Quote from JP himself; “After the intro, the theme kicks in. The way it made me envision flying through the air in slow motion really influenced the lyrics, which are about the uprisings in the Middle East, people fighting against oppression.” |

| Avenged Sevenfold – 4:00 A.M. Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Amazing song, I'm surprised it didn't make the album... Its meaning is pretty ambiguous but from what I can gather it's about how life isn't easy and how when all is looking well and good, life can be suddenly changed for worse. "These things don't happen here, another fictional reality, It's all you'll find, all you'll find! It's just as good as any other day, I'm gonna teach you about mortality, No, it's not right, it's not right!" It seems like a tragedy has occurred in his (previously) happy life, and he is denying that the tragedy had ever occurred in the first place because he cannot comprehend the scale of it (could have something to do with The Rev?). The whole 4 in the morning thing probably refers to the fact that in some places the sun rises at 4 AM, thus it heralds the new day, and we could easily give up everything but we choose to move on and face whatever challenges the new day brings. The song also seems to be directed at someone but it's difficult to tell of whom... Oh and Syn's solo is awesome :P | |

| Avenged Sevenfold – Save Me Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This song is about The Rev and how his death has impacted on the band. Alot of the lyrics deal with the immense pain that has been brought across the band due to Jimmy's passing, leaving Shadows with a certian disdain for the world ("Save me, I'm trapped in a vile world, where endings are the same as every other, we're only here to die). He is lost in this world with memories of the Rev where eventually everything ends, and he is pleading to be set free of it. It also seems as if Shadows is questioning God as to why he has taken his brother away. The line "Is it something we did? Is it something we did to them?" suggests that he is asking God if The Rev's passing was a punishment for the music that Avenged Sevenfold created and exposed to their fans ("them" being the fans). I believe that the final, repeated line, "Tonight we all die young", is a testament to the bond that exists between the band and Jimmy. The band would rather take their lives away so they could once again be with their fallen brother. |

| Dream Theater – Two Far Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This song is from the Majesty Demos (1986) and was recorded with Chris Collins on vocals. The tape is extremely hard to come by as only 1000 copies were ever made. There's an instrumental version of the song on Youtube if you want to check that out. | |

I can't believe that no one has commented on this song yet, it's a very good one and is one of my favourites by Blind Guardian. As for the meaning I'm not sure. |
