Seize the Day
“I see my vision burn, I feel my
memories fade with time, but I’m too young to worry. These streets we travel on
will undergo our same lost past.” –Avenged Sevenfold, Seize the Day
Band rock asal Amerika Serikat, Avenged Sevenfold, merilis album ketiga
mereka yang bertajuk “City of Evil ”,
pada tanggal 6 Juni 2005. Album ini merupakan album pertama mereka yang dirilis
di bawah naungan label mayor. Album “City of Evil ” sukses di pasaran. Debut di tangga lagu
Billboard 200 pada posisi 30 dengan
penjualan lebih dari 30.000 salinan. Album ini membuat Avenged Sevenfold meraih
penghargaan pada ajang 2006 MTV Video
Music Awards untuk kategori Best New
Artist. Setahun kemudian setelah perilisan album tersebut, sebuah lagu
berjudul “Seize the Day” dirilis sebagai single
keempat sekaligus terakhir dari album ini, pada tanggal 7 Juli 2006. Lagu ini
merupakan hasil karya dari vokalis, Matt Shadows, dan almarhum drummer Avenged Sevenfold, James “The
Rev” Sullivan.
“Seize the Day” is a song about loneliness. It’s a love song actually, but
the love’s told in a dark and deep tone. Not in a bad way, but in a
way beyond the love itself. “I found you here, now please just stay for a
while, I can move on with you around. I hand you my mortal life, but will it be
forever? I’d do anything for a smile, holding you ‘til our time is done. We
both know the day will come, but I don’t want to leave you.” There are times when we feel so lonely deep
inside, even when we have a person
that we love and love us beside. When
we feel so love, why do we still feel
so lonely then? Well that thing could
happen. We’re just a human being
after all. Nothing lasts forever,
and everything will leave when it’s time.

“Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in. No longer needed here, so where do we go? Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death? But girl, what if there is no eternal life?” We can’t promise forever, but we can guarantee the now. Watching our beloved one sleeping face in front of us, no matter what might happen, everything seems so fine. “So, what if I never hold you, or kiss your lips again? So I never want to leave you and the memories of us to see. I beg don’t leave me.” We never know when our times come, so seize every day you live. Tell them your feeling before it’s too late. Do every thing you want to do before the moment passes. Because loneliness would be lonelier without that person.
Sebuah music video (MV) dirilis untuk lagu “Seize the Day” pada tanggal 30
Juni 2006 di akun MySpace resmi milik Avenged Sevenfold. MV ini disutradarai
oleh Wayne Isham, dengan jalan cerita yang entah mengapa mengingatkan saya pada
MV “November Rain” milik Guns N’ Roses. It
has a different story but somehow it gives the same feeling while watching it.
The song gives the same feeling too. I love the lyric so much, and also the guitar sound. This song is one of a kind. While listening to this song I couldn’t help
but remember to that one person who introduced me to this band and this
wonderful song during my high school time. I can’t thank him enough, but
I guess he would know if he read this. Have
you been well? Our birthdays are
coming soon, you know. It’s empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over.
“Seize the day or die regretting
the time you lost. It’s empty and cold without you here, too many people to
ache over. Trials in life, questions of us existing here. Don’t wanna die alone
without you here, please tell me what we have is real.” –Avenged
Sevenfold, Seize the Day
“Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It’s empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I’m too young to worry
These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past
I found you here, now please just stay for a while, I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
I’d do anything for a smile, holding you ‘til our time is done
We both know the day will come, but I don’t want to leave you
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
It’s empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I’m too young to worry
These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past
I found you here, now please just stay for a while, I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
I’d do anything for a smile, holding you ‘til our time is done
We both know the day will come, but I don’t want to leave you
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
A melody, a memory, or just one picture
Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here, so where do we go?
Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?
Trials in life, questions of us existing here
Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here, so where do we go?
Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?
Trials in life, questions of us existing here
Don’t wanna die alone without you here, please tell me what we have is
real
So, what if I never hold you, or kiss your lips again?
So I never want to leave you and the memories of us to see
I beg don’t leave me
Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home”
So, what if I never hold you, or kiss your lips again?
So I never want to leave you and the memories of us to see
I beg don’t leave me
Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home”
