A.V.H.
Ozzy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get up and I get down
I don't know how to take it
All the pain makes me scream and shout
I wonder if I'll make it
I love the feeling when the magic is just right
There's no revealing what is hidden in the night
Riding on a train that I can't control
No one else to blame and I can't let go
In the darkness I can feel
The things that makes me crazy
Hands of madness cold as steel
I find it quite amazing
Never forsaking what a dreamer needs to know
Rules meant for breaking and the seeds I have to sow
Riding on a train that I can't control
No one else to blame and I can't let go
It's calling me, It's calling me
It's calling me, It's calling me
I'm riding on a train that I can't control
See no evil, fear no fright
Never lose the living
Keep the targets in your sight
Know the cards you're dealing




Never forsaking what a dreamer needs to know
Rules meant for breaking and I gotta let, I gotta it go

Riding on a train that I can't control
No one else to blame and I can't let go

In the darkness I can feel
The things that makes me crazy

[  Meditation leads to awareness of telepathy, and awareness of telepathy leads to meditation.  ]

Honesty socially is much more important than DOING to impress others. It’s not what we DO to build social value that matters. It’s the respect we are willing to give, as well as the authenticity and sincerity we have within our personalities. The ideas we choose to participate in matter most: they are either friendly or cruel socially. There is no DOING in society that creates authority by default, which is the ability to pass judgments more than others. Anger and zero accountability are not replacements for honesty and empathy. The minds participating in that idea are hypocritical, classist, and dumb.

Authoritarianism is a head game men play when they refuse to share honesty (friendship). Classist men are completely biased against ideas supporting telepathy, free thinking, and level states of being. Spiritual development, the focus away from the material and towards psychology and attraction only, is promoted as “not important” by the fearful seeking emotional leverage socially. Spiritual ideas immediately decentralize power, elevate mood, reduce manipulation, and eliminate leadership. Spirituality places much more emphasis on social inclusion, honesty (friendship), and collective consciousness. Authoritarians weaponize materialistic development and use it as a basis to remain unfriendly (dishonest) and critical. Dishonesty is the only way the idea of “power” may exist. When friendship is seen as much more important than power, material development is subservient to mood. When material development is used to boost self worth and reduce others socially, mood is subordinate to power.

Joyful ideas supporting free thinking (telepathy, cooperation, and honesty) encourage growth of the human persona, are anti-manipulative, and remove the idea of “power” from the human mind. Men focused on the immaterial (personality) and on honesty (friendship) are more developed socially than domineering men consumed with leadership. Authoritarians intentionally remain closed-minded, antagonistic (blame), and manipulative (controlling), while also forming intense judgments (jealousy) about more emotionally developed men, in order to seek status. Men with evolved personas possess honesty and humor within the mind, and never extend the idea emotional leverage to anyone. This makes them an unintentional threat to critical men focused on social dominance. Leadership is not warm, nor is it real. It is used in practice to reduce pride in others and to artificially boost feelings of self worth in an individual focused on social image only. Men focused on telepathy are contradictory socially to authoritarians that promote leadership. Men with inherent worth (love for others) are offensive to men trying to prove worth (lack of belief in self) with material development.

All men know consciousness (Source) and possess a conscience. Possessing a conscience is knowing right from wrong. No man is exempt from understanding Source (love) within, and all men know what a conscience is. Comparing the human being to an unaware animal is cunning and manipulative. Alphas rely on this lie socially instead of developing character, while ignoring Source (love) completely. Our feelings (thoughts and beliefs) are transmitted vibrationally to the minds of other people. In order to seek power, which is the intention to emotionally reduce other human beings, status seekers must feign unawareness of knowing Source (love) and a conscience. Cruel ideas are deliberately broadcast promoting social dominance. The willful focus on an honest (friendly) collective consciousness is a contrarian idea to human animals playing dumb. Being EQUAL TO in the mind socially IS secure, and the ONLY true expression of emotional security that exists. Authoritarians refuse to focus away from being unfair human animals and towards emotional harmony, and remain consumed with social inequality only. This forces an unrelaxed, emotionally tense environment driven by melodrama and contempt for others.

Alphas have low feelings of self worth, mental instability, manipulative personalities, and severe emotional issues resulting from the intense focus on both apathy (unfriendliness) and advantages (social exclusivity). Ideas rooted in social dominance (alpha psychology) will never promote honesty (friendship) in society. Dishonesty leads to an emotional schism (depression) socially. Alphas are homophobic and seek more control over feelings, and focus on blame and paranoia socially to maintain a false sense of emotional security. These vibrational attacks lead to violence. Control over feelings is impossible, as we all share thinking. Alphas are combative because they are deeply insecure about the emotional intelligence in other men. When men possess emotional IQ, it means they care about other people, have level minds socially, and think very highly of other human beings in general. We are all telepathic. There is no choice but to be honest (friendly), and to focus on the ultimate truth of what reality is (connection with Source). Men with evolved personas refuse to manipulate the truth and to seek power over others. Seeking status means to be endlessly critical, materialistic, and cruel socially. Men with emotional depth focus on honesty (friendship) more than alphas, and this is why they are non-violent.

