Question

Whats Rihannas song disturbia supposed to be about?

Answer 1

It's about her leaving her long-term boyfriend.

Faded pictures on the wall

It's like they talkin' to me

Disconnectin' your call

Your phone don't even ring

I gotta get out

Or figure this **** out

It's too close for comfort

and at the beginning when she says

Whats wrong with me?

Why am i feeling like this?

And every time she thinks about him, she falls into disturbia.

I think in the same way, she keeps thinking of they guy that she broke up with, and when she does, she gets that rushing feeling, that she calls disturbia - at the same time shes trying to block him out of her head.

t's a thief in the night

To come and grab you

It can creep up inside you

And consume you

A disease of the mind

It can control you

It's too close for comfort

Throw on your break lights

We're in the city of wonder

Ain't gonna play nice

Watch out, you might just go under

Better think twice

Your train of thought will be altered

So if you must faulter be wise

Your mind is in disturbia

It's like the darkness is the light

Disturbia

Am I scaring you tonight

Your mind is in disturbia

Ain't used to what you like

Disturbia

Disturbia

or, i think it means think it's a warning to those who want to be in the entertainment business, that things can make you change:

"It's a thief in the night, to come and grab you"

and the good things(fame) aren't what they seem:

"It's like the darkness is the light".

And also about not letting yourself change:

"Watch out, you might just go under

Better think twice

Your train of thought will be altered

So if you must faulter be wise "

And she sings about being careful, to turn on the break:

"Throw on your break lights, it's the city of wonder" And the city of wonder might mean Hollywood..

And last but not least i think it means a nightmare. Where she's just describing a random nightmare that she had, or keeps having maybe because she keeps thinking of a past scary experience.

Talking about the nightmare coming on:

"It's a thief in the night

To come and grab you

It can creep up inside you

And consume you

A disease of the mind

It can control you

It's too close for comfort"

Talking about how unpredictable and horrible the nightmare is:

Throw on your break lights

We're in the city of wonder

Ain't gonna play nice

Watch out, you might just go under

Better think twice

Your train of thought will be altered

So if you must faulter be wise

Your mind is in disturbia

It's like the darkness is the light

Disturbia

Am I scaring you tonight

Your mind is in disturbia

Ain't used to what you like

Disturbia

Disturbia

Well those are my main theories, unless you wanted me to tell you a simple "Panic attack" suggestion. Who knows? It's kinda your own opinion(= best answer plz

In the song, she says "your mind is in disturbia..."

I read in an interview about it that it also means how all the fame and fortune can go to your head and make you insane, like the dark side...lol

It's like her mind is going crazy. Like when she says 'staring at the pictures on the wall, its like they're talking to me' It's like shes going insane.

I like how PATRICK said "its discribein people with disturerbiaa or something like that and he says it's common sense.

If it's common sense then why can't you even spell Disturbia when she already spelled it in the question. lol gosh

I think it's just something that means something to her...

Answer 15

i dunno, i think it has a connection wither her ex boyfreind, who starred in the movied "disturbia"

Answer 16

Love

Answer 17

The song seems to be about something eerie, like an eerie feeling that you're not alone or that you're being watched. The lyrics could fit in with schizophrenia, depression, insomnia or any slew of psychological disorders or even spiritual possession. "Disturbia" is a state of mental anguish and confusion. I'd like to think it's deeper than a song about a break-up.
