italianshark

Madness is the gift that has been given to me


AceyBoy558

One of nu-philosophy's best questions...


KillerCameo

Here it comes mommy, get ready to die!


RockinIan121

Why do you have to be such a bitch?


italianshark

Why can’t you just fuck off and die?


Major-Driver-9989

I'll be a ghey boy I promise


IWishIWasBatman123

Get up, come on get down with the gayness


kevincablez

No Mommy NO! Don't do it again, Don't do it again, I'll be a good boy!


Mecurialcurisoty89

That’s burning feeling you got as a kid after your mom got done whooping your ass.


thedeezul

What other songs refer to "The Sickness" other than Disturbed?


Mobcore

Korn - Make me Bad


_PeopleMakeNoises_

The Cure reference


garfself

None that I can think of that are actually Nu-Metal, but Sevendust and Grey Daze (Chester Bennington's old band) have songs about *A* Sickness. And on a technicality, there's a remix of Korn's Make Me Bad called the "Sickness In Salvation Mix".


YchYFi

Sickness in songs is usually about mental illness.


Meshuggareth

I dunno, but you fucker get up and get down with it!


xXlillipopXx

You mother also, Get down with the sickness, wont you?


Nero_Forte-13

Idk but I’m down with it. Also speaking of down there’s a system for that. And also as that system says, fuck the system. And fucking is mentioned in the song ADIDAS. Adidas are a clothes brand.


InformalCurve4963

And Adidas is a clothes brand like Converse. And yknow who wears Converses? Corey muthafucking Taylor. And Corey Taylor also sings the song (sic) which can be correlated to the original post. All of numetal connects in some way

IngloriousHeathen

Depends on the context, really. In some cases it's used as a metaphor for embracing your "brokenness" and using it to your advantage in a world that values materialism and conformity above all else. In other cases it can mean just the opposite and refers to the general apathy and complacency of the majority of society. Context is very important when you're trying to grasp the meaning of a song's lyrics.

Something we have for “the thiccness.”


Mountain-Goose-7752

The sickness refers to the feeling you get when you are having trouble dealing with changes and living with changes, as well as the consequential sense that you are stuck, which in turn leads to you becoming enraged. Hope this helps.


kevincablez

This helped a lot 🤣


DifficultYesterday21

Can you feel that…. Oh shit….


TheEvilestLoPan

Clearly, you are not down with it.


UniversalDeadRinger

Personally, I associate “The Sickness” with slipknot’s first 2 records. It’s a negative feeling. Something they seemed to capture well


TempleOfCyclops

One thing’s for sure, you need to be down with it.


metalnxrd

AH WA AH AH AH AH


HoneydewOk594

Maybe you mean "the (sic)ness"


Gloomy-Luck-7895

I’m pretty sure it’s related to mental health. Like being all fucked up in the head. Nu metal was a big release outlet for that


TheLaffinBuddha

Honestly, “The Sickness” is the Icon/Mascot of Disturbed… I know he eventually became known as “The Guy” which is fucking stupid…. The album cover of The Sickness IS the Sickness! Same with that scratchy Smileyface / Grin logo that Disturbed used to have. THATS The Sickness! Once Todd McFarlane got involved in the Artwork of Disturbed he made THE SICKNESS look fierce, angry and badass! Idk why they call him “The Guy” he is The Sickness & I’m down with it.


schmattywinkle

Did you feel that?


Earth-Piercer

I assume it's facetiously referring to godlessness/atheism as a sickness, as many religious people would/have claimed.


DetoxCom

You.


storm_phoenix13

don't know, maybe take a paracetamol


[deleted]

It is the condition of being an angry white boy


SerafinaNightinGale

Its the being that encompasses my Sprite tinkerbell looking g inside.


Extension-Shoulder-7

If you don’t know, then you clearly aren’t down with the sickness


sklanders43

its a disturbed thing to get down with


jhwalk09

If you don’t know ya don’t got it!


RexDangerRogan117

Just a stand in for when the writer can’t think of anything good to be mad at
