    It’s interesting to note that this song is a direct emotional response to the sudden death of their best friend and drummer. The pills are a reference to the fact that he died from taking conflicting prescription drugs. I always think of this song as the anger stage of grief

    Metal music is not crafted because the artists enjoy being in negative moods or they want people to be angry. Metal is about taking the most powerful emotions and feelings that most people often seem to be afraid of and reject (Hate, lust, anger) and putting them into a form of music that has more power and truth at it's core than any other music. When I listen to pop music, I don't feel happy, when I listen to rap I don't feel like a bad ass gangster, but when I listen to metal I can feel every second of it pulsating throughout my entire body and soul. It is a symphony that can entirely consume you. Metal music is the only thing that can turn hate and anger into something great and beautiful.

    • @nicoleroyle97
      @nicoleroyle97 6 років тому +15

      Rick Schmidt hold on a sec, im Christian its not purely coz hes christian. I just think itll be interesting to see someones reaction (being a man of faith) to see if he would down right slate it or try and find a actuall meaning to the song. If u listen to the lyrics without the video the meaning (if there is one, i like to interpret lyrics myself as im listening to it for me to help me, so my interoretation is often different to what its meant to be about). My interpretation is that hes in a relationship and even though its not healthy for any of them (its one sided, toxic and just overall failing) he is still trying to make it work and in doing so hurting the one he supposedly loves, in turn the girl then decideds to tell him and show him how she feel and what this relationship is doing to her, and thats its pretty much killing her and so she wants to get her revenge. In the end they ignore all signs and go back into the relationship which is still as toxic as ever. Thats just my interpretation but u know everone will have different opinions. I didnt mean to offend you with my comment and if i did i do appologise i am christian myself and honestly i just like to reaearch this type if stuff because the normal reaction to the song is like ures but idk i am genuinely intrigued by what his go to thaughts and feels would be, would he stick by his book or go straight to his instincts and be repulsed. Again if this or my previous comment offended u i do appologise i just wanted to explain what i meant and i hope i didnt offend u further witb this comment... sorru

      Fiction was rough track recorded by Jimmy before he passed. They left his original track and recorded the rest. I believe Brompton Cocktail was written by Brian so it couldn't have been a suicide note for the accidental overdose death of Jimmy...

    • @mcaspers21

    @RedSky-vf8bf 6 років тому +40

    This album is called “Nightmare”. It was written and recorded shortly after the tragic death of their drummer. A lot of this album is an attempt at coping with that loss.
    Faith and struggles in faith are a constant theme of Avenged Sevenfold.

      @GuitarFin1 6 років тому +2

      Well, Synyster Gates wrote So Far Away completely by himself, AND it was long before the rev died cuz he started it as a tribute to his grandfather. Fiction was written by the rev himself and he even sings on it on the album. Of course they changed up some parts but most of it the rev was there writing with them.

    "Lair, rape , kill" could probably be about how theres so many horrible people doing horrible things but God decided to take the rev (their deceased drummer) away. "You better take your time. You better take it slow, cause when you see the one , there's nothing left to show " could be them telling god that if he keeps taking good people away like this, soon people (the one ) will lose their faith in god ( theres nothing left to show)

He was sick with a enlarged heart and had a "accidental overdose" this album "Nightmare" is largely based on there feelings towards his death. Some fans believe the rev took himself out in his own way before the inevitable, many believe they hinted for a while through there music about The Revs sickness.

And mark is saying dont lose hope, maybe there is something out there! They even sing back and fourth to each other like they're having the conversation, it's an amazing song and the note Myles hits at the end will blow you away

    I'm a huge A7X fan and also a Christian. Love your analysis on the song. Picked up some things I didn't really notice before. I didn't get too deep into this one because I just thought they were angry about Jimmy's death. I think there is more to it than that. I also think it is very important in the chorus that it starts with "God save us" and then ends with "God hates us". I don't think from the writer's perspective that this is a statement on God, but rather a statement about men. It is no coincidence that you live a total nightmare if you ask God to save you and then follow that with God hates us all.

      Also, I think you may be correct....the intro is you drifting off to sleep, then the nightmare begins, and the end is you waking up again. The whole song takes place in a person's subconscious.

    After looking into the lyrical meaning, I’ve read from multiple sources that the main focus on the main Punch line “God Hates us All” is Matt stressing the “all” as god viewing all men as equal, no one man better than any other, rather than the meaning being a feeling that the world is out to get you.

      CitizenErased 17 ive seen multiple instances where their faith and background is discussed. A few of them attended catholic schools growing up and a few of them appear to still be christian. the lead singers seems to indicate in interviews he believes in an upper power but not organised religion. So I suppose part of my statement should be edited. Most of these men definitely have direct links to religion, and I firmly still believe this album explores the questions they have after a friends death.

      Haz 667 To me if you look at the lyrics, especially at the part about the pills, it kind of sounds to me how our society is being subjected to medication from medical companies even though we don’t really need it. Then the taking of years to create just so they control you sounds a lot like government. Sounds like the government says forget God and worship us instead.

      Codeman1215 In my mind you’re spot on. M. Shadows is a well read guy and his writing (as I’ve seen in most albums.

But apart from that Brian Haner writes killer solos

    Glad people can see and hear this music and not just go running around condemning it as satanic. Metal is basically a more emotionally intense version of standard rock. A7x in these songs usually talks about how the soul struggles with life and his own thoughts and inner darkness. When they mention anything of heaven or hell its generallt just questioning life and why things happen. Love them and Five Finger Death Punch for their lyrics and messages.

    I grew up listening to A7X , The Rev (their original drummer who passed away and this album was written about) was a huge inspiration in my drumming. I too am Christian but struggled a lot in my earlier days , But I just wanted to say how much I appreciated how you actually took time to pick these lyrics apart and give a solid opinion. You didn’t bash the band or the song. At the end when you talked about them waking up from the dream I never even thought of that. I’ve always loved this song because when I saw them live years ago this was the song they played when Matt( the singer ) noticed my sign for their recently deceased drummer and gave me the respect ✊ sign and hit his chest lol and pointed at me lol.

  • @XxDarkXxXSasuxX

    It's unfortunate that he didn't really have the connotation surrounding this song before he listened to it.

    Ik I'm late but this song is about the anger the band had when their drummer died. Most of the album is about their bandmates death. This song shows their anger of his death, other songs show their sorrow, others show their depression of it. But in this song that's why its God Hates Us and that's also why there is the lyric "Total Nightmare". The Pills had a role is also referring to how the Jimmy (the drummer) died.

    Never taught about the idea of falling asleep at the beginning, arrive in this "total nightmare" and then waking up at the end of the song. I really like it. That being said, knowing the circumstances in which the song was written, this was certainly a metaphorical sleep, beceause the loss of their great friend and drummer was real.. A short moment when they lost control of their emotions and taught that god hates them beceause there were angry,sad and powerless in this tragedy.

    The whole concept of this song and the others on the album is the inner struggle you have coping when you lose a loved one way to soon. The name of the album says it all, this has to be a Nightmare it can't be true. Songs on the album Nightmare, God Hates Us, Victim, and So Far Away all point at the grieving process that the band members, families, and fans felt that day. And for the record I'm Christian. And it's quite judgmental of a pastor of all people to pigeon hole people like that because of the music they choose. And you wonder why your seats in churches are easy to find these days.

I am Christian and I love their music but god allows freewill and you are able to do what you want I'm not saying the song speaks the truth but it shows their pain after losing a close friend or brother.People can also relate to this song.You should have him listen to the revs last song it was a suicide note that he had written before he died.The song is called "Fiction".
