Bat Country
Avenged Sevenfold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Gets rid of the pain of being a man)
Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay
I tried to drive on through the night
The heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights
No oasis here to see, the sand is singing deathless words to me
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 and I'm ready to ignite
Tomorrow might not make it, but everything's all right
Mental fiction follows me, show me what it's like to be set free
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
Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay
These eyes won't see the same, after I flip today
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
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 brains apart
Scared but you can follow me
I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die
The opening lines of the song "Bat Country" by Avenged Sevenfold delve into the idea that sometimes people feel the need to act out or become something they are not as a way to cope with the pain of being human. The song then transitions to a scene of chaos and destruction as the singer finds himself in a dangerous situation, desperate for help but ultimately unable to find it. The lyrics suggest that he has turned to drugs as a way to cope with his struggles but that this has only made things worse.
The second half of the song takes a surreal turn as the singer describes his journey through a world that is not quite real. He implies that he has lost touch with reality and that his grip on sanity is slipping away. He recognizes that his ideas might be dangerous and could lead to destruction, but he still feels the need to pursue them. Ultimately, the song seems to be about the destructive tendencies of human nature and the intense desire to flee from one's problems.

He's an unusual person who's unlike most people, but he's also unique in a rare way that makes him valuable

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 tried to drive all through the night
The heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights
No oasis here to see, the sand is singing deathless words to me
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
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 chained 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
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, yeah
Gets rid of all the pain of being a man
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
