Disturbed - The Light [Official Lyric Video] 

As a U.S. Army Veteran (who suffers from PTSD), when I first heard this song a couple of years ago, I couldn't even begin to express in words how much this song touched me to my very core. I've shared this song with some of my closest friends, who have been suffering from PTSD due to active duty military service as well. This truly does bring a sense of comfort and peace during those unfortunate, unsettling, moments that PTSD can bring on. Thank you, for such an inspiring song.

I'm 63 and lost my wife of 27 years to cancer almost one year ago.This song and "Hold on to Memories" are my go to when I need a good cry. Thank you. Be well...and rock on!

This song literally saved me today...helped me feel like myself again after battling 2 years of depression after losing my first child...I stand behind music saving a soul. Never give up!

Back here in 2024 after deciding to finally be sober. Thank you guys.

I feel like this is an uplifting song. If you look at humanity as a world our greatest moments have been when we have been beaten down. The human spirit survives in the darkness of slavery, brutality, and everything that is thrown at us because we hold onto that light, that hope, that faith that burns inside us all.

Dave brings so much positivity to the world. I wish my mom and dad understood their messages. They see this as noise. It’s beautiful. Listen to the words. It’s about uplifting your spirits.

Currently going through very depressing times. came to hear this song. anyone else?

This song saved my life. Never underestimate the power of music. Thank you for you music.

Just don't stop guys.. We are here (2022) listening your songs on repeat.. In our hardest time, in our struggle, in our failure.. This song provide the best response to ourselves.. A correct mindset when we're loosing it.. (Fan since 2017) Dropping this comment in hope that someone in future will like and that will remind me this amazing song...

Currently going through some really heavy shit right now, this song couldn't have come up at a better time. Thank you Disturbed for everything.

I never in my life expected to hear an uplifting metal song.

HOLY CRAP. I just realized that I'm only just beginning my own path to recovery from some really rocky high school years some 10 years ago... This song has never felt more relevant.

This is pure genius. The guy that wrote this lyrics is a goddamn genius.

This song has so much truth in its lines. Since my childhood, which was characterized by violence and abuse, I have been going through a very difficult time. I have suffered so many losses, suffer from depression myself, PTSD and borderline and an emotionally unstable personality disorder. But today, at the age of 34, I have achieved so many things that would have been completely impossible for me back then. I have a permanent job, an apartment, a network of helpers and incredibly great friends who have my back and always help me get back on my feet. In my head I keep going through hell when the inner darkness threatens to engulf me but songs like this make me realize that at the end of the darkness there is light again and I can't give up, it makes me realize how far I've come have already done and that there is still so much strength in me because I still long for stability and a life in which I can smile sincerely and help people who are similar to me. Thank you Disturbed for your many songs that always give me strength in dark times.

It's always the darkness that can show us the light. It's the light that blinds us all the time.

Like an unsung melody The truth is waiting there for you to find it It's not a blight, but a remedy A clear reminder of how it began Deep inside your memory Turned away as you struggled to find it You heard the call as you walked away A voice of calm from within the silence And for what seemed an eternity You're waiting, hoping it would call out again You heard the shadow reckoning Then your fears seemed to keep you blinded You held your guard as you walked away When you think all is forsaken Listen to me now (all is not forsaken) You need never feel broken again Sometimes darkness can show you the light An unforgivable tragedy The answer isn't' where you think you'd find it Prepare yourself for the reckoning For when your world seems to crumble again Don't be afraid, don't turn away You're the one who can redefine it Don't let hope become a memory Let the shadow permeate your mind and Reveal the thoughts that were tucked away So that the door can be opened again Within your darkest memories Lies the answer if you dare to find it Don't let hope become a memory When you think all is forsaken Listen to me now (all is not forsaken) You need never feel broken again Sometimes darkness can show you the light, beautiful Sickening, weakening Don't let another somber pariah consume your soul You need strengthening, toughening It takes an inner dark to rekindle the fire burning in you Ignite the fire within you When you think all is forsaken Listen to me now (all is not forsaken) You need never feel broken again Sometimes darkness can show you the light Don't ignore, listen to me now (all is not forsaken) You need never feel broken again Sometimes darkness Can show you the light

Really moving. Disturbed help me find The Light. I was in sixth grade, and I was like super depressed because of my cat dying and bullying and social issues and stress and grades. I cried for five days straight, and when I listened to Disturbed, it made it all wash away which I'm SUPER grateful for. I'm doing much better at a new school, with friends, teachers who understand my problems, and medication. This song basically says to me, "Don't give up, it just wants you find it." I want to share that. Please don't give up, you have a lot of life ahead of you! Spend time with your friends! Family! Everyone!

