Cover art for Scream lyrics by Avenged Sevenfold

I think this song is a reference to the scream movie. The reason for this is just before they play this live in the LBC video they play what I believe is to be an exerpt from the movie and it makes sense.

Caught up in this madness too blind to see Woke animal feelings in me Took over my sense and I lost control I'll taste your blood tonight

The slasher man from the movie has done something that was terrible and cant see that he has done wrong He has an animal feeling to keep on hunting the prey He can no longer control the urge to kill He will murder a victim tonight

You know I make you wanna scream You know I make you wanna run from me baby but know it's too late you've wasted all your time

The woman is wanting to scream but doesnt want to She keeps running from him But she realises that she has wasted her time when its too late

Relax while you're closing your eyes to me So warm as I'm setting you free With your arms by your side there's no struggling Pleasure's all mine this time

She closes her eyes before she dies He's killing her, setting her free Hes killed her with her arms by her side and theres no struggling He gets the pleasure out of killing her

Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring Cover me, unwanted clemency Scream till there's silence Scream while there's life left, vanishing Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire perishing

The slasher is cherishing the pleasuring feeling The women/people are getting covered and their bodies have given up but they dont want to They keep screaming until he kills them They keep screaming while they have life left in them, while he kills them The people are screaming and the killer is showing the pleasure of killing them

We've all had a time where we've lost control We've all had our time to grow I'm hoping I'm wrong but I know I'm right I'll hunt again one night

He's saying that everyone has lost control during their lives That all people have had time to grow Dont quite get third line He'll hunt again

Some live repressing their instinctive feelings Protest the way we're built don't point the blame on me

The people that live are using their instincts to guide them People are protesting how were builts and theyre blamming him for doing what hes doing

Scream, Scream, Scream the way you would if I ravaged your body Scream, Scream, Scream the way you would if I ravaged mind

The people are screaming like they would if he was either raping them or killing them slowly I dont really get 4th line

So thats my opinion to the meaning. feel free to correct me it is always good to learn by mistakes.

Song Meaning

@screama7x That's definitely not an excerpt from any Scream movie nor is the song about the movie.
