[blvdes]

it's so crazy to think about how much life has changed since the last a7x album

[moondusk]

This song is a slow gradual thing, is slowly slowly grows on you, then you realise its a master piece..

[Kekorock]

Gotta be honest. It takes balls to release something like this. No catchy chorus, no pop-ish vibes. Just pure art.

Edit: OMG my comment blew up! Thank you everyone! ❤

[chrstphrluis]

I can’t believe I’ve been jamming a7x since 9th grade and now I’m 34 and my daughter loves them! So crazy how life passes by. Thank you a7x for everything 🙌

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Ride in the shadows wandering beyond the frame

Float like a feather through space and time outside a dream
Pirouette with divinity in a dance we've shared before
"Someone dissolution"
This is "I am all" as "I am none"
Here we fly so high, no, I, no coming down
Shedding weight as I'm coming undone
All that's left converging as one
I am the sun
I am the sun

[Chorus]
I'm a God, I'm awake, I'm the one in everything
I'm alive, I'm the dead, I'm a man without a head

[Verse 2]
I walk with death in final exhalation
And come apart through violent separation
A thousand floors ascend into the ether
A lunatic enchanted by the reaper
And down below I leave a stranger laying lifeless as the light begins to shatter the skies
I ascend and leave behind the "used to be"
And tear the fabric worn to cover my eyes and see
I see

[Refrain]
Nobody

[Verse 3]
Breathe in the silence, ebb and flow among the waves
Blur on the spectrum in light come dark in equal phase
All I ever was, has been and always will be
Here I end as I started again beyond death and borne on the wind
I am the sun
I am the sun

[Chorus]
I'm a God, I'm awake, I'm the one in everything
I'm alive, I'm the dead, I'm a man without a head

[Post-Chorus]
A crack in the darkness
A tear in the sky
A narrow moment when we find ourselves
And all we occupy
Return to the boundless
Immerse in the free
Letting go as you lose your name
And all you’ve known to be

[Bridge]
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody

[sevesetupou]

You can really hear the change in Matt's voice. It sounds more weathered. Age catches up with us all but the band's service to the fans has always been exceptional over the years.

Edit:

Perhaps I should have phrased my sentiments more elaborately. The time was 3am where I am.

I love A7X. Always have, always will. I'm not bashing Matt's vocals. I'm simply making an observation. There's not a vocalist on Earth that will have the same singing voice after 20 years of singing. Listen to any track from City of Evil and then listen to any track from The Stage. Same singer, years apart, and you can hear it. That's all I'm saying. I appreciate the passionate dialogue, though. Keep it going.

[crispycritter]

I'm 65 years old never listen to this band but this is the best song I've ever heard thank you sevenfold

[huskycruxes]

Oh wow. I'm not usually a music video kinda guy but when I saw this was stop motion animated I had to watch it. The amount of love and care that requires is astonishing.

[RockFeed]

A new era for Avenged Sevenfold begins. 🫡🔥

[patos]

Man that ending solo sequence was a thing of beauty 🤘🏻

[glasshalffullofwhatever]

M. Shadow's grimey voice with the industrial riff, and the melancholic, dreary tone really sells this IMO...

[Spartacus]

Infinite kudos to Brooks for always keeping Jimmy’s presence in songs. I will never get tired of hearing the ‘double ride thing’ 🙏🏼

[CMFL]

This is nuts. The evolution this band has naturally gone through over its career is one of the most dramatic and exciting in rock music history. They've literally checked all the boxes and continue to make up new ones as they go. I've been listening to The Stage (and the rest of the catalog, of course) at least a few times per week for the last several years...while I never tire of it I CANNOT WAIT to have a whole new album to learn every nook and cranny of.

[TunaLounge]

Ride in the shadows, wondering beyond the frame
Float like a feather through space and time outside a dream
Pirouette with divinity in a dance we've shared before
Someone dissolution
This is "I am all" as "I am none"
Here we fly so high, no high, no coming down

Shedding weight as I'm coming undone
All that's left converging as one
I'm the sun
I'm the sun, yeah

I'm the God
I'm awake
I'm the one in everything
I'm alive
I'm the dead
I'm a man without a head

I walk with death in final exhalation
(I'm the wake) and come apart through violent separation
(I'm the one in everything) a thousand floors ascend into the ether
A lunatic enchanted by the reaper
(I'm alive) and down below I leave a stranger laying
(I'm the dead) lifeless as the light begins to shatter the skies
(I'm a man without a head) I ascend and leave behind the "used to be"
And tear the fabric worn to cover my eyes (and see)
(I see, I see) nobody

Breath in the silence
Ebb and flow among the waves
Blur on the spectrum in like a dark an equal face
All I ever was, has been and always will be

Here I am as I'm starting again
Beyond death and borne on the wind
I'm the sun
I'm the sun, yeah

I'm the God
I'm awake
I'm the one in everything
I'm alive
I'm the dead
I'm a man without a head

A crack in the darkness
A tear in the sky
(I'm the one in everything) and there the moment when we find ourselves
And all we occupy
Return to the boundless
Immerse in the free
Letting go as you lose your name
And all you've known to be

Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody

no "I", no coming down

Shedding weight as I'm coming undone

[Guitar Solo]

[Instrumental Outro]

[majinmatt]

Synester Gates is one of the most underrated guitarists of the 2000s to now. He has one of a kind greatness. Deserves way more recognition that he gets.

[cathan]

I’m so happy there are still bands out there with the courage to pursue art.

[aleksandarradovanovic]

This is one of those rare and unique songs that transcends any musical genre. Not made to be catchy or to pander any metal fan base.. but to be deeply remembered and discussed for decades to come, as a genuine work of art.

[abukhanmusic]

Is there no one talking about that solo?! Syn is an absolute monster, his playing gets better with every new release! Crazy

[RubyDaJelly]

Man, I am having the rough year. I started crying when I heard this, I just can't wait for the new album! Thanks to Avenged Sevenfold for making my year a bit better, I love you! 💚
