| Avenged Sevenfold – M.I.A. Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| This song is about the state of mind of a soldier in the situation of being M.I.A. They of course make a reference to current war with "... I shot a mother right in front of her son" but the purpose of Avenged is to make the song timeless. You could take this concept and apply it to war in general. They now have 3 songs about soldiers in war and each describes a different mindset or experience. This one is about the inner conflict that a soldier faces. M.I.A. is about how you live with yourself as a human being when so much of your life was committed to the atrocities of war and murder. Gunslinger is about a man who just cares about making it home to his family. And Danger Line is about a young man who goes into war with the familiar teenage feeling of invincibility and finds out the hard way that he is far from it. | |
