okay, no... good guess but no... it is about a man who dies, and goes to heaven. he realizes that he died at the wrong time and never settled the affairs he made on earth, he needed to get back to earth to fix everthing and then he can go back... music vid came out, watch ull see.

all right i think both of you are right in your own respect.

the song is about a man that ODed on purpose and instead of going to heaven or hell he was sent to purgatory. While in purgatory God and Satan tell him to observe the "highlights" of his own life. When he is done over looking all the good and bad decisions and actions of his life, HE (not God or Satan) makes the choice if he is more suited for heaven or hell. But instead of choosing one or the other he "escapes" from purgatory to...

im making my own video for the song and ill send you guys/girls the youtube link when im done with it so it can fill-in any holes in my interpretation.
and im making the video because i really didnt like A7X's because i feel it didnt really explain anything, they skipped the string intro and the "Loved ones back home all crying" verse. but thats my opinion
Its not about drugs. The narrator dies with the one he loves, maybe of heartbreak because she died, but when he gets to heaven with her, he doesn't feel like he belongs there yet. he tells her "nothing against you, surely ill miss you." and "take me back inside (heaven/your arms) when the time is right. Hes telling his girl that he'll miss her and that he loves her, but he has to leave her because it isn't his time to go yet.

Simple. Momento mori. It means having unfinished business. He's choked on ecstasy, which is a drug (surprise!). The entire song is a plea to a) God, and b) a girl who has already died to let him go back and finish his business, to "reconcile his differences with family and friends" (look at their bio on avengedsevenfold.com, click on info on the bottom). Other thing that I saw on a comment, critical acclaim is NOT an anti-war song. It's anti-politics, but it has nothing to do with war. The closest this album has to an anti-war song is Lost, talking...

he cant be in purgatory because he potrays it as being in a perfect place and purgatorys just a temporary place of kind of nothing. and it could possibly be about drugs.

it's how a man follows his love into heaven when her time has passed, only to realise that everyone has their own time and all he has to accomplish back in his life.

It's almost creepy, the comparisons between this song and the rev's death. This is one of a couple of songs he wrote. His backing vocals, in my opinion, are the best part of the song. shadows is lucky the rev wasnt the lead singer!

how do you figure it was about an OD? and he didn't die with a loved one, he wanted to get back to that loved one and finish business but he couldn't. that's what the laugh is about. it makes him thinks he's going back but he's actually not

simple. it about an accidental drug overdose. and the narrarator wants to go back to earth.
