Disturbed - Forsaken

This song is among my favourites. A haunting melody and deep lyrics combine in this song and it leaves an impression.

Obviously, being from the Queen of the Damned soundtrack, the song is intended to be about vampires. However, it works for other things, as well.

"I'm over it, you see I'm falling in a vast abyss, clouded by memories of the past. At last, I see!" It could be from the point of view of someone deeply depressed. That person has been hiding their true self so long, working so hard to be what society expects of them, and then they finally find someone who understands and they can show their true self and start to heal.

A great performance by Disturbed and amazing lyrical talent from Jonathan Davis. I would also like to thank Richard Gibbs for that haunting melody he wrote.
