Victim (Demo)

Made by Avenged Sevenfold
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Still in my pocket
A needle on the stairs
I won't let the feeling
To know I need to care
I let my feelings go
But the thought I'm on my own
Let my feelings blow and I need to let you know
Still you might find me in the place I like to go
Won't let the feeling in, another would explode
Time keeps passing by and I'm never holding still
Time keeps passing by and wondering what is real
[Chorus]
And I know that can't be real
You're force fed, but know how to feel tonight
We've all been all victim of the crimes
When all's left, it can't be real
We're all dead with nothing of will tonight (Ooh-ooh)
We've all been victim of your crimes
[Verse 2]
Still, when you find me, there's a lot you need to know
Still, when you find me, another would explode
I feel right inside, I feel a little more
I'm changing inside, let me even up the score
[Chorus]
And I know that can't be real
You're force fed, but know how to feel tonight
I've been all been victim of your crimes
When all's left, it can't be real
We're all dead with nothing of will tonight (Ooh-ooh)
Victim of your crimes, yeah, woah, yeah
[Guitar Solo 1]
[Bridge]
Nothing can be perfect
Nothing can be true
I thought I'd kill us all, how about I kill you?
There must've been a reason to step way out of line
I thought I'd end it all, and I thought I was fine
Well, I don't need a reason to step way out of line
And I don't want to off you, someone better time
Cause we all need a reason, we all need to stay
And I, like, can't be perfect
Nothing, let me go, ohh
[Guitar Solo 2]
[Chorus]
Ohh, and I know that can't be real
You're force fed, but know how to feel tonight (Ohh-ohh)
I've been all victim of your crimes
When all's left, it can't be real
You're force fed and know how to feel tonight (Ooh-ooh)
I've been all victim of your crimes
Victim of your crimes
Victim-seen crimes
[Outro]
I'm missing you
I'm missing you
I'm missing you
I'm missing you

Its so crazy how M.Shadows and the crew just decided to switch up the lyrics from all these demos to more like a tribute to the REV after his passing. The skeleton of these demo songs its basically the same as the studio version but the lyrics change really reflect how they wanted to focus more to tribute the REV rather than whatever direction they were going prior to that event. And the lyrics, And ive being a victim of your crime to We're all just victims of a crime, changing from a singular and directed meaning to a more plural one reffering to the band, families and friends of the REV. Pretty stunning and amazing indeed.

I think they just didn't switch up the lyrics, they mumbled the lyrics just to figure out the arrangement for the final cut. Like memorising the arrangement on that particular song and re-writing the lyrics as it better fits. But yes, the whole album was tribute to the REV and SHADOWS did good with the lyrics!

[@ajuadelaajua]

@@gzyflanel Yeah true it was more placeholder stuff rather than final also i think these demos are from 09'. Pretty cool stuff indeed.

[@jeffersonrodrigues5067]

Obra de arte!

[@ajuadelaajua]

TLDR Played both this and studio version together in sync and holy shit its the same fucking some just with diff lyrics

[@chasemathis2016]

yeah, that's usually how demos are

[@ajuadelaajua]

@@chasemathis2016 i mean you can say that but the Save Me demo it’s quite different
The chorus is the bridge from the studio version so it’s not entirely true what you say but yeah they are mostly the same thing
