Not ready To Die Lyric by A7X

Gone cast away in time
Evil yours, now evil mine
So I robbed you blind, the voices
in my head could jest a less than
peaceful side

The endless possibilities
controlling every fight

You can’t break me, crushed the
fears of yesterday
You can’t change me, barriers our trust will fade.

I’ve stood in the dark, been
waiting all this time
While we damn the dead I’m
trying to survive, I’m not ready to die

Damned, watch the masses fall
Burn it down, control ‘em all
Make me crawl, to daddy’s little
girl to read the writings on the wall

While cast into the nothingness
the final curtain call

You can’t break me, crushed the
fears of yesterday
You can’t change me, barriers our trust will fade.
 

I’ve stood in the dark, been waiting all this time
While we damn the dead I’m
trying to survive, I’m not ready to die

Through the madness we find
loyalty is no match for power
Save your body or lie, left to rot in
your darkest hour
Friends won’t help you now as long as your mine

You can’t break me, crushed the
fears of yesterday
You can’t change me, barriers our trust will fade.

I’ve stood in the dark, been
waiting all this time
While we damn the dead I’m
trying to survive

And I’ll control the world one
person at a time
As I damn the dead I’m trying to
survive, I’m not ready to die

Oh!

I’m not ready to die
I’m not ready to die !!
I’m not ready to die !!

I’m not ready to die !!!!

So Far Away Music Video A7X

This is new music video from Avenged Sevenfold, So Far Away. Videonya emang dedicated buat The Rev banget. Cekidot!

A Goat Tale

Bunga/Dodo/Charlie

Kalo ga salah waktu gw SD atau SMP —gw lupa— gw pernah punya kambing hitam. Kambing hitam sungguhan, bukan kambing hitam yang lain. Jadi, bokap gw tu punya temen yang namanya Nono. Gw manggil dia Om Nono. Gw sempat kepikiran, ada ga orang yang namanya Yesyes. Kalo ada, kasih tau gw ya. 

Om Nono ni orang nya baiiiiiik banget. Kalo datang ke rumah sering bawa makanan. Ini bukan berarti gw nilai kebaikan orang dari makanan ya. Bukan. Absolutely no. 

Pada suatu hari, Om Nono ni datang lagi ke rumah. Tapi yang beda dari kedatanngannya kali itu, dia ga bawa makanan melainkan kambing. Gw penasaran sampe sekarang apa alasannya Om Nono bawa kambing ke rumah. Dia bilang kalo kambing itu buat adek gw. Hmmm… atau jangan-jangan karena bau adek gw yang rada mirip kambing gitu ya? Mungkin juga sih. 

Jadilah semenjak hari itu gw, bokap, nyokap, dan kedua adek gw bahu-membahu ngerawat kambing itu. Gw ga sempat kasih dia nama. Sebut aja namanya Bunga. Tiba-tiba aja kami sekeluarga jadi punya profesi tambahan sebagai pengembala kambing. Nyokap sering bawa Bunga ke lahan rumput deket rumah. Aduh, kalo dipikir-pikir ga cocok banget ya namanya Bunga. Bau nya itu ga match. Ganti deh, berhubung yang ngasih namanya Nono, kita kasih aja namanya Dodo. 

Gw juga sering jagain Dodo kalo lagi ngerumput sambil minum jus jeruk. Tapi yang bikin gw sebel, bau Dodo tu emang ga enak. Bau kambing. Apalagi kalo gw pegang talinya, tangan gw jadi bau neraka. Eh bentar, kalo ga salah Dodo itu semacam nama burung kan? Ganti lagi deh. Gimana kalo kita kasih namanya Charlie. Ini ga ada hubungannya sama vokalis es teh dua gelas itu ya. Kalo pun ada, mungkin karena memang sedikit ada kemiripan wajah. 

Hari demi hari pun berlalu. Ga kerasa udah lebih dari tiga bulan Charlie bersama kami. Mulailah terjadi kesialan-kesialan di hidup Charlie. Di antaranya, Charlie pernah termakan rumput yang udah diracun. Abiz itu matanya tiba-tiba penuh kotoran kaya abis dikencingi kodok gitu. Trus, mungkin karena matanya yang udah agak rabun, Charlie sering banget makanin sampah plastik. Pernah waktu itu gw mergokin Charlie lagi ngunyah-ngunyah plastik di mulutnya. Langsung gw tarik tu plastik dari mulutnya, tapi si Charlie kaya ga rela kalo plastiknya gw ambil. Terjadilah tarik menarik antara gw dan Charlie. Dan pertempuran ini dimenangin oleh Charlie. Doi berhasil nelen plastic dengan sukses. 