I am a 63 year old grandmother of 5, and although I grew up during the best music era ever I was never a metal fan but this song is the best I've heard in years.

I know yall are probably not gonna see this, but thank you. I need to hear this. I started thinking about the lyrics. and it made me realize that im not alone, and than I have people to help me. I am going to survive this, no matter what happens, I will come out on top. Thank you disturbed, I dont know if I will ever find a way to pay you back, but I owe you one Edit: I did it, I fucking did it, I came out of it. All those cold sleepless nights are finally over, I can't thank you guys enough. To anyone else who is going through something: Just keep going, you will make it out. You are stronger than you think, if my dumbass can beat it then so can you, I know you can. Im proud of you, I really am. Its not easy to get through, and yet here you are, still standing. Keep going, you're gonna make it.

The timing of when this song came into my life is absolutely mind blowing. I have been debating whether to become an EMT or not for months. 14 DEC 2015 was a night that changed my life. Traumatizing to say the least. I was lying in bed when I heard an accident out front of my house. I got dressed as quickly as possible to go help. What I came upon was heart wrenching. Long story short. A young man hit a woman and her kid head on. The kid didn't make it, we did the best we could to keep him alive to no avail. He died on scene. This moment has made me question if I received EMT training would the outcome be different? Would a young mother still have her young child to love? It ate at my soul to see this I love children, they are the treasure of life. However it has made me decide I will become an EMT and I WILL FOREVER do my best to try to prevent another tragedy like this on my watch. THIS SONG HAS HELPED ME OVERCOME THE TRAUMA AND GRIEF! THANK YOU DISTURBED!!

You never feel broken again, somtimes darkness can show you the light. I have no idea if the band members read these comments, but thank you. I have been broken for a long time. Depression has me fighting for my life daily and these words now help make it easier to win.

Never in a million years would I have ever thought that Disturbed would put out something that really hits home with me the way this song does. Bravo!

This song helped me through 2015-2016. My girlfriend dumped me to be a lesbian, my friends deserted me instead of being there to comfort me, and I also got kicked out of my band. I had a hard time, but this song helped me get through it all.

Lost a husband with suicide after 27 years of being together d/t suicide... lost the absolute love of my life to my 2 husband r/t cancer... absolutely freaking heartbroken.. my 2nd husband showed me what true love was really about.. I miss him dearly.. have PTSD from both... hard to explain..but this son brings things to light, truly.. thank you!!

this song is like one of the most motivational songs disturbed has ever written.

This is by far the deepest, most uplifting metal song ever.

I've loved Disturbed since I was in my early teens, and never stopped. This song crossed my spotify playlist today, and with the current state of the world with Corvid-19 running rampant just hearing this song gave me some more well needed hope that everyone affected by this horrible virus remains safe and well taken care of if the worst is to occur. I love everyone on the fact that we are all human beings, and I hope that every single one of you that even gives this comment a passing glance are well, that your family and friends are well, and that your spirits still remain strong in this darkest of times.

Dude, i served in the belgium army, ranks are not importantend, in the Balkan (former ex-yougoslavia) and Kosovo. Since i have become a police-officer in belgium (for about 20 years) , even i had the diagnose of PTSD after many years of struggeling, due to events in the past and the present. We need to live with it !!! I love the song !!!! I wish you all the best John Herbst.

As soon as David became a father, he became mature... Old disturbed - ''I'm dropping plates to your ass'' Now - ''Sometimes the darkness, can show you the light''

Even for this being just a lyric video, the visuals in it looked great.

seeing them perform this live nearly brought me to tears

My boyfriend died this year on March. Was the covid critical month in Brazil, I was supposed to go with him. We we're planning to marry in November. This song was the last one he showed me and atm, is one of my most powerfull help when I cry for him. Thx for the kind words, makes me create the strenght and corage to don't give up.

Heard this song for the first time today! 😮 Mind blown! Lost my parents in the space of 15 days apart. Just a little over a month ago. Can't seem to deal with it well. Then to add insult to injury, my only sibling - sis - is bad mouthing me with family members. I was destroyed!! But, I no longer question it all. This song is the epitome of how to live moving forward. I feel as if God has revealed the answer to me... Thank you!

My son and this song saved my life in 2019. Thank you

I heard this for the first time in concert and I cried like a lost child it's so powerful.

Listening to this for the first time in years after watching the video of that poor girl who lost her friend Mark. Hits just like it used to. Here's to all those we've lost

This song is one of the best symbols of life. Through all this darkness and all this suffering. One day you will see the light and finally be at peace.

