| | Afterlife Lyrics Artist(Band):Avenged Sevenfold
so unsure but it seems, ’cause we’ve been waiting for you Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be Arrived too early And when I think of all the places I just don't belong I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife ’Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain Can leave this place but refrain, ’cause we've been waiting for you Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall) No pain or sign of time (I’m much too young to fall) So out of place don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign I've made up my mind Gave me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife ’Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might take me back inside when the time is right Loved ones back home all crying ’cause they're already missing me I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be (I am unbroken; I’m choking on this ecstasy) Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me (Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live) (Fast Guitar Solo) (Screaming) (Laughing) I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife ’Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might take me back inside when the time is right If you find some error in Afterlife Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Afterlife true afterlife | Reviewer: cakes | 11/6/09 this is a great song. its so great its like every great song coined into one. the guitar solo could have been a song to itself without a word being said. the video gives clarity as to the true meaning of the song. my take is that the someone girl is dead and in heaven and in heaven and he is about to meet the same faith. however as much as he is fund of the fact reaching heaven and be with the one he loves he still thinks this occurred all too early. so he is asking for a second chance go to finish his time on earth hoping that God will take him back when time is right. my take. cheers metalicizer | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/31/09 This song rocks! All the instruments sound great, and the vocals are sweet. M.'s voice is awesome. Not to mention the sweet strings intro. The songs set-up is perfect, and it's not too long so you won't get bored. This Song !!! | Reviewer: Ally | 9/23/09 this song has got to be the best song i have EVER heard in my life !! the lyrics arnt just about random crap !! these lyrics they write come from somewhere deep inside !! if you cant see that wen you read these lyrics, you have no soul !! this band is for real !! they dont just sing one verse and use it again and again !! they sing about all their lives and what THEY feel !! PEACE !! Review | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/7/09 Well, theres obviously heaps of different interpretations as mentioned below, and it can have a different meaning to different people depending on past experiences, opinions and maybe even religion. But the way I see it is that someone has lost his girlfriend for whatever reason (meaning shes died). So the guy misses her to the point where he kills himself to be with her in the "afterlife". Directly after the intro solo and chorus when Shadows is like "Like walking into a dream..." and "A place of hope and no pain..." I think this is coming from the gf/wife/whatever, implying that heaven is such a great place and that he should stay with her. The chorus, however, comes from the dude, saying that he doesn't belong in the afterlife and has a life to live. He says that he doesn't want to leave because of her, but because there are more important things on earth that need to be done before he dies, but at the same time, hopes he can return "when the time is right" - when he's ready to die. The bridge where the Rev sings is also addressing the fact that there are other people on earth that miss him (friends and family). He says that he wants to be the person he truly is and wants another chance to live life and express that personality. The Rev also says that he is almost revolted by all of these good things in heaven and wants to return home, and wants another chance to live. And yer, thats it in a nutshell, I could go on for days about what the song is about and break it down to the last word, but Ive got homework to do atm and strictly speaking, i shouldnt be on this site but meh :P Hope this could bring a bit of understanding to some people though and yerssss. Have a good one (Y) Afterlife? | Reviewer: Alvin | 8/30/09 All of us has a self-realization about this song but even we have different point of views. . .We have one thing in common. . .This song is amazing , awesome and very good. . .From its lyrics,the way m.Shadows sang it,the guitar solo which is very, very hard to play,i start studying this song for 3 months now.! . .But still i can not finish it .. .Syn is one of the greatest guitarist today because of the melody of his guitar solos And the rev , the best drummer of this new generation of metal bands around the world. . . . It's the melody and message of the song that makes it a great song!!!Not only the instruments are great.. . .That 's i really liked most about a7x. . Their good not only in instruments but also good in writing great songs. . . Songs that have lessons, beautiful message. . . And one thing i would like to elaborate. .. Those who say that linking park is better than a7x. . .If you are a better guitar player or drummer. . Then you would see a very great difference. . .I must say that a7x is better a lot from linking park. . From guitars to drums.compare the lead guitarists and the drummers. . .The vocals are both amazing. . , . . . . . Uhmf. Keep safe all !! God bless! afterlife | Reviewer: casey | 7/16/09 to me this song lyric is about a man. who is close to death and hasnt lived his life to the full extent. and something happens to him that shows him that he doesnt have nuch time left in his life. and hes saying that instead of living as to give up theres no time left to complete his succesful life he changes everything to where he feels it all belongs. afterlife | Reviewer: casey | 7/16/09 this band is so amazing.afterlife has great lyric.ive been trying to learn this song on guitar for like 4 months and i still cant. great solo's.this song i can relate to except im not dieing..... casey , 13, im a girl! ( someone thought iw as a boy on another thing i left cuz the way i talk) A7X | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/4/09 I think this could mean any downfall (depression, death of someone, near-death experience, addiction, rejection, defeat, etc.) that resulted to a realization of a wasted or incomplete life... the chorus presents a new hope or another chance for him/her to make a change... struggling for a new life, or simply livin' a life he/she wants upto this part of the song: "take me back inside when the time is right" -wherein he/she may take a rest(death)after a life well lived. ...I love this song, I play it over and over again during my training or workin' out... inspires me a lot... haha lol ;p afterlife | Reviewer: john | 5/1/09 amazing song. to me it's about a guy in a near-death experience. as he's moving closer to the light, he starts to look back on his life and he realises he hasn't become the person he wants to be, and as sweet as heaven may seem to him, he has to refuse death and live his life to the fullest before he can come back. The Real Meaning Lyric wise | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/21/09 Its about a person who goes into the Afterlife who has lost his wife or spouse and realizes he was a crappy person and wants to go back to straighten things up. That's why it says "I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife ’Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here" Review By Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 Review the song Afterlife The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
