Disturbed - Haunted Lyrics Meaning

Personally I believe that the song's meaning is about a former romantic relationship with a woman. Draiman is tormented by memories of his pas lover. However, it seems that something went very wrong, and despite regrets, he is hesitant of returning to the past, as he doesn't want to get involved in a world he abhors. Even his dreams are haunted by images of the past or alternatives of what could have been, yet once awoken, he remembers and stays true to his current position.

He is confused, and realizes that he can no longer feel love and comfort the same way as he did before, yet in such a violent way that he feels his blood turning to ice, destroying the purity of his emotions and his very soul.

He isn't the only one in this difficult condition, as the feeling is mutual. Both he and his former romantic interest still love each other, but once their two different world meet, they collide, ending badly on both sides.

This might be a result of her past that enrages him. Therefore, he feels like fleeing from the past itself, yet the past still clings like a bad wound.
