    This song is about the loss of their drummer, very powerful one. This song is one of their anthems and the closing song of the Nightmare album, that explains its length.

    The "SKULL!" growl in the beginning is The Rev, it was the last useable vocal take they had from him and they found it randomly on a tape in the studio and worked it into this.

    This is about their former drummer who passed away, he was their best friend and rock in the band when they refer to “I’m loosing my only dream” is meaning their dream to be a band. Also has a lot of anger and questioning why “is it something we said/did to them” questioning if there’s something they could have done to change the outcome. M.Shadows the singer has said this song kinda goes through the stages of their grief for the loss of their drummer and friend. The last part the “tonight we all die young” is referring to a piece of them individually and as a band has died and will never be the same. Very powerful song that goes through their emotions of loosing their friend.

      I wonder then. If the song was written for him, so the drum parts are actually written by Mike Portnoy/the band? Because most drum parts in the album were already written by The Rev before he passed, and Portnoy just recorded them
      Im not doubting by the way, just genuinely curious

      @@indigoiozziavenged sevenfold has stated that they rewrote tons of lyrics after the Rev’s passing to focus more on him and his life and death. So from my understanding the musical ideas were already completed but the the lyrics were changed to fit the narrative of the album as we know it.

      The band has stated that they made Mike Portnoy play the drums, the way the Rev wrote & played them in the demo. But at the end of the song, they let Mike add his own flair, & symbol work to the song. They also stated that the end, the Rev originally wrote as the chorus, but they said it just wasn’t working so they decided to put it at the end.

    I think you’d dig Exist, off their album the Stage, also the last song on the album. I always felt like it was the second part after Save Me for some reason, probably the length. But also theme, as it is a song they wrote according to an interview, that is a musical representation of the life of the universe from the Big Bang to now, vocals coming in at the dawn of life. It’s a trippy long instrumental that feels like a continuation of the thematic aspects of this song. But yeah if you get a chance check it out!

    Fact: this song was about to be called : tonight we all die! Rev wanted to make a Chorus out of these words, but the band was not that keen, was not working with the instrumentation. after he passed away soon after, the band found a way to incorporate this sentence in the end, thats why you hear it being said around 8 or 9 times in the end.

    From your comments I feel like you would like some songs from their two most recent albums. They have got more proggy and experimental in those albums and there's a lot of "interesting noises" and unique sounds in them. Apart from that, those albums also have very interesting lyrics that make you think without making it too hard to grasp their meaning. It's hard to pick specific songs, but, at least to start, I recommend "Paradigm" from "The Stage" (2016) and "Mattel" from "Life Is But a Dream..." (2023).
    "Paradigm" is not really my favorite song from "The Stage", but I think it's an underrated song and the more famous songs are already probably going to be requested at some point anyway.