I relapsed with drugs recently and I felt horrible about it as I was on my way home from where I was doing them, and as I was driving this song came on the radio and it gave me hope to get back on my feet instead of plummeting deeper into drugs out of the guilt that I felt.. Thank God for this song.. I might be using drugs today if this song hadn't come on that night..

I'm proud to be a Pre-Service Firefighter, and see your shows live every chance I get. Since my adolescence up until now you have helped me through various emotions, and obstacles in life. To those who feel they're in a dark place, don't go hiding on me now. Just remember that no matter how DARK that place is there is always a LIGHT at the end I assure you. Going forth to save lives.

This song touch my soul....you know how much people out there feel like things will never get better? This is song is perfect for those tryna find that light. WE ARE DISTURBED!

I'm openly LGBT, and some people insult and hate me for it. There are very few heavy metal songs that cheer me up whenever I feel down. This is one of them, it's just such an amazing part of Disturbed. Thank you for your amazing voice, Draiman.

Most bands get worse over time, but damn, Disturbed has stayed amazing through their whole career.

Trying to survive the heart surgery I got done with I'm fight for my life I have fluid in my lungs and this song makes me want to fight thank you for helping me fight.... loved u guys as a kid 🥺🤕

I have been going through some serious obstacles for the last year and this song is what keeps me from completely losing it. Thank you Disturbed. You are keeping me going.

Disturbed? Badass visuals? Subscribed as fuck.

This song has helped me get through something I wish nobody ever had to go through. Every single word struck me. I've never been touched by a song so much.

"Don't let hope become a memory" hit me hard. As I listened I was inspired but not emotional until that line overwhelmed me. The pandemic, health issues, a covid-era divorce after over a decade together, economic frustrations etc. have left me in exactly that state--where hope for a couple years now has just been a memory. My optimism and positive naivety that I always had throughout my life have been crushed. Maybe recognizing this can help start the healing.

One of the best songs Disturbed ever put out even in your darkest moments you can find something good and positive

I’ve had one very heavy past two years. Tragedy after tragedy after disappointment (many times in myself) but so much beyond my control. I’m starting to see the light again but this SONG...it’s become my personal anthem. I can’t listen to it with a dry eye. The essence of the lyrics are chillingly accurate and the timing is no less miraculous in my life. At this time. On this day. It lifts my spirit where I used to be and I don’t intend on going anywhere else but up. Wish I could thank them personally for what they’ve done. I am so blessed to have “stumbled” across it. Nothing is by accident. I was meant to hear it when I did and I am so grateful.

As a domestic violence survivor from a narcissist, and someone who suffers from NAPTSD, this song is my anthem. I can't begin to decribe how much it resonates with me in the deepest parts of my soul. Thank you!

Disturbed seems to encourage to do the work inside, instead of just swallowing bullshit. Gotta love them folks.

“Don’t let hope become a memory.” If that doesn’t strike a chord, I don’t know what does.

"Sometimes darkness can show you the light..." I'll always remember that whenever I'll go down rock bottom..

There's been some significant dark times over the past few years, where I've had this song on repeat, blasting my eardrums in the car, letting my tears flow. Thank you for this message ❤️

Immortalized has to be one of the two best albums they've ever made along with indestructible.

The one song that can calm me down when I'm super depressed... Thanks, Disturbed!

still hoping that david draiman does a music video of the sound of silence with him sitting on a wooden stool while the piano and acoustic guitar play the song

The message of this song can easily talk to everyone who has known the worse... Each word is deep inside me as if it was my own story, as if David would talk to me face to face... it's heartwarming 🤘🏻💜🙏

I just went through the most difficult 3 years of my life and I'm 42. The song is amazing by itself but these lyrics hit something else inside me. I just found the path out of my darkness and you're so right.. "sometimes darkness can show you the light!".

My dad loves disturbed , and I hear him listening to this song all the time , now I see why.

Glad this video came out. Around this time of year is when I feel depressed and unwanted, this song makes me feel better.

❤Anyone March 2024? ❤

this is my new logic on life: sometimes "darkness can show you the light"

forgive me ... I feel it again ... the pull to the light ...

This is such an underrated song. It only got a few weeks of radio play here.

This chorus saved me from depression almost 4 years ago. It felt like my father words teaching me how to perceive where to go when the darkest of times engulf us. Thank you.

"My Brothers, whatever things in life are pure, just and virtuous, think on these things." ~Philippians 4:8

I consider this song to be in honour of firefighters and other EMS workers, especially injured ones. "Sometimes darkness can show you The Light."

this song has actually forced me to face my ptsd, or at least the thing that caused it. i was at ozzfest this year and watched them play this song live. i will never get that imagine out of my head. seeing so many lighters and phones in the air. i didn't feel alone in that moment and i knew i found home. that people i never knew care more than i know. that i can't give up. maybe that good memory can be something i hold onto in times of darkness. maybe i can hold onto the light.

