Within Temptation - Destroyed (lyrics)

[justanotherreaper]

used to listen this at the end of the day when i was working ,so that song represents salvation for me.good times.

[wafflecakepans]

EXCUSE ME SIR, I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER HOW AWESOME THIS SONG IS

[Sasuke3303]

Strangely, right now I feel like this song is from the animals for the humans... maybe because I have been thinking about this topic a lot lately... and I can so understand it.

[Vicks007kid]

@Sasuke3303

Whenever I listen to songs from WT I hear a scream in my head of a girl, and the hair on my arms rises and gets all tense. It's weird/.

[MrsINSIGHT1]

WT can't write a bad song... it's just the way it's meant to be!! :X:X

[Wolfheart247]

This song basically is myself to myself.

[THEtwerp187]

I have been looking for this song for years...

[MeesIss]

Within Temptation has the art to sing my life. Just listen to Lost, then The Last Time, and finally Destroyed, you'll know what I've felt the passed year.

[NecroseWoW]

Thats a song how I feel :( Destroyed

[TheMostHappy1533]

One of my favorites by WT....so powerful 

[jessikagurl101]

"I close my eyes as I walk the thin line

between love and hate

For the person with the same blood in his veins

You show no regrets

about all the things you did or said

I have failed you

but believe me

you failed me too"

*sigh

[jessikagurl101]

This song reminds me of my dad. He's treated me like shit my whole life because he doesn't understand me and doesn't want to.

[WithinTemptaionRULES]

@KuroNekoNoShi Yeah I don't know why that is... When I uploaded them, I got the "remove-your-videos-because-bl­ah-blah" thing and when it came up the videos got the length of 0:00.

[mattias913]

Hate that this song doesn´t exist on Spotify! It´s so awesome!

[RezzKalozzTV]

from which album is this song? i can't find it on any album! S: Plz reply O:

[deadselly]

@RezzKalozzTV - It's from The Silent Force.

[Pixieydust2]

@RezzKalozzTV "Destroyed" is a bonus track on ‘Memories’ and on the special edition of the English 'The Silent Force' album. Hope that helped. Got it off the Within Temptation Official Website. Under Fanzone: Forums: Within Temptation FAQ, bonus tracks. I was interested also. =)

[Melilithia]

"It's so easy to destroy and condemn the ones you do not understand... do you ever wonder if it's justified?"

My beliefs and I can completely relate to this...

[greatmusiclvr1]

i did my best to please you, but my best was never good enough, somehow your only able to see, all i am not

that line goes out to my mom who expects the perfect child that i can't be.

I LOVE ALLTHIER SONGS, THEY'RE SO MEANINGFUL!

[Nerethia]

@greatmusiclvr1 Usually most of the mothers are able to understand that their child is the best they could ever hope for. Usually it has something to do with the child's age, most of the parents are more than thankful to have children... :)

Anyways, great song. Pure, wonderful and touching, especially this song - though there are other songs too, just as good :)

[greatmusiclvr1]

@Nerethia that does not apply to my mom. i ran away from home and the only reason the cops got involved was because my friends freaked out because they couldn't find me. idk how normal moms are but my mom biggest regret is having kids

[RezzKalozzTV]

@greatmusiclvr1 same here, same here....

[greatmusiclvr1]

@RezzKalozzTV thts messed up

[BreathOfWords]

@greatmusiclvr1 Wow, I have the same feelings... This song is so true for so many people! 

[greatmusiclvr1]

@BreathOfWords and that is sad

[MISTRQ1]

jsou dokonalí

[marsmars1993]

you know what? it's such a pity that they don't show off this song at all...not even in one live??? and it's one of the best of WT...what can I say...

[dreadrath]

8 dislikes?....(Sighs).....I'll never understand humanity.

[hyerkill]

another great song by them ;]

[BeyondtheDamned]

It's so easy to destroy

and condemn

but what you do not understand**

[SchoolShinanigins]

3rd guy on the right. just behind his head.

DEMON!

[fullmetalgod]

@SchoolShinanigins Higher above that is a cow with a crown and a tie about to fist bump himself...or he has shoulder pads.

