Nothing To Say
Avenged Sevenfold Feat. Slash Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We seem so lost and jaded
Well what a price to pay
Fear can be overstated,
and you seem infatuated
with finding who's to blame.

While it can seem so hard now,
I got a feeling we ain't meant to live this way.

Don't tell me it's too late,
cause I feel it too, we all love to hate
and let others lead the way.

Some searching to find
That love (life?) with a new piece of mind.

And still we push further away,
Singing our songs of yesterday.
While so much still stands in our way,
Voices with nothing to say.

Some feel that life's a favor,
While some don't have the time.
Wash up and kiss the alter,
All hail the mighty father,
but love will keep you blind.

Same questions we keep asking,
Won't hear the answers cause we're scared of what we'll find

We try and compensate through our troubled faith that should keep us safe
and keep searching for a sign.

Some searching to find
That love (life?) with a new piece of mind.

And still still we march further away,
Singing our songs of yesterday.
While so much still stands in our way,
Voices with nothing to say.

There wont be another day, the (no?) changing of the seasons,
And no one's gonna save us from the lies.

The greatest story ever told,
Is only what you make it.
There will be struggle and fear,
All by design

And still we march further away (We've been so logicated)
Singing our songs of yesterday (Nothing's got all the point, the blame?)




While so much still stands in our way (Yeahhhh!)
Voices with nothing to say

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Avenged Sevenfold Feat. Slash's song Nothing to Say are deeply reflective and philosophical. The song speaks to the idea of feeling lost and jaded in life, and the fear that can often accompany this sense of being adrift. The lyrics encourage a search for meaning and purpose, while acknowledging that finding these things can be difficult and challenging. The repeated theme of voices with nothing to say suggests a certain amount of disillusionment with societal norms and a desire for deeper connection and understanding.


The song encourages the listener to confront their own life and search for a new piece of mind, as they march further away from the past, and into a new unknown future. It also seems to critique blind faith and suggests that true understanding requires more than just accepting what we are told. Ultimately, the song is about the search for deeper meaning and understanding, and the struggle to find one's own unique purpose in life.

Why did it take me 11 years to find this song. It’s so perfect.

@MrSuicidebassist

This is a badass album

@omarmahfouz5599

Same here, that solo was immaculate

@chronicdisease1722

5 years ago, when Jason Paradise uploaded this.

@TMKCreationsOfficial

Me too

@franciscs1604

This song should have featured synister gates. Hearing slash and syn duel guitars on a song would be the pinnacle of rock music

@willkoestner242

Agreed. I have a hard time listening to a7x without considering the gnr influence. It'd be nice to see it come full circle

@Bloorgusgoorge

But. A7x is metal

@JoseCruz-dk3fi

The world isn't ready for such epiness
