Disturbed: Dehumanized Meaning

Dehumanized Lyrics

Lost in slumber
A threat to no one
Weak and humbled
To my disgrace
Sweet departure
Is what I long for
Careless moments
To comfort me

Ooo dead philosophy

If I offer you my soul
Will you carry me away
I cannot be the only one
To be...

   To me, it reads like two things. The first is the certain type of paranoia ("you're never gonna find me") that leads people into a life of solitude, and the inevitable struggles with loneliness ("no beloved to comfort me") and depression ("heart of silence, softly breaking") that that invites. The other is actual contemplation of suicide as the ultimate way out, which is pretty explicitly and unambiguously stated with, "sweet departure is what I long for" ("departure" is a common euphemism for death).
   
   The interesting thing is the bridge in the refrain, "If I offer you my soul, will you carry me away? I cannot be the only one to be dehumanized again". Taken with "careless moments to comfort me" it could be suggestive of a subconscious desire to get better and connect with people, but it could also be read as reinforcing the contemplating suicide angle. It seems to have been pretty thoughtfully constructed, no matter how you slice it.

   I think this song is about someone who has had enough of the world and its deception, and wants to go the Jehova

   This song is, as says David Draiman, about the "cold, callous nature of the world." He's talking about humanity's evil nature, and that the singer is asking god to carry him away, how he doesn't want to be dehumanized again.

   This song means, the person is asking if I offer you "God" my soul will you take it to heaven.

   It seems that this song is about someone dying and asking God to take his soul up to heaven.
