"Shh...quiet, you might piss somebody off
Like me motherfucker, you've been at it for too long
While you feed off all this insecurity
You stand in front of me and bite the hand that feeds"
- Critical Acclaim - Avenged Sevenfold
Howdy! I don't know how many hundred times i've been listening to that new song of a7x. I can't wait for the album to be released. Must get it on the day itself. :) So anyway, i found this from a site. Read on if you want too 'cause i have nothing to say for the time being. Oh, it is about a person's opinion about the song.

Cryptic lyrics... this song seems two-sided to me.
It can be interpreted as critical of the War in Iraq and President Bush. On the other hand, there are references which seem critical of people who speak only negative things about the war and the country.
For the first part:
"telling them its all for something real
dont forsake the words you speak, you've gone too far, its gone"
This part sounds like it could be bashing Bush for lying about the true causes of the war. "Telling them it's all for something real" while forsaking "the words you speak" is like what many people think Bush is doing right now (the great majority of the population disapproves of Bush and the War in Iraq mind you). In fact, I don't see how this statement could be interpreted as critical of people against the war -- if it is, then what lies are these "activists" and anti-war people saying? Moreover, what is the "all for something real" part refering to? Telling them it's all for [Democracy] and [Freedom] are appropriate substitues for "real." This is why the line seems to be talking about Bush and his rhetoric. What else could be substituted for this line that implicates the anti-war crowd?
But a line that clearly seems of the anti-war crowd is:
"blaming their own nation for who wins elections
they've never contributed a fucking thing to the country they love to criticize"
For instance, some people blame the country for voting Bush into office. They believe that had the country not been so stupid (twice), we wouldn't be in the mess we are today. A7X seems to be giving the middle finger to these people for only criticizing instead of contributing and appreciating what they have.
What does everyone else think? I'm not even 100% about everything I just said. It's just my first stab at understanding the song.
p.s. The music is definitely kick ass. But I don't really like the lyrics; they're not clear enough -- but hey, whatever floats your boat, right? "
So yeah, it's from a random guy i found in the net. And i think he is right. If you look at the meaning for the song M.I.A from City Of Evil. It was written for M.Shadows friends in Iraq. This song in my opinion, is about the people who continuously protest the war, instead of supporting the troops. Avenged Sevenfold is not a band who is pro war, or against the war. They just want those kids in Iraq to come home safe. Thats what this song means. Yeah, that's what i think.
Happy Stalking!
