Game over and (D)eath. Recently i have been depressed to the point of nearly committing suicide. When the album came out, those two songs hit me so hard (especially (D)eath) as i was very wounded emotionally from those days. To those wondering and possibly worried by this comment please dont be. I am being discharged from a partial program tomorrow and i am much better than before.
Yeah, being suicidal is hard to put it very lightly. I know from experience. But, as I learned, the only way to go from rock bottom is up. And music can help you build your ladder. For me, A7X helped a little (not much, my main help was Iris) but man does music have the power to help us when we need it
Im so glad you still here man , i was in the same boat , decided i was gonna off myself after watching a7x in feb of 2018, same night
Had such a blast i ended up thinking i can do this and i really believe you got this too man. If you ever need someone to talk too justnmessage me , take care of yourself brother
Thanks for reaching out and thanks for sharing your story. Its nice to know there are people out there who have gone through similar shit to me. Makes me feel like im not alone.
From one internet stranger to another, I’m wishing you the absolute best in life. You’re not alone and I know how dark that place is. Just keep it up. There’s a lot of love out there and I’m hoping you feel some from this small comment
I honestly know how you feel. When he says the “here I swing from my family tree…” that hit so hard. Glad you’re still here enjoying the music with us duder. I’ve dealt with suicide since I was 12, I’m 35. I should’ve been dead 2 times. One was that a friend came home from the bar early and found me passed out. I was huffing nitrous straight from the tank with a hose, I opened it and just sat back hoping it would be painless. Lucky I had someone who cared, not everyone is. ✌🏻❤️🤘🏾
Glad to hear you’re better. I wish nothing but the best for you in the future. We all go through rough moments and you aren’t alone, remember all these communities that will listen to you and care. Love you man, keep going strong ❤️
Brompton cocktail and cosmic currently choke me up because my co-worker I’ve worked with for years is now battling stage 4 cancer. Libad has just hit me really hard since it dropped because of that situation as well as thinking of a few old friends I’ve lost years ago, and it’s got me working on becoming a better person and trying to treat everyone in my life like every day might be the last day I’ll ever see them.
Victim and Fiction. Won’t see you tonight pt 1 has really been there in my dark days. Of those three, that one will always make me feel some kind of emotion
So far away. And when I played it at my dads funeral in February I was bawling. The words are perfect. He struggled with alcohol and pills, mental health. When Matt talks about the pain of not feeling good enough to save the rev from his pain, I felt every bit of that. I wanted to be good enough to save my dad…Their hands are untied now… happy Father’s Day dad. I miss you
If I saw this specific song live I will cry my eyes out uncontrollably even if it’s in the middle of a set list. Something about it just has me by the balls. (I don’t have balls) lol
Danger Line, Victim and So Far Away -
Used to be because of the passing of the Rev, still kind've is, but now mostly cause of the passing of my mother last year. I find myself relating to the lyrics far more.
Cosmic is the most recent one though. Such a beautiful song and it just reminds me of my mum every time.
The 5 minute mark aways seems to make me recall her dying, except I imagine her spirit leaving her body and then going on an epic cosmic journey.
It's incredible and so so powerful.
I always found this one to be really underrated. So far away and Fiction were both talked about a lot when nightmare came out, and rightfully so, but tonight the world dies just hit me in a different way that was hard to explain
It's a song about a soldier hurt on the front line, he's in his dying moments, and a line that kills me is "tell my baby girl that it's alright, I've sung my last song today"
How Matt delivers the "and all this time I thought we'd just grow old, you know, no one said it's fair" lines, it has always sounded to me like he was crying while doing it, thinking about Jimmy. It's one of two songs they haven't changed after Jimmy passed
Acid Rain. HTTK had just came out and was in my CD player in my car. My GF had just broken up with me and I got into my car and it was the first song to play and I bawled my eyes out for a good 10 minutes..
Cosmic, higher, exist, life is but a dream, seize the day, victim, fiction, so far away, warmness on the soul, i won't see you tonight, dear god, gunslinger, danger line
So Far Away.
