"Save me" - A song to close the album Nightmare, which was dedicated to The Rev (he died while completing only half of Nightmare, so the band dedicated the rest of this album for him). One can experience this by looking at the Earth from outer space. The overview effect is an understanding of how small and meaningless we and our problems are, as we're just a small fragment in a huge void. It also includes quotes from the astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson, about the overview effect. "Exist" - As Shadows said, exist is a "a heavy metal interpretation of the Big Bang". "So far away" - the song was originally written by Synister Gates to his grandfather, but later he changed the lyrics a bit and dedicated it to a close friend: The Rev "Paradigm" - the idea behind this song is about pushing the time limit of human life (by nanobots or any other technological advancement) "The stage" - the general idea of us being told what to think, either by religion or politics
"Unholy confessions" - about a couple who both cheat on each other (although I like to take this one to other places too) "I won't see you tonight part 1/2" - it is sang from the perspective of Justin Sane (former band member), as gates walked in on him trying to suicide by overdose. The song itself is supposed to be built like a drug trip (highs and lows). "Sidewinder" - it is sang from the viewpoint of a sidewinder snake, as a metaphor to sneaky people "Afterlife" - is about a man who wants to leave heaven because of his incomplete life "Nightmare" - is about a person who is entering hell I'll list a few, if you want more, let me know. They always play so Far away and have played fiction many times.Well, there's a lot I know about. It is the most passionate song they have ever written and it stinks that they will not play it, but if they were angry and hurt when they wrote it, it may feel wrong for them to play it. To this day, they have NEVER played Victim live. But it has been 7+ years so I think some things should come to light. I hate even writing this because in the song Victim itself it asks us to save our speculation for another time. Sure he could be sobbing because it is the last song Rev wrote. Gates breaks out sobbing during many of the live performances of that song when he is singing(Has a nice voice too). The song comes off as if it is a suicide note, although none recognized it at the time until after he died. The song Fiction, which was originally titled "Death" before the band changed the name to Rev's nickname fiction was handed in by the Rev to the rest of the band 3 days before he passed away as he said "here it is, the last song for the album". What's left to find? cause I need a little more" strikes hard as "Why did you kill yourself man? How could you do this to us" "Ask questions to myself about the things I'll never know. Rightfully so given how much they all loved him. The Lyrics "We all need a reason.a reason just to stay.but Some just can't be bothered.to stick around another day" comes across as accusatory. The friends of the Rev are the victims of his crime.
While so Far away gets praise for being their Rev dedication, Victim is also a dedication with a more sorrowful angry edge. It also just happens to be the ingredients of a Brompton Cocktail(Another song Rev wrote about medically addicted suicide due to terminal illness and having the right to die the way he pleases) But authorities say many people would die from that mix anyways. He certainly could have "accidentally" overdosed on a combination of Oxycodone, Oxymorphone, Valium, Nordiazepam and adding alcohol to the mix. The Rev also had a heart condition he knew about which almost certainly meant he would die in a few years anyways. They did not openly admit it, but left enough clues for their fans to figure out. A former member Justin Sane already tried killing himself. Obviously it is never good for a band to have that "Suicide band" label. General CommentClues are all over the place that the rev killed himself, despite the press release that it was "accidental". We can't seem to shelter the pain inside (oh)
