"He who makes a beast out of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man"
Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.
I try to drive all through the night,
The heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights.
No oasis here to stay, the sand is singing deathless words to me.
Chorus
Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention.
As I adjust to my new sights the rarely tired lights will take me to new heights.
My hand is on the trigger I'm ready to ignite.
Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right.
Mental fiction follow me; show me what it's like to be set free.
Chorus
Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/avenged_sevenfold/bat_country.html ]
So sorry you're not here, I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear.
Now take a trip with me but don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem.
Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.
These eyes won't see the same, after I flip today.
(guitar solo)
Sometimes I don't know why we'd rather live than die,
We look up towards the sky for answers to our lives.
We may get some solutions but most just pass us by,
Don't want your absolution cause I can't make it right.
I'll make a beast out of myself, gets rid of all the pain of being a man.
Chorus
Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention.
So sorry you're not here I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear.
Now take a trip with me but don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem.
I've known it from the start all these good ideas will tear your brain apart.
Scared but you can follow me I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die.
Sometimes i don't know why we'd rather live than die,
we look up towards the sky for answers to our lives. We may get some solutions but most just pass us by,
don't want your absolution cause i can't make it right. I'll make a beast out of myself, gets rid of all the pain of being a man.
"i thnk ths part of the song tells about the pain of being a man, and wanting to be sum1 or even something else. "

This song is heavily based on "fear and loathing in las vegas" by hunter s. Thomas that was published in 1971. The song name "bat country" comes from an event in the book where the main character, raoul duke, is drugged and hallucinating, seeing giant bats and manta rays in the sky. He then says to his attorney: "we can't stop here. This is bat country. " the first line of the song is a quote by dr. Johnson: "he who makes a beast out of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man. " the final line is derived the film adaptation, in which raoul duke speaks the final words about dr. Gonzo: "there he goes. One of god's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die. "

Well, i believe that this song is about the life, death, and after life of our lord and savor jesus christ. Especially the part where he (it) fought off the queen of the spiders in the return of the christ part iii. This is just my humble opinion. However, i am 33.3% sure that i am right. Because i am smarter than you. You are feeble compared to me. Hail the meat ball king!

Personally i love the last part, " i'm to weird to live but much to rare to die. " i feel that describes me perfectly! But i don't really think it's just about becoming a man, women go through many changes for being a girl to becoming a woman.

Its about the pain of transitioning from a boy to a man. It entails the lonely struggle that a boy must go through - the fire through which he must survive to grow up. The obtaining of strength to leave behind mental obstacles which enchain us, so that we become free in our mind to be men. Because to be a man is to be one can effectively take action when the need arises.

The meaning i get out of this song is that this man is somewhere hot and dry, like the desert. He is alone with no one and he is seeing things and becoming delirious.
Don't listen to avenged-meanings, no offense. This song is a tribute to the late great hunter s. Thompson. (caught here in a fiery blaze, heat stroke ridden weather) is talking about the desert they (hunter and his attorney) crossed to get to las vegas. Hunter and his attorney had a huge drug collection they took with them. At the beginning, "he who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man" is a quote from dr. Johnson, who was quoted at the beginning of the movie and book, "fear and loathing in las vegas". "i'm too weird to live, but much too rare to die" is a quote from near the end of the book. I would know, i'm a huge fan of both a7x and hunter thompson. :d