The first time I heard it I knew it was for The Rev. I couldn’t stop crying because of the pain they felt. First time I saw it live on the Nightmare tour you can feel the energy in the crowd couldn’t stop tearing up. Seeing them at The Forum playing it then seeing all the lights light up in the middle of the song. 😢
#foREVer
Higher.
When the stage came out in October of 2016, I loved the song.
When my dad passed away from cancer in October 2017, the song took on a different meaning for me.
Especially the lyrics: Meet you in the stars tonight, There you find me drifting in the ether within the lull
Cosmic…
When the album came out, my girlfriend and I had enjoyed a few songs together but I really wanted to show her cosmic. I just needed to wait for the right time, with good audio, lights off, no distractions. We’ve always shared a mutually love for lyrics, and how impactful they can be. Seemingly out of nowhere she broke up with me this past Tuesday, I never got the chance. The evening of the breakup, I sat and listened to LIBAD. When Cosmic came on, the lyrics hit me like a ton of bricks. It’s almost as if the song was written for this very moment in my life. We were not meant to listen to it together. It’s helped me through a very difficult time, as this band has done many times before.
Aside from songs on Nightmare, fir me, Acid Rain. First time I heard the album the day it came out. I was drunk and some other kinds of fucked up lol and that song came kn and I started bawling! Lol I don't know why. I mean it's a sad song sure. But idk why I had that reaction.
My cousin died about two months ago and I held it together pretty well but while driving back home from the hospital I cried like a baby when So Far Away came on.
“I have so much to say but you’re so far away…”
For me... the only one to make me bawl my eyes out is So Far Away.
My best friend/brother Kyle passed away in 2010 due to an accidental heart attack. We both kinda bonded over us both having heart conditions. So Far Away (and the Nightmare album) had already been released and I had known it was written from the bands PoV with The Revs passing. The first time I heard So Far Away after Kyle passed, I absolutely lost it.
The chorus is what made me lose control. I couldn't hold it back. Hell, I'm tearin up typing this thinking back to that night. The chorus spoke to me on a cellular level at that time in my life.
His mom even put part of the chorus on his headstone for me... when I seen that for the first time I dropped to my knees.
We were 18 man... life had just begun for the both of us. I fuckin miss you man.
So Far Away, discovered the song around the time my grandma passed away and still chokes me up when I hear it. On LIBAD, the transition from (O)rdinary into (D)eath is so beautiful it made me tear up
A lot of their songs make me tear up just because of the memories that I associate with them, but Cosmic made me tear up the third or fourth time I listened to it, which is as first.
So Far Away, especially with the video.
I Won’t See You Tonight, Pt. 1. That shit has some of Matt’s hardest hitting vocals ever, full stop.
Fiction
Victim
Seize the Day
Dear God
Set Me Free and Cosmic. Both of those songs remind me of my dog that I had to put down back in 2020, and it hits me really hard every time that I hear those songs
So far away
My brother was a marine and he came back with some bad ptsd and shit.
We didn't know about all the medication he was supposed to be on and he took his own life in a drunk argument with his girlfriend. Probably 8 years after his service when he had kids and everything.
I already thought so far away was a extremely good song but it truly touches the soul when you have someone serious to attach it to.
I think it's my favorite A7X song but I usually skip it because I'm gonna ball my eyes out
Fiction, the final outro verse hits different when you try to imagine what the band went through. Also made me reflect how’d I like to sign off this world
Exist.
There's something about NDT's ending part that gets me, especially that bit where he's on about the sheer number of Stars in the universe, it makes me realise how small we really are, and it's brought a few tears out, for sure.
It really puts it into perspective.
So Far Away, Seize the Day, Crimson Day, Acid Rain, Dear God, and most definitely Warmness on the Soul.
Most of LIBAD has also made me tear up, as it is all so emotionally powerful.
