“We Love You” as interpreted by GPT4:

"We Love You" by Avenged Sevenfold seems to explore themes of ambition, society's obsession with materialism, success, and the toll it can take on an individual. Here's a potential interpretation:

[Intro] The song begins with an idyllic scene, seemingly depicting a person who's just starting their journey - 'you've come so far' - and the world is full of promise and opportunities.

[Refrain] The refrain appears to portray societal pressures and demands – the desire for more power, money, sexual appeal, and other worldly pleasures. The repeated phrase 'build' in various contexts could symbolize the idea of constructing one's life or status, in alignment with societal expectations.

[Chorus] The chorus seems to convey societal admiration for those who strive to fit these expectations - 'you're one in a million and you know it shows.' 'And we love you' can be read as society's approval of those who conform to its standards. 'Unto the mud' might be a metaphorical phrase implying that even as someone is admired and loved for their success, they could still be dragged down or mired by the very expectations placed upon them.

[Verse 1] The verse describes a ruthless struggle to reach the top, stepping over others if necessary ('Race to scale the body stack/Lay foot to face atop broken back'). 'A failure here is a failure earned' might suggest that in this competitive environment, any failure is seen as deserving. 'Do unto the top/ Do unto the end/ Do unto the mud' seems to outline the trajectory from striving to reach the top, realizing the end of one's journey, and finally, potentially, a downfall.

[Refrain] The refrain repeats, further emphasizing the societal pressures and relentless pursuit of more - more power, pace, money, taste, etc.

[Verse 2] The second verse continues to commend the individual for their striving and perseverance ('Look at the way that you choose/ You know you'll never lose'). The line 'And all that you are/ It was all you deserved anyway' might be seen as a critique of societal norms that often equate one's worth with their achievements.

[Outro] The repeated phrase 'And we love you' in the outro can be seen as an ironic twist - an echo of society's love for those who fit its ideals, regardless of the personal toll it may take.

Overall, the song seems to be a critique of society's relentless pursuit of success and the dehumanizing pressure that can come with it. It raises questions about the cost of striving for ever-increasing standards of success and the potential personal toll such pursuit can take.

It's definitely not the hardest, but It's so damn heavy, and suffocating. It's amazing.

“Nobody” as interpreted by GPT4:

"Nobody" by Avenged Sevenfold seems to delve into themes of self-transcendence, identity, existentialism, and possibly the concept of death or the afterlife. Again, lyrics can be interpreted in many ways, but here is one possible analysis:

[Verse 1] The first verse introduces a journey, perhaps a spiritual one. 'Riding in the shadows' and 'floating like a feather through space and time outside a dream' suggests a state of transcendent consciousness or a metaphysical exploration. 'Pirouette with divinity' suggests a connection or dance with the divine. The line 'I am all as I am none' could reference the concept of the ego dissolution often spoken about in spiritual and philosophical contexts, indicating the loss of individual identity and the experience of oneness.

[Pre-Chorus & Chorus] The protagonist is 'shedding weight' and 'coming undone', which can suggest the process of ego death or the letting go of earthly attachments. The repeated phrase 'I am the sun' could represent the idea of becoming a source of life or energy, an integral part of the universe. In the chorus, the phrases 'I'm a God, I'm awake' and 'I'm alive, I'm the dead' suggest a state of higher consciousness, bridging life and death, illustrating the idea of omnipresence or being a part of everything.

[Bridge] The bridge suggests an encounter with death ('I walk with death in final exhalation') and ascension ('A thousand floors ascend into the ether'). The 'lunatic enchanted by the reaper' might symbolize someone who is not afraid of death but rather fascinated by it. The phrase 'tear the fabric worn to cover my eyes and see' could signify enlightenment or the removal of illusions.

[Refrain] 'Nobody' might represent the ultimate state of non-existence or the dissolution of the self, often discussed in Buddhist philosophies.

[Verse 2] The second verse further explores the concept of eternal existence and the cyclic nature of life and death ('All I ever was, has been and always will be'). It seems to emphasize a constant state of flux and transformation.

[Post-Chorus] The post-chorus again delves into existential themes, speaking about the fleeting nature of existence ('A narrow moment when we find ourselves') and the relinquishment of earthly identity ('Letting go as you lose your name').

Overall, "Nobody" seems to explore the themes of self-transcendence, existentialism, and the cyclical nature of life and death. It presents a spiritual journey where the protagonist goes through an ego death, ascends into higher consciousness, and ultimately becomes one with the universe.