Though I should tell you it's kaleidoscope effect, so it works kind of like an inkblot test. XD

[MrsDevilia]

i cannot understand why there are dislikes in a song like this. Sharon has an amazing voice and their mysic is perfect! <3

[DahniSewrattan]

within temptation is cool!

[CrazyBich800]

is it just me or does the one next to Sharon on the right looks like Hugh Jackman?

[marsmars1993]

@CrazyBich800 ahahahahahahaa oh my, you are so right!! xD and btw this song is PERFEEECT! definitely one of the best of WT ;) well done you guys! applause :P

[Marieluna]

@CrazyBich800 Yes he does! lol

[Jbbme2810]

6 people should be destroyed!

[xRatedL]

@Jbbme2810 ''It's so easy to destroy

and condemn

The ones you do not understand

in your life why didn't you ever try ''

[Jbbme2810]

@xRatedL lol xD

[bubbles3325]

@Jbbme2810 we should lock them in a room and make them listen to this song all day lol

[Jbbme2810]

@bubbles3325 Yeah >:D lol

[heavenofthealive1995]

oh my goodnessssssss!!! i looove this song :)))) already listened 2 it fr about 23 times or something

[lobosolitariocs]

Self desctruction

[nisirocks12341]

Those 6 people dont know music :)

[Blozi]

@Shaqualine hahaha well I don't know if you were the only one :p but that was funny

[AngalicWings]

alright I thought it was strange that I never heard of the song nor the album and after some research I found out why! Its because it never was an official release here in the Netherlands which is fucked up because its there home country! WHY WT WHY DO YOU KEEP ANYTHING FROM YOUR WORK AWAY FROM US LOYAL DUTCH FANS. ITS US THAT OFFERED OUR HEARTS FIRST!

[ZogdorFilms]

how can someone dislike this simple they are blind to they're destruction :3

[banismi]

beste Band die es je gab! jedes einzelne lied von ihnen ist einfach GENIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

liebe diese band über alles!

hoffnetlich gibt es bald neues von ihnen! kann es kaum erwarten!

[jamesrocks4eva]

"It's so easy to destroy and comdemn the ones you do not understand" I think Within Temptation have manged to sum up the human race in a line.

[destroyerofworlds101]

@jamesrocks4eva we maybe capable of great evil but we are also capable of great good try to remember we aren't completly lost

[exxflats]

i love this song but where are the lyrics XD

[GaaraxXxShizuka4ever]

@exxflats In the description

[voltz15]

[Affixedghost]

I LOVE THIS SONG

[johnkerry7]

gaaaaah. this song, i could be having the best day in the world...but this song ( i love it and it is beautiful) always makes me think deep and always makes me a lil sad.

[Symphony2DX]

Not their best...

[johnkerry7]

@Symphony2DX this actually is one of their bests and im so upset that i cant really find it in stores.

[Colliztion17]

@johnkerry7 its only because this was there demo. its not a single so it cant be sold as one.

[youcantdestroyedme]

me encanta esta cancion! I♥WT 4ever

[azizam12]

I love this brand - they're just gr8!

[sisterssaura]

I love this song! =)

[Zhengyis]

this song sound so perfect

[blackhoumor]

an album " destroyed" doesn't exist!!!!

the albums of within temptation are:

enter

the dance

mother earth

the silent force

the heart of everything

the black symphony

an acoutic night at the theatre

this and other songs are b-sides or just singles. but there never was an album destroyed!

[emptybliss2]

@blackhoumor do you know where i can get Enter and The Dance? Im in the US and we suck when it comes to music do you know where i can buy an import?

[blackhoumor]

@emptybliss2

do you know the online delivery service "amazon"??

i dont know wether they deliver to the US,too. but at the moment i cant think of another way how you could get the two albums.

i personally dont have the two albums neither. but i am going to buy them soon.

because enter is from 1998 and wont be sold so much longer i fear.

[emptybliss2]

@blackhoumor Yeah i know amazon, i just bought new cymbals for my drum set from there. I feel stupid for not thinking of that. Thank you for reminding me of amazons existence.

