"Voices" is the second single off the album The Sickness by American rock band Disturbed.
[edit] Interpretation
According to frontman David Draiman, the song deals with the idea that there are possibly "voices" in our heads, telling us to do the things we do. As told by Draiman: "I was watching the Discovery channel one night and there was a program on about serial killers. About the theory that they had these internal voices telling them to maim, kill, steal or whatever it is that they had done, but that is no different from everyone else. We have the same voices in our heads, we just choose not to listen to them."
The song charted at #16 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks and #18 on the Modern Rock Tracks.
[edit] Music Video
The music video of the song showed an office worker who gets plagued by frontman David Draiman. The band is also seen performing in a concert which takes place inside the office worker's head. Throughout the video, the man faces various scenarios which may involve hostile behavior and hearing "voices".
