Planets
Avenged Sevenfold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anger, our existence nevermore
You awoke the giants who were dormant in the sky
Comets raining death from a fiery eye
Mother of all, your time is coming
One with eternity
When planets collide
Planets collide
Damage, galaxy destruct
Endless, celestial a bit corrupt
You will be forgotten like the others lost in time
Deaths symbolization, left behind
Mother of all, your time is coming
One with eternity
When planets collide
Planets collide
Take heed the final march is closing in
You can't defeat them on your own
Weapons are longing for the final stand
And their all aimed at you from heaven
Planets collide
Planets collide
Planets collide
Planets collide
You will be forgotten like the others lost in time
Deaths symbolization, left behind
Mother of all, your time is coming
One with eternity
When planets collide
Planets collide
The lyrics to Avenged Sevenfold's song "Planets" paint a vivid picture of a brutal interstellar battle, with comets raining death and planets colliding. The opening lines, "Godless, meteoric war, Anger, our existence nevermore," suggest that this is a war between gods or other powerful beings that has left humanity caught in the crossfire.
The lyrics also suggest that this conflict has been a long time coming, with "giants" that were "dormant in the sky" now awakened and raining destruction down upon the galaxy. The lines "Damage, galaxy destruct, Endless, celestial a bit corrupt" further emphasize the scale and scope of this conflict, with whole galaxies being destroyed and the very fabric of the universe coming apart at the seams.
Despite the bleakness of the scenario being described, there is also a sense of resignation to the fate that awaits the singers. The repeated refrain of "When planets collide, Planets collide" suggests that this is an inevitable outcome, and that even the ones doing the fighting will be forgotten in the maelstrom of destruction.
Overall, Avenged Sevenfold's "Planets" is a powerful and evocative song that uses vivid imagery to paint a picture of a universe in turmoil, with humanity caught in the crossfire.