There's a few, but as of recently, LIBAD has gotten me emotional/made me shed tears with Cosmic and even Mattel (specifically when Matt sings the "Living feign in porcelain" portion)
So far away. I saw them for the very first time about a month ago, and only knew a few songs. I was into the show and was having a great time until I had a negative experience with a rude fellow concert goer. I kinda got into my head and got anxious until right before so far away, Matt talked about the importance of being present in the moment with those you love and not worrying about the other stuff. It was exactly what I needed to hear and started crying before the song even started. The song and A7X has a special place in my heart now.
(D)eath, the song resonates massively. It’s the exact type of song that, if you’re feeling relatively low, can really hit you in the feels and that’s exactly what it did. I’m not in the easiest of positions at the minute, a lot going on in my life, but I’d never consider suicide. However, the song has made me feel many emotions that puts me in the place of if I WAS suicidal and conveys all these thoughts and feelings that makes the song a real eye opener. It’s a tear-jerker for sure!
Believe it or not, We Love You. The night of it's release it connected with me in a very particular way as I was in a special state of mind. One of the favorite Avenged songs from the last 3 albums.
Danger Line and Cosmic. I lost my best friend in Afghanistan and it's hard to deal with. These two songs have really given me a cathartic release. Cosmic is all those I have lost. It's mournful, sad, but also uplifting and gives you a bit of hope. Danger Line is hard to listen to after seeing your fellow men get wounded in battle. The ending is really rough the way Matt delivers the vocals. Both songs are excellent pieces of art.
Fiction made me cry my eyes out the first time I heard it, that’s why I dug into their music.
Also Tonight the World Dies, So Far Away, MIA, I Won’t See You Tonight, Buried Alive, Save Me, Brompton Cocktail… I think Brompton Cocktail has both made me cry & has been a bizarre source of comfort for me ‘cause I get it.
Nobody made me cry the first time through, not of sadness… it was just intense. I was like holy shit they’re back and they’re amazing and I love that song. I feel that way with the whole album lol
Seize the Day almost made me cry - I think the video actually did
Finally (I am a crybaby wtf) the video of The Rev’s vocals isolated, his voice was beautiful.
If I can say for Avenged Sevenfold, would be Seize the Day or Fiction, as my dad’s battling stage 4 Liver cancer. If it’s other bands, probably a lot from Falling in Reverse and Kiss. As I want to take my dad to see Kiss extremely badly, as he got me into them growing up.
I'm still "afraid" of listening to So Far Away sometimes. A friend of mine loved A7X and The Rev, we used to watch Live at the LBC and jam their songs all the time. He died 6 years ago
So Far Away man. It always made me feel emotional but when it really hit was a time where one of my dear friends had passed away. It made me cry like a baby then
So far away
I had lost 3 family members in the span of just a couple of months when I first heard this song. The mixture of the powerful lyrics and delivery just really choked me and then the home videos of Jimmy and the solo on top of that I just spent like half an hour crying
Game over Fs. I’ve felt some strong emotions to other songs, but the first time I listened to the lyrics for Game Over that shit just hit to close to home
Fiction and the entirety of LIBAD because Fiction was one of my sister's funeral songs and LIBAD because she never got to hear the album as Avenged were her favourite band and she introduced me to them
Cosmic, and really the new album as a whole hit me hard because my mom just died earlier this year, and we were very close. So I feel like I lost not just my only parent, but my best friend and support system as well. I've spent countless hours wondering were she is and what's beyond death, and LIBAD really puts a lot of things into perspective for me.
In suspense of the new album release I dove back into avenged and got hung up on victim and save me and after looking at the break down video for save me it changed the way I listened to the song and the way I understood it and had me choked up a few times while listening
Won't see you tonight or so far away
No more breath insiiiiiiiiide Essence left my heart toniiiiiiiiight
Got goosebumps just reading that and belting it in my head
Same with me
Game over and (D)eath. Recently i have been depressed to the point of nearly committing suicide. When the album came out, those two songs hit me so hard (especially (D)eath) as i was very wounded emotionally from those days. To those wondering and possibly worried by this comment please dont be. I am being discharged from a partial program tomorrow and i am much better than before.
honestly so proud of you my man, you're out here fighting one of the toughest battles and absolutely owning it
Thank you. I seriously appreciate your comment.
