Текст песни avenged sevenfold - Betrayed
But how could you go throw it all away?
In my dreams it's me and you,
It's there I saw it all come true
As time went by faith in you grew,
So one thing's left for me to do
I feel it burn inside, burn like the rising sun
Lifted into the sky, took the only thing I loved
I know after tonight all your power crumbles in my arms
So don't worry, I'll be fine, when my life ends, I'll leave this scar
When I fell down, I needed you there
Every note and every word seems so hard to take
Finally, In destiny
A smoking gun in your hand
Now don't you realize what you've done
Put a bullet in his back, your hero since you were so young
How could you kill the man who brought salvation through your pain
He must mean everything to end it all this shameful way
Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday,
But how could you go throw it all away?
In my dreams it's me and you,
It's there I saw it all come true
As time went by faith in you grew,
So one thing's left for me to do
I started here so young and helped you get along
Just did it for the love, and people healed through us
Don't live you life in vain, don't take it out on me
You're cracked, so just remember, I'm not your enemy
I don't deserve to fall this way, by a man who felt betrayed
I felt so down now you're around to rescue me
Every note and every word i'm listening
Sometimes problems seem too deep to take
Sometimes I cry thinking my future looks so bleak
Finally, together we were destined,
I know what's best for us in the end
Someone hear me, someone stop me,
someone listen, why aren't you listening?
Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday,
But how could you go throw it all away?
In my dreams it's me and you,
It's there I saw it all come true
As time went by faith in you grew,
So one thing's left for me to do (finish you).
О чём эта песня
Песня «Betrayed» — это мрачная, яростная исповедь о предательстве, которое превращает любовь и веру в пепел: герой жил страстью, видел в другом свою мечту и судьбу, а тот всё бросил и стал причиной катастрофы. Ключевые образы — дымящийся пистолет, пуля в спину, убитый «герой» и «спаситель», который когда-то лечил чужую боль, и повторяющееся «Passion in my eyes» / «In my dreams it's me and you», работающее как заклинание и приговор. Настроение движется от отчаяния и обиды к холодной угрозе и мести, а приёмы — повторы, антитезы (мечта/реальность, спасение/убийство), прямые вопросы и восклицания — делают текст похожим на крик, где личное предательство неотделимо от трагедии насилия. В финале герой уже не просто скорбит, а обещает «finish you», так что песня о том, как поруганная вера оборачивается разрушительным ответом.
