After several years of silence, Avenged Sevenfold returns with Nobody: a fascinating song that announces their upcoming album, Life Is But A Dream…, scheduled for release in June 2023. According to the band in the official video, the album was “inspired by Albert Camus’ writings and philosophy.”
There is a great deal of ambiguity in the lyrics, You will also find the Nobody Song Lyrics – Avenged Sevenfold at the end of this article.
There is no doubt that Nobody could be interpreted as a song about the symbolic ascent towards what lies beyond. There are several references to the process of elevation that are made in the lyrics of the song: the song mentions “being a God” and “walking with death,” which may refer to the process by which we are allowed to transcend the human dimension and become Gods.
Nobody Song Lyrics – Avenged Sevenfold
Ride in the shadows wandering
beyond the frame
Float like a feather through space
and time outside a dream
Pirouette with divinity in a
dance we’ve shared before
“Someone dissolution”
This is “I am all”
as “I am none”
Here we fly so high, no, I,
no coming down
Shedding weight as
I’m coming undone
All that’s left converge as one
I am the sun
I am the sun
I’m a God, I’m awake,
I’m the one in everything
I’m alive, I’m the dead,
I’m a man without a head
I walk with death
in final exhalation
And come apart through
violent separation
A thousand floors ascend
into the ether
A lunatic enchanted
by the reaper
And down below I leave a stranger
laying lifeless as the light
begins to shatter the skies
I ascend and leave
behind the “used to be”
And tear the fabric worn
to cover my eyes and see
I see
Nobody
Breathe in the silence, ebb and
flow among the waves
Blur on the spectrum in light
come dark in an equal phase
All I ever was, has been
and always will be
Here I end as I started again
beyond death and borne on the wind
I am the sun
I am the sun
I’m a God, I’m awake,
I’m the one in everything
I’m alive, I’m the dead,
I’m a man without a head
A crack in the darkness
A tear in the sky
A narrow moment
when we find ourselves
And all we occupy
Return to the boundless
Immerse in the free
Letting go as you lose your name
And all you’ve known to be
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