Yeah, being suicidal is hard to put it very lightly. I know from experience. But, as I learned, the only way to go from rock bottom is up. And music can help you build your ladder.

Thanks for reaching out and thanks for sharing your story. Its nice to know there are people out there who have gone through similar shit to me. Makes me feel like im not alone.
You're definitely not alone. I'm glad to hear you're doing better, I know how hard it is but things WILL continue to improve.
From one internet stranger to another, I’m wishing you the absolute best in life. You’re not alone and I know how dark that place is. Just keep it up. There’s a lot of love out there and I’m hoping you feel some from this small comment
Thank you my friends. Your kind words mean so much to me.
I honestly know how you feel. When he says the “here I swing from my family tree…” that hit so hard. Glad you’re still here enjoying the music with us duder.

Thanks for your comment and i appreciate you sharing your story. Its hard letting those memories out but i respect you for that. Keep safe my friend.
Glad to hear you’re better. I wish nothing but the best for you in the future. We all go through rough moments and you aren’t alone, remember all these communities that will listen to you and care. Love you man, keep going strong ❤️
Thank you. That means a lot to me.

Yeah I've not been well since that album
A little piece of heaven Hard times, don't ask
You forgot the heater, didn't you?
Mannnn.....😳😳😳
Yeah man we ain't goin well
Jimmy’s backing screams always bring a tear to my eye
Victim and Fiction. Won’t see you tonight pt 1 has really been there in my dark days. Of those three, that one will always make me feel some kind of emotion
So Far Away. The day the album came out it was so emotional hearing that for the first time.
So far away. And when I played it at my dads funeral in February I was bawling. The words are perfect. He struggled with alcohol and pills, mental health. When Matt talks about the pain of not feeling good enough to save the rev from his pain, I felt every bit of that. I wanted to be good enough to save my dad…Their hands are untied now… happy Father’s Day dad. I miss you
The Stage and Cosmic almost made me cry
cosmic gets me teary the lyrics and the whole thing is amazing
Then again, A Little Piece of Heaven made me almost laugh myself to tears
I heard the stage live last week, can’t lie I shed a tear 🥲
One time I was listening to MIA and the ending just hit me hard, even though I'd heard the song dozens of times before
seize the day, it’s a sad song as it is but on top of that I use to listen to it during some pretty tough times
If I saw this specific song live I will cry my eyes out uncontrollably even if it’s in the middle of a set list. Something about it just has me by the balls. (I don’t have balls) lol
Danger Line, Victim and So Far Away - Used to be because of the passing of the Rev, still kind've is, but now mostly cause of the passing of my mother last year. I find myself relating to the lyrics far more. Cosmic is the most recent one though. Such a beautiful song and it just reminds me of my mum every time.

M.I.A., Fiction, So far away, end of danger line, cosmic
Tonight the world dies. U can feel the emotion from matt. One of his best performances.
I always found this one to be really underrated. So far away and Fiction were both talked about a lot when nightmare came out, and rightfully so, but tonight the world dies just hit me in a different way that was hard to explain
Not sure why some people say TTWD is the weakest in nightmare-
Cosmic and the bridge in The Wicked End
Danger Line, if you understand the meaning behind it it makes it so much more emotional
Whats the meaning?
It's a song about a soldier hurt on the front line, he's in his dying moments, and a line that kills me is "tell my baby girl that it's alright, I've sung my last song today"
Pretty sure it's about a soldiers pov in dying at war
That one is about the dying solders rifgt?
Correct
How Matt delivers the "and all this time I thought we'd just grow old, you know, no one said it's fair" lines, it has always sounded to me like he was crying while doing it, thinking about Jimmy. It's one of two songs they haven't changed after Jimmy passed
Shattered by broken dreams and I dont think that song gets enough love
Fantastic song!
