I agree, only 2 comments?! This song is great from beginning to end. The main verse riff is so dark and haunting, with splashes of color. I'm tempted to say my favorite track on Wages of Sin. Skillfully crafted from beginning to end, and the lyrics are fittingly existential too. |

Just wanted to point out what a scorching solo Synyster Gates plays on this one! Truly memorable, beautiful phrased, some really evocative note choices. Ends it all by making his guitar |

This is a great song! I love all the melodic breaks. I think this song is about the constant conflict that is life. Individuals struggle against individuals, groups of people struggle with another, countries fight other countries. Animals struggle with each other, with people, with environmental degradation. Even within families, there are struggles to be heard, and struggles for love, appreciation and respect. One must be prepared for conflict at all turns.
The fight to control and to not be controlled is evident at all levels of life, and it is unrelenting. Even the laws of thermodynamics suggest that one must constantly do battle in order to maintain one's integrity.
I think this song captures this beautifully, from the grinding verses to the sparks of melodic beauty in the chorus and breaks. There are always pockets of victory and beauty strewn amongst the conflict. Those moments are to be savored, especially because they are fleeting. |
