Avenged Sevenfold - Bat Country Meaning

Song Released: 2005

Bat Country Lyrics

"He who makes a beast out of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man"

Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.
I tri-i-i-ied to drive all through the night,
the heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights.
No...

   "He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man" means he who brings himself to the point of hign inhebriation gets rid of lifes problems or if you drink you lose concentration on issuse of pain. Thompson was a big drinker and believe drinking helped to ease life.

   This song is a dedication to the author Hunter S. Thompson. The lyrics, "my hand is on the trigger, I'm ready to ignite" is refering to Thompsons suicide (he shot himself in the head). The lyrics, "too many doses and I'm starting to get an atraction" is refering to Thompsons drug addiction. Plus, if you have ever seen the music video for this, it is very closely related to the Movie, Fear and loathing in Las Vegas. That is a movie which was based off a book about Thompson covering a motorcycle race. The whole time he was in Vegas, he and his attorney were both high on drugs. and finally the lyrics, "he who makes a beast of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man". Those words are taken straight from Thompsons mouth. but I'm not completely sure what it means. but Avenged Sevenfold are very big fans of Thompsons work. I beleive they even got a spot at Thompsons funeral where his ashes were shot from a cannon blown up in fireworks and spread out across his land.