This song is such catharsis. In many ways it's been a terrible year for a lot of people, and at their London concert last Sunday the entire room was absolutely taken by this song (and all their others). The contrast of a few thousand people holding up a sea of lights above us and just SCREAMING the lyrics together as one delivered the perfect juxtaposition of harshness and hope. Much like the contrast between the melody of this song vs. the part at 2:47). Disturbed has gotten me through a decade of tough times in all shapes and forms, and I hope they know how much relief their music gives to the audience.

There's NO light at the end of the tunnel, there's NO tunnel at all! Be the light for yourself and dig your own way with your bare hands. Period.

Years ago the very first concert I went to which was also the very first huge thing I really did together with my other side of the family (my dad and sisters) was going the Disturbed Immortalized concert in Des Moines, Iowa on September 30th 2016. On January 1st 2023 my dad passed away and me and my sisters agreed on using lyrics to this song in the back of the obituary since it was the first real thing we all did together it meant a lot to us and was a fantastic memory so using this meaningful song on top of how meaningful and special going to the concert was together we thought it fit perfect. R.I.P Dad, gone to soon and I miss you so much.

698 people are just plain wrong.

thumbs up if you think disturbed is the best band in the world

That moment when you've felt like shit for years and you finally realize that you're just depressed...nailed it, Disturbed.

Not all light sources are good. Sometimes sources of power and strength comes from the dark places in our lives. Remember, before happiness can truly be understood, suffering must be experienced to stand as a contrast so that you know yourself and what truly makes you happy. Embrace what makes you suffer as a part of you and overcome it without losing what it taught you.

Such a powerful song.

this guy´s voice moves like an instrument on each chord, it´s like a velvet sound... impressive

A song that says "Don't ever give up, always think about hope and never lose faith, whenever there is darkness, there will always be light".

it doesn't matter what genre Disturbed falls into, they defined an era of those growing up in a changing world that could only be vented by music.

I’m just gonna listen one more time (3 hours later) “listen to me now (all’s not forsaken!)”

Been a Disturbed fan a long time. Just now found this song. Going through some tough times emotionally. Depression sucks!!! Disturbed always helps!

*Don't Let Hope Become A Memory* Damn, that's inspiration fuel.

Favorite quote from the whole song is "sometimes darkness can show you the light"

This album and this song in particular helped me get through the roughest year of my life. Thank you for being an inspiration and for sending a message of hope.

I call this "Feel Good Metal"

This song's definition to me means that the darkness ,(difficult childhood, tough year, sad times) can show you the light (a healthy relationship, good childhood, best/good times) and I happen to be going through a very rough senior year.

To me, this song is about how people push back hope and God. Trying to hide them somewhere and they hear it call out behind from behind them once as they leave but spite it. But after you reach a certain part of darkness you go running back to the memories and hope you used to have. Sometimes Darkness can show you the light.

They did it. They made an uplifting, beautiful, meaningful song, that shows how even the smallest glimmer of hope can save you from the darkest times in your life. I love this band

im going thru some dark times right now and this song helps me alot

Such a powerful song, I was lying in a hospital bed with cancer and played this over and over, the lyrics are so true, I am thankfully in remission now, love this song so much

The message in this song is so true! I went through a lot of different kinds of abuse growing up and I told people for years. My boyfriend at the time even called the cops and no one would believe me or him. I was on the verge of suicide when one day I heard a song from Aerosmith Janie's Got A Gun and it gave me the courage to take things into my own hands. No, I didn't shoot anyone but I packed up a backpack full of clothing and left home, never looking back. It's sad when a 16-year-old feels safer living on the streets than at home. I spent 3 yrs on the street until a stranger helped me get on my feet. That stranger ended up becoming the love of my life, my husband and we have been married for almost 30yrs now. He was and still is my light in the darkness.

My fav on the album is Never Wrong but I'm totally fine with this being a single.

"FOR AZEROTH! FOR THE LIGHT!" ... *swings Ashbringer into Pit Lord's face*

i have depression. when i listen to Disturbed's songs, i feel uplifted. Yo! Nothing can kill my vibe!

Wow, as someone who's dealt with depression and PTSD for most of my life. This song hits hard.

It's weird hearing such an uplifting song in a minor key.

“The human spirit is not defined by the wounds it’s suffers, but rather the greatness it’s able to achieve in spite of those wounds and faults.” Unknown

when we pray we go dark in that dark we find lights!

This song keeps me from doing something I will not be able to come back from. Disturbed has stopped me everytime