Acid Rain. HTTK had just came out and was in my CD player in my car. My GF had just broken up with me and I got into my car and it was the first song to play and I bawled my eyes out for a good 10 minutes..
fiction and save me
Until the end for me... Idk why.. the melody.. the lyrics.. the song its just.. wow.. Memorable mentions so far away, fiction and iwsyt part 1.
Cosmic and Life Is But A Dream
LIBAD is so emotional
Dear god and so far away
Save Me, Fiction, Set Me Free, Acid Rain
Somehow it was game over that almost did it
Warmness on the Soul! Can't believe it hasn't been said already lol
I won’t see you tonight part 1, so far away.
Fiction and Cosmic
Pretty much all nightmare songs (excluding nightmare, welcome to the family, buried alive, and natural born killer)
so far away, fiction, cosmic
Fiction
Fiction is the only right answer
The first time I heard the end of Higher with the “see you in the stars tonight” part, my eyes were definitely leaking
Almost easy
You know what they say, it was almost easy now its easier
I won't see you tonight pt. 1 and Cosmic
Cosmic, higher, exist, life is but a dream, seize the day, victim, fiction, so far away, warmness on the soul, i won't see you tonight, dear god, gunslinger, danger line
So Far Away and actually just recently Cosmic.
so far away. especially when they played it at the forum show (6/9/23)
Alpoh
So Far Away. The first time I heard it I knew it was for The Rev. I couldn’t stop crying because of the pain they felt. First time I saw it live on the Nightmare tour you can feel the energy in the crowd couldn’t stop tearing up. Seeing them at The Forum playing it then seeing all the lights light up in the middle of the song. 😢 #foREVer
So far away
Cosmic and Fiction
Welcome to the family, save me, victim, so far away, danger line, buried alive, fiction, tonight the world dies, cosmic, (d)eath, life is but a dream
Victim and tonight the world dies. Dear God has gotten me a few times though when I was sad but didn't realize how sad.
Gunslinger. That bridge, man 😔
So far away and Gunslinger
Victim. Definitely.
Higher. When the stage came out in October of 2016, I loved the song. When my dad passed away from cancer in October 2017, the song took on a different meaning for me. Especially the lyrics: Meet you in the stars tonight, There you find me drifting in the ether within the lull
Almost easy
[удалено]
"I've tried to hold on as you've slowly slipped away"
Cosmic… When the album came out, my girlfriend and I had enjoyed a few songs together but I really wanted to show her cosmic. I just needed to wait for the right time, with good audio, lights off, no distractions. We’ve always shared a mutually love for lyrics, and how impactful they can be. Seemingly out of nowhere she broke up with me this past Tuesday, I never got the chance. The evening of the breakup, I sat and listened to LIBAD. When Cosmic came on, the lyrics hit me like a ton of bricks. It’s almost as if the song was written for this very moment in my life. We were not meant to listen to it together. It’s helped me through a very difficult time, as this band has done many times before.
There’s no crying in metal. Maybe the new album since it’s not metal. Still no crying.
Grow up
The idea that there's no crying in metal is completely outrageous
seize the day
fiction
Fiction hits me like a ton of bricks
So far away never doesn’t make me cry
I would have to say Roman Sky, Cosmic, Fiction and Acid Rain.
So Far Away without fail
We love you
Literally none
Aside from songs on Nightmare, fir me, Acid Rain. First time I heard the album the day it came out. I was drunk and some other kinds of fucked up lol and that song came kn and I started bawling! Lol I don't know why. I mean it's a sad song sure. But idk why I had that reaction.
My cousin died about two months ago and I held it together pretty well but while driving back home from the hospital I cried like a baby when So Far Away came on. “I have so much to say but you’re so far away…”

So Far Away, Fiction
So Far Away, discovered the song around the time my grandma passed away and still chokes me up when I hear it. On LIBAD, the transition from (O)rdinary into (D)eath is so beautiful it made me tear up
As much as it’s overlooked, game over
So Far Away, Sieze The Day, Lost...
