Avenged Sevenfold
Afterlife lyrics

Songwriters: Baker, Zachary James; Haner, Brian Elwin Jr; Sanders, Matthew Charles; Sullivan, James Owen

Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen
So unsure but it seems, 'cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway

I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right
Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be
Arrived too early

And when I think of all the places I just don't belong
I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far

I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here

A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain, 'cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway

This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time (I'm much too young to fall)
So out of place don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign
I've made up my mind

Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life

I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on,
Far away from here

Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I'd hope you might
Take me back inside when the time is right

Loved ones back home all crying 'cause they're already missing me
I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(I am unbroken; I'm choking on this ecstasy)
Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)

I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on,
Far away from here

Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I'd hope you might
Take me back inside when the time is right

This song is, like someone here says, a perfect example of how people can combine different types of music to come up with an awesome melody for a song... And the author of this song tells about how he doesn't belong where his true love is when they die, which is heaven, and that he belongs in an unholy place because of what he's done in his past life. Asking for a second chance, he wants to redeem his soul and asks that when he does, when the time is right, that his true love and heaven will accept him, but that for now, they gotta let go of him... This song is a true inspiration to me, and I love it.

this song is a perfect example of what avenged sevenfold wants to be like. they want to combine the best parts of each type of music and put them all together in a song, not to mention that this song also displays a powerful message, in which the guy realizes that he could've/should've done so much more in his life after he dies, so he tries to escape the "Afterlife" to get back to his own life

The narrator of the song realizes he has pushed life to far. He knows that he is about to die if he keeps going like he is. In fact, he is so close to death that an angel, or possibly even God himself, is communicating with him from the other side. When he realizes he needs a second chance to fix his life, he asks the angel, or God, which ever it is, for that chance, as well as to bring him back to heaven when his time finally comes. It isn't said if he receives this chance or not. At least this is what I get out of this song.