[endorianki]

This song describes me perfectly T.T . My father failed me. I expected him to be loving and understanding and accepting. He meets only one of those categories: I'm sure he loves me in his own way. But he won't accept who I have become. And I have failed him. I;ve condemned myself and destroyed who I once was. I'm slowly killing myself. And he never shows his regrets for what he said.

[MTHDSJTZ]

@endorianki oh gomen nasai

[xxAtlantianKnightxx]

Very beautiful and lovely song.

[guerrero1994]

beautiful song wt rocks♥_~

[angelicmania]

i like the words of this song !!! u re only able to see all iam not !!! that's true !! u will never show any regret of what uve done .. troll !! such a weak pathetic he is !!

[apatheticemoticon]

This would be a great song for Faramir and Denathor from Lord of the Rings.

[maidenofrohan]

@apatheticemoticon yep i agree.

[vladimir2tod4ever97]

@apatheticemoticon I so agree. XD

[xxRubyLivesxx]

"I close my eyes as I walk the thin line

between love and hate

For the person with the same blood in his veins "

I just realized that this song is about someone's relationship with their father. About never being good enough for him, not reaching his standards, him not accepting you....I had always thought it was about a boyfriend but now that it says the same blood runs through their veins its either a brother or a father but probably a father.

[marden67]

@xxRubyLivesxx lol, I thought like you... I thought it was about a boy friend... But you're problably right. It's about something missed between a father and his child or a mother and her child...

[Esunmar]

@xxRubyLivesxx From those lyrics I thought it meant everyone because in the end we're all related but not everyone's willing to put up their differences.

[SisterOfSorrow]

Its weird, this song along with jane doe sound nothing like the other tracks on silent force. Y did they add those tracks?

[blackhoumor]

destroyed is not a song from the silent force album! it could be a bonus track on a single release, such as jane doe is a bonus track on a single... but this song is not from a WT album

[lucius1176]

it is a bonus track and it is from the silent force album along with Jane doe

[CelticJew]

@blackhoumor destroyed is a bonus track/b-side on the UK/US/Australia/Japan Release of The Silent Force Premium Edition Release, and the Demo Version is on the Memories single

[delivermypain]

I know some people who find it very easy to destory and condemn me and I'm telling you, it's not justified and they certainly failed me!

The lyrics suddenly have a much deeper meaning now that they've got to do with me. I only know understand from how many ways this can come from. 5/5 and favorite thanks for the lyrics

[FallOfGenesis13]

i don't like most songs when i hear them the first time on a cd when i know the other tracks; but this one, i liked from the start :)

[rupertfan27]

yeah i've always like this one. i also love their song forgiven

[yunaisdehgal]

amaing song xxx

[MegaDemerol]

I wanna believe

[MarkusLMC29]

is Destroyed an official album? because I downloaded the WT discography with the intent of buying the albums later (you'd be hard pressed to find a record store here that sells good metal) and I can't find any album information for Destroyed.

[guardianangel683]

itunes has it posted as a song on the silent force

[MarkusLMC29]

i have an album though thats labeled as Destroyed... starting with the title track, then Blue Eyes, Sounds of Freedom, Jane Doe...

[lucius1176]

It's one of two bonus tracks off the "Silent Force" album along with Jane Doe, and by God they are a real bonus, great tracks!

[FutureMrsEmppuV]

it's just a song from the The Silent Force CD, not a CD itself

[IceWolfTheIkeMaster]

I love this song. WT FTW :D

[poisinousred]

Great song..and it's really interestig that nowdays I listen to things like that and also to much "heavier" music like Children of Bodom, Ador Dorath, Opeth..and so on..

[kuriboh400]

one of my favorite songs but the way she sing reminds me of night wish

[jamesrocks4eva]

love this song, love the album

overall, just a great band

[fishb0ng]

great song, great lyrics

[thedarksoulyo1]

~You show no regrets ....about all the things you did or said .....I have failed you

but believe me .....you failed me too ....~

[bue2762]

[GracefulValley]