Gw heran, gw bingung. Apa yang membuat Charlie jadi berubah selera dari rumput ke plastik? Apakah dia sedang ditimpa masalah? Apakah Charlie sedang galau seperti yang dialami abege-abege labil lainnya? Entahlah, yang jelas dari hari ke hari keadaan Charlie semakin mengkhawatirkan. Tubuhnya kurus, doi ga nafsu makan. Jujur gw sedih banget ngeliat dia. Sampe sekarang gw penasaran tentang kondisi plastik yang ditelannya dulu. Berhubung output-nya Charlie tu bentuknya bulat-bulat kaya coklat. Huuueeek. 

Dan beginilah akhir dari kisah Charlie. Ga berapa lama setelah itu Charlie pun menghembuskan nafas terakhirnya. Gw ga liat langsung. Tapi seandainya waktu diputar kembali, gw akan berusaha membahagiakan lo Charlie. Gw sedih. Selamat jalan Charlie. Semoga kau tenang di sisi-Nya dan mendapatkan makanan yang lebih layak. Amin.

Tempat Terlarang Untuk Menaruh Handphone

Coba deh perhatiin artikel ini, coz ternyata ponsel gak bisa ditaruh ditempat sembarangan. Cekidot… 

1. Jangan Taruh Dalam Saku Bagi para pria yg senang meletakkan ponsel di saku celana, sebaiknya dipikir ulang dech.. Alasannya, ponsel menghasilkan paparan medan elektrostatik & elektromagnetik yang mengakibatkan infertilitas (ketidaksuburan) lelaki. 

2. Jangan Letakkan Bersama Barang Elektronik Jangan gunakan ponsel ketika sinyal lemah dekat dengan barang elektronik berpresisi tinggi. Barang elektronik mengeluarkan medan elektonik yg tinggi yaitu, TV, oven, kulkas, dll.. Perangkat berdaya listrik tinggi dapat merusak sirkuit ponsel terbakar. 

3. Dilarang Dekat Kunci Mobil Dalam keadaan tertentu, ponsel yang digunakan dalam kendaraan akan memberikan dampak merusak terhadap peralatan elektronik kendaraan. Ponsel yang diletakkan terlalu dekat dengan kunci mobil ternyata bisa menghapus kode elektronik yang ada di kunci tersebut. 

4. Jangan Posisikan Dekat Komputer Komputer & ponsel sama-sama memancarkan gelombang elektromagnetik. Jika berada dalam jarak yang dekat, maka keduanya akan saling merusak. Anda tidak ingin kan langsung kehilangan dua benda favorit anda ? 

5. Jangan Simpan di Tempat Bersuhu Tinggi Tempat bersuhu tinggi, kelembaban tinggi, & berdebu merupakan kumpulan musuh ponsel anda.. Mungkin anda tdk menyadari sering “menjemur” ponsel anda di dashboard mobil, dekat jendela & bagasi. 

6. Hindari Meletakkan Kartu SIM Dekat Magnet Bahaya kartu SIM dekat dg benda-benda mengandung magnet karena radiasi yang ditimbulkan. Ponsel bisa merusak floppy disk, kartu memori, & kartu kredit anda. 

7. Jauhkan Dari Logam Hindari ponsel dari benda logam kecil karena magnet pada speaker ponsel anda akan menarik benda-benda tersebut. Ponsel anda bisa mengalami cidera fisik/kerusakan. 

8. Jangan Dekat Alat Pacu Jantung Rumah Sakit memang bukan tempat yang baik untuk menggunakan ponsel. Selain alasan pasien butuh ketenangan, peralatan media seperti alat bantu dengar & alat pacu jantung dpt terganggu. Jangan sampai anda membunuh orang dengan ponsel yang anda miliki. 

9. Jangan Tempatkan Dekat Gas yg Mudah Terbakar Gas berbahaya karena memiliki tekanan tinggi dan mudah terbakar. Berada dengan gas yang mudah terbakar bisa mengakibatkan ponsel tidak dapat berfungsi dengan baik. 

10. Hindari Daerah Basah Rasanya kita semua sadar betapa bahayanya air bagi ponsel. Air juga musuh kamera ponsel.. Apalagi saat musim hujan, bisa mengundang banyak resiko. Bagi pengendara sepeda motor, segera selamatkan ponsel anda dengan menyimpan di tempat yg kedap air saat hujan tiba.

