Me (Plural)

Joan of Arc

sleeperholds headlocks and cross body blocks it's over / done and what are we all these all night campaings through lightlessness but spinelight a blink and cheeks our half asleep big hopes and half plans mirrored nearly infinite a little smalltalk we pretend we exist don't test me the kids is dead and i'm left confusing me for who you think i am they all think they know it's wrong and they all know they think it's wrong maybe everything we meant to be di'nt need to end so mean i'm working on learning now to do nothing learning better leavings and left alones don't test me the kids is dead and i'm left confusing me for who you think i am we pretend we exist even though we all know the kids is dead

    I can't believe no one has commented on this song. For sure the standout track on "Live in Chicago, 1999". Note: Jen Wood's amazing back up vocals & the use of the hip-hop cliche "Don't Test Me", even the beginning lines are somehow seem a deconstruction of rap lyrics to me.

    I beg to differ on that, I think, if it feels good/ do it, is the standout track, but that's just a matter of taste. This song beautiful, though.

Avenged Sevenfold
Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
