Inside the Fire Lyrics
Won't go to heaven
She's just another lost soul
About to be mine again
Leave her
We will receive her
It is beyond your control
Will you ever meet again
Devon
No longer living
Who had been rendered unwhole
As a little...

I saw disturbed last night and they played this song and he stated that "its about a girlfriend from his teenage years he walked in and found her dead and he said he had voices in his head telling him to kill himself to be with her" quite sad really he went on to do a speech about suicide prevention.

This song was written because David's girlfriend committed suicide while they were together. However the song is not written from his perspective, it is written from the perspective of 'the Devil'. This can be seen with lines like "give your soul to me" and "take the word from one immortal". The 'devil' is speaking to David and trying to convince him to take his own life,and that is what is being shown in the lyrics.

The song is about Davids EX-girlfriend who had commited suicide. 'Devon' is not her real name it was just a nick name that David refers to her as. David stated in an interview that Devon was very troubled, and was doing drugs. David tried to help her as much as he could but nothing seemed to work so he broke up woth her. As a result she commited suicide. The parents of 'Devin' blamed David for her suicide and never forgiven him.
The song comes from the funeral of Devin. It was an open casket and as David looked over her body, he thought as if the devil was talking over his shoulder basically saying kill yourself and join devin in hell. This is shown in the lyrics from the lead up to the chorus and the chorus of which David is pretending to be the devil. -

David Draiman leaves no doubt about the meaning of this song, both in his speech at the beginning of the video and his explanation during a live performance. It is on the topic of suicide, when walked in on his dead girlfriend wh had committed suicide during his earlier life. He seriously considered suicide himself, but felt he was being warned by voices in his head not to kill himself. Now he is passionate about warning others, discouraging them from taking their own lives and urging them to seek help. A very sad story. However, the music video actually led me to refrain from suicide myself, after my girlfriend, without warning, refused to speak to me and discuss it. Watching the video demonstrated to me the horror my suicide would throw onto others, especially those who found me, and I reconsidered. I forced myself to abandon suicidal measures, and continue my life. I sincerely hope that anyone who reads this entry who is having suicidal thoughts will consider the effects it will have on others, and decide not to take your life. You will permanently scar other human beings if you choose this path. It's a bad deal.

It's about The singer walking in on his dead girlfriend when he was a teen ager and he herd voices in his head telling him to kill himself to be with her.
Devin
Won't go to heaven
She's just another lost soul
About to be mine again
(Devin went to "hell" becuase the voice he was hearing he said was the devil))
Leave her
We will receive her
It is beyond your control
Will you ever meet again
(him questioning himself)
Devin
No longer living
Who had been rendered unwhole
As a little child
She was taken
And then forsaken
You will remember it all
Let it blow your mind again
(talking about how devin was a little child when she killed herself)
Devin lies beyond this portal
Take the word of one immortal
Give your soul to me
For eternity
Release your life
To begin another time with her
End your grief with me
There's another way
Release your life
Take your place inside the fire with her
(the devil temping him to kill himself)
Sever
Now and forever
You're just another lost soul about to be mine again
See her, you'll never free her
You must surrender it all
if you like to meet again
Fire
for your desire
As she begins to turn cold and run out of time
You will shiver
Till you deliver
You will remember it all
Let it blow your mind again
Devin lies beyond this portal
Take the word of one immortal
Give your soul to me
For eternity
Release your life
To begin another time with her
End your grief with me
There's another way
Release your life
Take your place inside the fire with her
Give your soul to me
For eternity
Release your life
To begin another time with her
End your grief with me
There's another way
Release your life
Take your place inside the fire with her
Devin
No longer living
Who had been rendered unwhole
As a little child
She was taken
And then forsaken
You will remember it all
Let it blow your mind again -

From David, "It's about me standing over the body of my girlfriend who has just killed herself and the speaking voice in the song is the voice ofthe devil speaking to me over my shoulder trying to convince me to take my own life as well so I can still be with her in the afterlife. Based on a true story when I was 15 years old."

this song is about a guy who comes home to find that his girl friend is dead and so he feels so alone without her like he is the only one left in the world. so he gets up the nerve to battle with his mind between killing himself with a gun on the wall. at the end of the video as soon as he puts the gun in his mouth it cuts of to where he is in a strait jacket in a white room.

In the song the lead singer writes very demonic lead lyrics which leads me to believe, (along with supporting evidence including current themes and the suicide of his ex-girlfriend) that the main character has a girlfriend who commits suicide, in the song the devil "appears" to him in a dream and tells him that if he wants to be with her again he must suicide himself. In the end it is a message to help you choose your partner correctly because anything can happen