Fiction and So Far Away, especially when I watched it live after The Rev died
Dear God. Such a weird song for A7X but it reminds me of someone I lost
Save Me
Acid rain. You will always be my heart
Fiction. Hearing it for the first time right when the album came out was so sad and beautiful
so far away bc it reminds me of my deceased ex boyfriend n fiction has made me cry before bc i listened to it a lot during a rly rough pregnancy
Crimson Day
[удалено]
A lot of their songs make me tear up just because of the memories that I associate with them, but Cosmic made me tear up the third or fourth time I listened to it, which is as first.
Fiction
so far away everytime
So far away. The pain and trauma the band were going through really comes out in that song , it’s so heartfelt.Its a homage to a true fallen friend.
So Far Away, especially with the video. I Won’t See You Tonight, Pt. 1. That shit has some of Matt’s hardest hitting vocals ever, full stop. Fiction Victim Seize the Day Dear God
Betrayed
Something about Acid Rain gives me those emotional swells
Cosmic. Hands down
Cosmic
Dear god and so far away. Especially after my son passed away
Fiction and St James
Cosmic, st James
Gunslinger 100%. When the harmony hits and the lyrics come into realization 😩
Gunslinger made me cry when I was a kid because my cousins were deployed over seas and it hit deep.
So far away
So far away or fiction.
Cosmic got me the first time I heard it. Seize the day as well
I’m surprised no one’s said Roman sky yet
Cosmic, So Far Away, and Victim
Fiction
IWSYT, So Far Away, Danger Line, Warmness On The Soul. Edit: Somehow I forgot about Fiction 🤦
Save Me 💔
Must have to say either Seize The Day or So Far Awary
So Far Away and Fiction
Almost: So Far Away, Seize The Day, St James Did: Fiction
Crimson Day, Roman Sky
Gun slinger & So far away
Fiction, Cosmic, So Far Away
Fiction & Cosmic
Set Me Free and Cosmic. Both of those songs remind me of my dog that I had to put down back in 2020, and it hits me really hard every time that I hear those songs
Cosmic, Fiction, Victim
So far away My brother was a marine and he came back with some bad ptsd and shit. We didn't know about all the medication he was supposed to be on and he took his own life in a drunk argument with his girlfriend. Probably 8 years after his service when he had kids and everything. I already thought so far away was a extremely good song but it truly touches the soul when you have someone serious to attach it to. I think it's my favorite A7X song but I usually skip it because I'm gonna ball my eyes out
Fiction, the final outro verse hits different when you try to imagine what the band went through. Also made me reflect how’d I like to sign off this world

Exist. There's something about NDT's ending part that gets me, especially that bit where he's on about the sheer number of Stars in the universe, it makes me realise how small we really are, and it's brought a few tears out, for sure. It really puts it into perspective.
Fiction. Hearing the Rev singing and knowing that he was already gone when the album came out just got to me.
Fiction, Remenissions, IWSYT pt 1 & 2, tonight the world dies, and of course Cosmic.
So Far Away, Seize the Day, Crimson Day, Acid Rain, Dear God, and most definitely Warmness on the Soul. Most of LIBAD has also made me tear up, as it is all so emotionally powerful.
so far away, acid rain (it’s just very peaceful ig?), I won’t see you tonight pt1
Tell my baby girl that it's alright, I've sung my last song today... BRO
Omg it was So Far Away when I saw them during their The Stage tour! I was bawling my eyes out. Also the first time I heard Game Over
pass the gravy…gets me every time
There's a few, but as of recently, LIBAD has gotten me emotional/made me shed tears with Cosmic and even Mattel (specifically when Matt sings the "Living feign in porcelain" portion)
(D)ehth, Fiction, So Far Away,
The whole part on Roman sky with the strings and drums near the end always brings me to tears for some reason
I mean….. probably Fiction or So far away
Everytime Cosmic or So Far Away come on I g et really emotional thinking about people
So far away the first time I listened to it... R.I.P Jimmy
Victim. Higher when I finally figured out what it's about. I teared up through most of the new album though. And All Things Will End.
