Take the time just to listen
When the voices screaming are much too loud
Take a look in the distance
Try and see it all
Chances are that ya might find
That we share a common discomfort now
I feel I'm walking a fine line
Tell me only if it's real
Still I'm on my way
On and on it goes
Vacant hope to take
[Chorus]
Hey I can't live in here for another day
Darkness has kept the light concealed
Grim as ever
Hold onto faith as I dig another grave
Meanwhile the mice endure the wheel
Real as ever
And it seems I've been buried alive
I walked the fields through the fire
Taking steps until I found solid ground
Followed dreams reaching higher
Couldn't survive the fall
Much has changed since the last time
And I feel a little less certain now
You know I jumped at the first sign
Tell me only if it's real
Memories seem to fade
On and on it goes
Wash my view away [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/avenged_sevenfold/buried_alive.html ]
[Chorus]
Hey I can't live in here for another day
Darkness has kept the light concealed
Grim as ever
Hold onto faith as I dig another grave
Meanwhile the mice endure the wheel
Real as ever
And I'm chained like a slave
Trapped in the dark
Slammed all the locks
Death calls my name
And it seems I've been buried alive
Take you down now
Burn it all out
Throw you all around
Get your fucking hands off me
What's it feel like?
Took the wrong route
Watch it fall apart
Now you're knockin' at the wrong gate
For you to pay the toll
A price for you alone
The only deal you'll find
I'll gladly take your soul
While it seems sick
Sober up quick
Psycho lunatic
Crushing you with hands of fate
Shame to find out when it's too late
But you're all the same
Trapped inside inferno awaits
Evil thoughts can hide
I'll help release the mind
I'll peel away the skin
Release the dark within
This is now your life
Strike you from the light
This is now your life
Die buried alive [X2]

When they put you inside a small box and bury you in the ground.

I believe the song is about depression, being "buried alive" in things like sadness, anger, and grief. "follow dreams reaching higher, could it survive the fall" dreams that have little chance of coming true. "take the time just to listen when the voices screaming are much too loud, take a look in the distance, try and see it all" depressed people are generally overlooked and not listened to, i.e. Nobody can understand what they've been through until they actually listen.

I identify with this song right now going through a separation with my wife. A lot of the lyrics stand out and it is like a death. A part of me died last week.

To me it seems like he is looking at life and death, he cant understand if its real and what real means. It gets unbearable, he is very afraid of death and darkness, he is watching his life fading away and he faces death while fate and evil thoughts fight inside him.. In the song he cant reach the light, and the darkness, the devil wins, he gets in the wrong way. Deeply, i think it means that the person who wrote it is afraid of the judgmentafter death, he is talking about hell and heaven and the he feels death so strongly that it seems like he is buried alive, waiting for him...
