industry filling youth with bullshit leftist propaganda. I like them, but know the truth too.
So sorry to hear, Lori.. Hugs to you for sure.. This is one of my favorite songs by them. R I P to your mom.. I can relate. 💞 Just keep on rocking with her as I do with my mom. ❤ you Mom. Youre the best..
I just discovered this band, (I know, what rock have I been fuck’n under?) what’re the major differences between their new and old stuff? What albums do you recommend? (Edit: what are your favorite songs; also, what other bands would you suggest??)
This song motivates me to study. When I'm feeling defeated and sorry for myself after working my 8-5 I hear the lyrics 'Living just isn't hard enough burn me alive inside'. And I'm like fuck yeah bring it on, I'm gonna put in 12 hour days, 14 hour days. I doubt that is the intent of the song but it has been really helpful for me
I died when i was 22, i had a profound NDE, i know there is one god of all religion, the beings if light told me belief is everything, I just noticed this and my heart is pounding....
Now here's a song I can listen to without being judged. David I am so glad you wrote this song you have taught me a valuable lesson it doesn't matter what religion it only matters that you love the music you listen to and that life is not hard enough with everything that is going on with the world.
I'm a christian and I love Disturbed.. People want to say we "Christians" are weak but it's the complete opposite!! We are the strong. We have to endure being ridiculed EVERYDAY. That's why this song means so much to me... Almost every song they have has spiritual meaning in it.. Just "My Personal opinion".......
My moms favorite band... and after she has passed away I now listen to them in her remembrance
Gecondoleerd 😇
That's awesome brother. God bless ya
That's beautiful
You're mother has excellent taste in music.
My mom would never listen to this shit. She was more into Pink Floyd, Queen and U2

Another dream that will never come true
Just to compliment your sorrow
Another life that I've taken from you
A gift to add on to your pain and suffering
Another truth you can never believe
Has crippled you completely
All the cries you're beginning to hear
Trapped in your mind, and the sound is deafening
Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive, inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
Another nightmare about to come true
Will manifest tomorrow
Another love that I've taken from you
Lost in time, on the edge of suffering
Another taste of the evil I breed
Will level you completely
Bring to life everything that you fear
Live in the dark, and the world is threatening
Let me enlighten you
This is the way i pray
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive, inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
Return to me
Leave me no one
Turn to me
Return to me
Cast aside
You've made me turn away
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive, inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
You left out “they take everything from you” line

Deep south, same thing. I wanted to burn churches as a teenager. I'm older and wiser now 😂
Weird way to interpret an album that is based on the biblical book of Job.
The chorus is one of my favorite of all time.
Mine too
I used to be obsessed with disturbed when I was a kid and abandoned nu-metal almost entirely when I got older, but every now and then I'll re-listen to tracks I used to spin all the time years ago and I must say, this song never let's me down! Such a good chorus
It also becomes relatable if you ever hit a private lottery or inheritance.
Forgot how great this song and album are. These songs take on a new meaning 17 years later. Living just isn’t hard enough...

One of my favorite bands to see in concert .. I air drummed the entire performance. Mike even shook my hand afterwards . Phenomenal performance.
I always do air guitar.
Losing a loved one is one of the hardest things in life
When the singularity happens, I have faith that we will see them again after a ressurection.
Endure to become easy
The best way is to learn(reading)
is experience,
Capable-ok
It's easier to have them die, than divorce you
I listened to this after I lost my mom every day lol

I really dont think this kinda music will ever get old. Its going down as a classic for me lol

Rip 🙏
This was my first Disturbed cd I brought back in the day. What a BAND & what a message
My favorite Disturbed song , PERIOD.
Even after years of listening, still one of the best hard rock albums out there!
So true
I always thought he said "Heaven just isn't hot enough, burn me alive inside" lol. love this song!
I always thought it was “Heaven just isn’t high enough”
Same😭
Listening to "Prayer" gives oneself the feeling of being reborn.
The chorus gives you goosebumps
Great album, brings so many college memories 🔥
So many memories with disturbed
Always love songs like this, that play on words.
Basically saying,
As if life wasn't hard enough already, they gotta take everything away too.
So so burn me inside.
GREAT SONG
Came up with that yourself did ya?
^a hole ^
After 17 years this is still my favorite song
Music is really a time stamp for our lives
The Sickness got me into Disturbed, but this album made me a believer.
I remember moving to NC from the Northeast, so homesick, so miserable - I heard this on the radio when it was new and it assisted me in getting motivated...and I returned home in a year.

They really improved the lyrics on this album. Great song
it doesn't matter what religion we believe.. Great music without abominating our different beliefs is great music

Yeah but the best religion is Petruccism.