Sepatu dan Kodrat Wanita

 

        vs

Beberapa bulan terakhir gw bertahan dengan sepatu ajaib gw. Saking ajaibnya, walopun sepatunya selalu nganga dan gw ga pernah niat buat ngasih makan, tetap aja dia nganga dengan sabar. Ajaib kan? 

Dan akhirnya dua minggu yang lalu gw memutuskan untuk mempesiunkannya dengan menggantinya dengan yang baru. Awalnya gw berniat beli sneakers ato kets ato apalah namanya, kaya biasa, namun nyampe di sana sohib gw berhasil ngerayu gw buat beli sepatu cewek. Flat shoes yang bener-bener cewek. 

Secara selama ini gw terbiasa make kets. Sohib gw ngerayu gw dan nyebut-nyebut soal “umur dan kodrat sebagai wanita”. Dia hebat, bisa ceramah soal kodrat wanita hanya karena sepatu. Bayangin, she said wanita instead of cewek. 

Dan gw beneran beli sepatu itu. Setelah beberapa hari gw makenya, gw nyesel. Sepatu itu berhasil bikin kaki gw diplester sana sini. Sama sekali ga nyaman makenya. Sampe-sampe ada temen gw yang bilang “tanda-tanda kiamat sudah dekat” sambil nunjuk sepatu gw. Ada juga yang ketawa ngakak sambil bilang “sejak kapan sepatu lo pake pita-pita segala?”. 

Tetep aja kets is the best. Kets menjamin kaki lo ga bakal lecet. Gw ga peduli sama kodrat wanita. Gw Cuma pengen kenyamanan.

Fiction Lyrics

Banyak yang bilang lagu Fiction ini adalah Suicide Note yang ditinggalkan The Rev. Gw abis baca komen dari fans a7x ini, n sedih bgt...

XelaSteele

I agree almost completely with Garte13's post. From what I've seen on Youtube comments, many people seem to outright reject the possibility that the Rev committed suicide because they don't want to believe it. But I think this song makes it very tragically clear. The straightforward lyrics and the fact that the song was turned in only three days before he died aren't the only suggestions of suicide. He wrote this song nine years before for Pinkly Smooth and ONLY decided to turn it in to A7x a short time before he died. When he turned it in (this is only what I heard) he told Shadows "That's it, the last song" and walked out. He told people when he was only 15 that he'd die before 30. Medication overdose is an extremely common way of killing yourself, and it's universally known that oxycotin and alcohol is a fatal combination. The Rev took pain medications for a serious heart condition for a very long time, and the disease probably caused him a lot of pain and suffering, which may even mean that he had contemplated suicide long before (this would explain the 'dying before 30' comment). Basically, even if you don't believe he DELIBERATELY overdosed himself, it's pretty obvious by the fact that he wrote this song that he KNEW he was going to die. And of course the lyrics in So Far Away and Save Me suggest that the band knew it (for a long time, even, who knows) and were deeply saddened but most likely respected his decision.

(Of course, for all I know this could all be just a big stretch, a big speculation, as we'll never find out. If Jimmy did kill himself, A7x wouldn't want it to go public, and I would understand them, because people are such dicks about it. From the Youtube comments you can quickly tell that many people wouldn't respect his decision to end his pain. So I'm just stating things that back up my hypothesis but I'm not establishing it as fact. It's just the feeling I get from all these insinuations...)

What I don't completely agree with is Garte's interpretation of this verse, although his does also make sense.

Not that I could
Or that I would
Let it burn
Under my skin
Let it burn

In my opinion, Jimmy's making a reference to the heart problem (cardiomegaly) that's been causing his pain. He's saying here that he wouldn't, and couldn't, let "it" (the disease) continue to burn under his skin. He just didn't want it to keep making him suffer, so he decided to end it once and for all by taking his life and going to the peace just on the other side...

It's tragic that he had to go so early. In a world where talent in music is rare and undervalued, it hits even harder that such a multifaceted, versatile, skillful, unique and talented musician is gone foREVer. I regret never having seen A7x in concert while the Rev was still alive. A7x is practically a perfect band, with phenomenally and equally gifted members, and it may sound corny, but you can't deny that without the Rev, some of that perfection is lost... while Portnoy is an extremely good replacement, it'll never be the same again. The Rev's voice and composition skills were unique to him.

That being said, however, I have been greatly empowered by the ability of the remaining A7x members to carry on... their unbelievable strength in overcoming this loss is very inspiring and admirable to me, and comforts me in some way. This is why I love both the band and its music. The music can express such a wide range of emotions, and the band members are emotionally strong with great character and a great devotion to their fans.

Although I think it's terrible that Jimmy killed himself, it doesn't change my respect for him as a very extraordinarily talented musician. And I respect his decision.

