Turn The Other Way Lyrics
Slit my wrists, take away the pain.
Slit my throat, everyone’s to blame.
Lost in the fields of confusion.
Restless nights, they're not far away.
I came here for something and I'm not turning back.
A calm piece of mind but you still hold my keys.
Keeping my fate deep within your threshold.
Petty inconvenience but it means the world to me.
You have the power.
To set me free.
Caught in your grasp, how?
Just let me be.
Give me control out.
Out of these depths.
A fiery hell.
I pray for death.
I've been the wrong one time and time again.
Now I'm on my knees forgive me please.
Tore out my heart and handed to me on a silver platter.
Sew up the hole, emptiness in the place of compassion.
You made me this way.
I am the product of your creation.
Look the other way.
Now you've turned your back on me.
You've turned away from me, the future's much to far away to see.
I hope you learn the truth, not the way things were meant to be with me and you.
Slit my throat, everyone’s to blame.
Lost in the fields of confusion.
Restless nights, they're not far away.
I came here for something and I'm not turning back.
A calm piece of mind but you still hold my keys.
Keeping my fate deep within your threshold.
Petty inconvenience but it means the world to me.
You have the power.
To set me free.
Caught in your grasp, how?
Just let me be.
Give me control out.
Out of these depths.
A fiery hell.
I pray for death.
I've been the wrong one time and time again.
Now I'm on my knees forgive me please.
Tore out my heart and handed to me on a silver platter.
Sew up the hole, emptiness in the place of compassion.
You made me this way.
I am the product of your creation.
Look the other way.
Now you've turned your back on me.
You've turned away from me, the future's much to far away to see.
I hope you learn the truth, not the way things were meant to be with me and you.

okay the last comment upsets me because you don't see what they put into this song, sure its easy to critisize, and thats not what this is here for, so i am not going to dwell on this, the song is obviously about suicide. he is saying he has done everything for her, and loved her, she meant everything to him. and she did somthing to him, most likely just broke up with him and now that is just how he feels

This is the greatest metal band in the whole world and one of the greatest songs of theirs, dont know why i am the first one to write about it.... i guess people are lame... Avenged forever! hah, jk. They're just soooo amazing! (and i saw them in a recond store in Reno... hmmm... big time teehee)

despite the fact that they call themselves heavy fucking metal, they're more like metallic hardcore...but either way, yeah, Avenged Sevenfold are incredible. one of my favorite bands. words cannot express how truely awesome these guys are.
man this shits Krazy! it fucks with ya
this song is fucken amazing - one of my favorite on the cd and shows off m shadows amazing range of screaming as well as singing
This is one of there best songs off there album
it just frickin rules
I don't think it is about suicide I think the first 2 lines are just saying what the girl makes him feel like doing; it's really just about how this girl makes him feel.
"You have the power. To set me free. Caught in your grasp, how? Just let me be. "
That bits the best bit of the entire album
He is in an abusive relationship, and feels like the only way out is in her hands (unless he kills himself). He wants her to "turn the other way" and get out of his life. He blames her for the state he is in.
I only like from 3:51 on... the rest of the song is pretty much worthless to me.
