Nobody Lyrics

Ride in the shadows, wondering beyond the frame
Float like a feather through space and time outside a dream
Pirouette with divinity in a dance we've shared before
"Someone dissolution"
This is "I am all" as "I am none"
Here we fly so high, no I, no coming down

Shedding weight as I'm coming undone
All that's left converging as one
I'm the sun
I'm the sun, yeah

I'm a God
I'm awake
I'm the one in everything
I'm alive
I'm the dead
I'm a man without a head

I walk with death in final exhalation
and come apart through violent separation
a thousand floors ascend into the ether
A lunatic enchanted by the reaper
and down below I leave a stranger laying
lifeless as the light begins to shatter the skies
I ascend and leave behind the "used to be"
And tear the fabric worn to cover my eyes (and see)
(I see, I see) nobody

Breathe in the silence
Ebb & flow among the waves
Blur on the spectrum
In light come dark in equal phase
All I ever was, has been and always will be

Here I am as I started again
Beyond death and borne on the wind
I'm the sun
I'm the sun, yeah

I'm a God
I'm awake
I'm the one in everything
I'm alive
I'm the dead
I'm a man without a head

A crack in the darkness
A tear in the sky
A narrowmoment when we find ourselves
And all we occupy
Return to the boundless
Immerse in the free
Letting go as you lose your name
And all you've known to be

Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody

Cover art for Nobody lyrics by Avenged Sevenfold

A7X's upcoming 8th album will draw from the existential text of Albert Camus' 1942 philosophical novella 'The Stranger' which centers on an emotionally detached and amoral anti-hero Meursault, who, shortly after his mother's funeral, kills a unnamed man in Algiers, & then faces his own execution for the crime with a sense of peace, accepting the meaninglessness of life and death in an absurd universe. "Nobody" appears to play on these themes, with even its title a seeming nod to Meursault's status as a "stranger" not only to society but also to himself.