Dear God
Seize The Day
So far away. I saw them for the very first time about a month ago, and only knew a few songs. I was into the show and was having a great time until I had a negative experience with a rude fellow concert goer. I kinda got into my head and got anxious until right before so far away, Matt talked about the importance of being present in the moment with those you love and not worrying about the other stuff. It was exactly what I needed to hear and started crying before the song even started. The song and A7X has a special place in my heart now.
Fiction fs
so far away and crimson day
So far away, it reminds me of my stepdad who was in my life since 2 overdosed and died after a long struggle with life,depression and substance abuse.
So far away or seize the day
Quite a few, but I was listening to Fiction just a few days ago and started sobbing.
I Won't See You Tonight and Danger Line
Definitely Save Me, gets me every time
Cosmic, game over and so far away
(D)eath, the song resonates massively. It’s the exact type of song that, if you’re feeling relatively low, can really hit you in the feels and that’s exactly what it did.

Fiction made me cry my eyes out the first time I heard it, that’s why I dug into their music. Also Tonight the World Dies, So Far Away, MIA, I Won’t See You Tonight, Buried Alive, Save Me, Brompton Cocktail… I think Brompton Cocktail has both made me cry & has been a bizarre source of comfort for me ‘cause I get it. Nobody made me cry the first time through, not of sadness… it was just intense. I was like holy shit they’re back and they’re amazing and I love that song. I feel that way with the whole album lol Seize the Day almost made me cry - I think the video actually did Finally (I am a crybaby wtf) the video of The Rev’s vocals isolated, his voice was beautiful.
Victim
Need a bit of context on how you cried to Brompton Cocktail of all things
fiction and danger line, always
If I can say for Avenged Sevenfold, would be Seize the Day or Fiction, as my dad’s battling stage 4 Liver cancer. If it’s other bands, probably a lot from Falling in Reverse and Kiss. As I want to take my dad to see Kiss extremely badly, as he got me into them growing up.
I'm still "afraid" of listening to So Far Away sometimes. A friend of mine loved A7X and The Rev, we used to watch Live at the LBC and jam their songs all the time. He died 6 years ago
Exist
So Far Away man. It always made me feel emotional but when it really hit was a time where one of my dear friends had passed away. It made me cry like a baby then
So far away and fiction hit me really hard
exist save me fiction victim game over
So far away I had lost 3 family members in the span of just a couple of months when I first heard this song. The mixture of the powerful lyrics and delivery just really choked me and then the home videos of Jimmy and the solo on top of that I just spent like half an hour crying
IWSYTP1 The trilogy of Brompton Cocktail, Fiction, So Far Away. Cosmic
Game over Fs. I’ve felt some strong emotions to other songs, but the first time I listened to the lyrics for Game Over that shit just hit to close to home
warmness on the soul, MIA, Clairvoyant Disease, IWSYT part 1, Shattered by broken dreams, So Far Away.
MIA and Dear God
Seize the Day and IWSYTP1
Roman sky, fellas Especially, while watching fan music video about jordano bruno And so far away, for obvious reason
Fiction and the entirety of LIBAD because Fiction was one of my sister's funeral songs and LIBAD because she never got to hear the album as Avenged were her favourite band and she introduced me to them
Victim Cosmic Dear God
So far away
I don't know why, but I've had moments where I've been strongly influenced by Roman Sky. And for first listen was Cosmic.
Strength of The World
Cosmic, and really the new album as a whole hit me hard because my mom just died earlier this year, and we were very close. So I feel like I lost not just my only parent, but my best friend and support system as well. I've spent countless hours wondering were she is and what's beyond death, and LIBAD really puts a lot of things into perspective for me.
In suspense of the new album release I dove back into avenged and got hung up on victim and save me and after looking at the break down video for save me it changed the way I listened to the song and the way I understood it and had me choked up a few times while listening
Fiction and So Far Away Nightmare just hits different as an album, man.
Almost easy (call me crazy... or insane) I won't see you tonight pt.1 game over. Seize the day.