The idea of a social hierarchy (human authority) is degrading and humiliating. It promotes closed-mindedness, fear, and the social inclusion of violence. Non-conformist men focused on telepathy, possessing elevated emotions, are judged relentlessly by alphas that refuse to evolve. Violent men intentionally share the same judgments about more emotionally complex men out of spite, keeping a false sense of security. Alphas seek validation and support from each other, since the ideas they participate in are rooted in dishonor and hate. Alphas judge friendly, emotionally developed men the most because they possess more honesty, more self control, and have the courage to show love (truth) to conformity. Passing excessive, unprovoked judgments (authoritarianism) on a better psychology, wavelength, and state of being is jealousy. These judgments always relate to honesty, social harmony, and non-violence. Violent men rely on power of numbers to keep ideas going that are manipulative and threatening towards men that have already focused away from machismo (lying and fear), and towards telepathy, honesty, and Source. Men that refuse to evolve into non-violence and remain alpha will remain domineering and controlling socially, and will always promote vibrational attacks against more emotionally developed men. The results of this psychology are petty head games and constant manipulation of the truth.

Intelligence is always associated with emotional IQ, and emotional IQ has a direct correlation to the mental focus on social equality. Social equality can only result from honesty (friendship) within the mind. The reason men chose to be honest socially is always the same: they are aware telepathy is real and they don’t like looking stupid. Alphas primarily focus on dominance and social image, and focus entirely away from emotional depth and connectivity. This reduces their emotional IQ socially. Because of this, alphas will always feel inferior to more honest men. Alphas must always focus on acting skills to socialize, since the inner persona is focused only on aggression, violence, and dishonesty. This creates a shallow personality socially with a dumb vibe. Men with violence on the mind will always show jealousy to non-violent men with emotional depth. This is because only non-violent men can form honest outer personas socially that are not shallow, more trustworthy, and more likable. Shallow minds are not highly thought of or respected when it comes to emotional IQ, and are often avoided socially. This angers the minds of men that possess a lower psychology, which will often create a violent reaction socially unprovoked. When thinking in men is focused primarily on honesty, feelings radiate warm / soft. Men that have violence and cruelty within the mind radiate ice cold / threatening feelings.

Machismo and compassion are polar opposites. Machismo will never allow for healing to occur, while compassion is the promotion of both healing and emotional growth. Men focused on compassion will always outwit less mature, manipulative men with arrogant and violent personalities that share no respect socially. Men will either allow healing (level thinking) to occur socially, or they will attempt to take away pride from others to artificially boost feelings of self worth. Alphas will always attempt to seek an image of more value socially by cheating (violence, greed, or leadership). Judgements from personalities with machismo usually have little substance. Only judgments relating to character issues (dishonesty), violence, or an excessively critical mind have real substance. Passing judgments on men for being honest (friendly) is shallow, arrogant, and completely against the development of our collective consciousness socially. Judgments from alphas are often hypocritical, cruel, and reside in dishonor. Shallow judgments from authoritarians will always lead to drama, social inequality, and violence. Alphas focus intensely on cutting other men down unfairly in order to promote a better social image, labeling it “competitive”.

It’s time for human beings to end classism for good. It is jealousy. Materialistic development and social image will never supplement dishonesty and cruelty within a personality. Secure men are naturally friendly, level in the mind, and easy to get along with. Alphas focus on head games, stagnation, and conniving.

End the drama////

I get up and I get down
I don't know how to take it
All the pain makes me scream and shout
I wonder if I'll make it

I love the feeling when the magic if just right
There's no revealing what is hidden in the night
Riding on a train that I can't control
No one else to blame and I can't let go

In the darkness I can feel
The things that makes me crazy
hands of madness cold as steel
I find it quite amazing

Never forsaking what a dreamer needs to know
Rules meant for breaking
And the seeds I have to sow

Riding on a train that I can't control
No one else to blame but I can't let go
It's calling me, t's calling me
It's calling me, it's calling me
I'm riding on a train that I can't control

See no evil, fear no fright
Never lose the feeling
Keep the targets in your sight
Know the cards you're dealing

Never forsaking what a dreamer needs to know
Rules meant for breaking and I gotta let,
I gotta let it go

I'm riding on a train that I can't control
No one else to blame but I can't let go
It's calling me, it's calling me
It's calling me, it's calling me
I'm riding on a train that I can't control

It IS a 90s rock sound😅

@sladevader3478

One of the finest songs on this album, often overlooked, but deserves more praise.. Maybe it needed a better title? Zakk's shredding is so melodic and powerful here.

@lukesgameplay9121

Supposedly it stands for Aston Villa Highway. Still, seems to have no relation to the lyrics.

@sac97311

Agreed
The guitar lick with Ozzy screaming “ riding on a train that I can’t control”!
Classic Ozzy!