Yeah, The Rev's stll the best..!  


Fiction

Now I think I understand
How this world can overcome a man
Like a friend we saw it through
In the end I gave my life for you

Gave you all I had to give
Found a place for me to rest my head
While I may be hard to find
Heard there's peace just on the other side

Not that I could
Or that I would
Let it burn
Under my skin
Let it burn

Left this life to set me free
Took a piece of you inside of me
All this hurt can finally fade
Promise me you'll never feel afraid

Not that I could
Or that I would
Let it burn
Under my skin
Let it burn

I hope it's worth it, here on the highway, yeah
I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you

So tell everybody, the ones who walk beside me, yeah
I hope you'll find your own way when I'm not with you tonight

I hope it's worth it, what's left behind me, yeah
I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you

So tell everybody, the ones who walk beside me, yeah
I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you tonight

Avenged Sevenfold - Welcome To The Family (Lyric)

Hey kids! (hey kids)
Do I have your attention?
I know the way you've been living
Life's so reckless, tragedy endless
Welcome to the family

Hey!
There's something missing
Only time will alter your vision
Never in question, lethal injection
Welcome to the family

Not long ago you find the answers were so crystal clear
Within a day you find yourself living in constant fear
Can you look at yourself now, can you look at yourself?
You can't win this fight

In a way it seems there's no one to call
When our thoughts are so numb
Our feelings unsure
We all have emptiness inside, we all have answers to find
But you can't win this fight!

Hey kids! (hey kids)
I have to question
What's with the violent aggression
Details blurry, lost him too early
Welcome to the family

Hey!
Why won't you listen?
Can't help the people you're missing
It's been done, a casualty rerun
Welcome to the family

I try and help you with the things that can't be justified
I need to warn you that there is no way to rationalize
So have you figured it out now, so have you figured it out?
You can't win this fight

And in a way it seems there's no one to call
When our thoughts are so numb
Our feelings unsure
We all have emptiness inside, we all have answers to find
But you can't win this fight!

Here for you and all mankind,
I've lost my mind
Psychotic rounds in to dementia
I won't be fine

I see your escaping down a steep road
Cast out in a world you'll never know
Stand there, place your weapon by your side
It's a war the end, we'll surely lose but that's alright
So have you figured it out now, so have you figured it out?

And in a way it seems there's no one to call
When our thoughts are so numb
Our feelings unsure
We all have emptiness inside, we all have answers to find
But you can't win this fight

Deep inside where nothing's fine
I've lost my mind
You're not invited, so step aside
I've lost my,
Deep inside where nothing's fine
I've lost my mind
You're not invited, so step aside
I've lost my...

Avenged Sevenfold - Save Me (Lyric)

LET'S GO!

(We all know, we all know!)

Sorry, did I wake your dreams?
Some questions run to me
We only, only wake up when we sleep
Met by the lunar light, trouble's all we find
Lost our way tonight

Is it something we said?
Is it something we said to them?
Is it something we said?!

(Save me)
Entrapped in a vile world
(Save me)
Where the endings are the same as every other
We're only here to die
(Save me)
I'm losing my only dream
(Save me)
I can use some guiding light, some place to go
If you hear me, let me know

(We all know, we all know!)

Ever since the day you left my fate's being set unknown
How many years to walk this path alone
So much to see tonight, so why'd you close your eyes?
Why can't I shut mine?

Is it something we did?
Is it something we did to them?
Is it something we did?!

(Save me)
Entrapped into a vile world
(Save me)
Where the endings are the same as every other
We're only here to die
(Save me)
I'm losing my only dream
(Save me)
I can use some guiding light, some place to go
If you hear me, let me know
If you hear me, let me know

Help me find my way
So, help me find my way

No pulse inside of me, stone cold lips and heresy
All lies into a degree, losing you I wanna be
You'll find out, right now
He may be out of his mind
But someday you will find, that sanity has left us all blind
And dragged us all behind, a moment seen with those eyes
Crystal blue skies, they say that all beauty must die
I say it just moves on

If you only open your mind, then someday you will find
That sanity left us behind, and walk right through the dark
I can see the picture's clear as yesterday, pictures of my own
I can hear the voices begging you to stay, but know you're not alone.

(Save me)
Entrapped into a vile world
(Save me)
Where the endings are the same as every other
We're only here to die
(Save me)
I'm losing my only dream
(Save me)
I can use some guiding light, some place to go
If you hear me, let me know
If you hear me, let me know

Tonight we all die young. [6x]
Tonight we all die
Tonight we all die young!
