Dear God
Zachary Baker, Matthew Sanders, Jonathan Seward, James Sullivan, Brian Jr. Haner
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
To hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again
There's nothing here for me on this barren road
There's no one here while the city sleeps
And all the shops are closed
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
To hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again
Some search, never finding a way
Before long, they waste away
I found you, something told me to stay
I gave in, to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold
When hope begins to fade
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
To hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away
We all need the person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again
Saudade e Reflexão na Estrada: Uma Análise de Dear God do Avenged Sevenfold
A música Dear God da banda Avenged Sevenfold é uma balada introspectiva que se destaca em meio ao repertório geralmente mais pesado do grupo, conhecido por seu estilo metalcore e hard rock. A letra da canção reflete um sentimento de saudade e a busca por propósito, elementos que são comuns na experiência humana, mas que ganham uma roupagem particular na voz do vocalista M. Shadows.
A narrativa lírica de Dear God é construída em torno da solidão de um indivíduo que se encontra longe das pessoas que ama, em especial uma figura feminina significativa, provavelmente uma parceira ou alguém muito próximo. O eu lírico expressa um desejo profundo de que Deus cuide dessa pessoa na sua ausência, revelando uma preocupação que vai além do próprio bem-estar. A repetição do pedido a Deus para que 'segure-a' quando ele não pode estar por perto denota uma mistura de arrependimento e desejo de conexão, sugerindo que a distância física é acompanhada por uma distância emocional que ele luta para superar.
A canção também aborda a ideia de que, apesar de encontrarmos alguém que possa ser verdadeiro conosco, às vezes tomamos decisões que nos afastam dessas pessoas. O refrão 'But I left her when I found her / And now I wish I'd stayed' (Mas eu a deixei quando a encontrei / E agora eu gostaria de ter ficado) ressoa como um eco de arrependimento e a realização tardia do valor daquilo que foi perdido. A música, portanto, não apenas fala sobre a saudade, mas também sobre as escolhas e sacrifícios que fazemos, muitas vezes sem perceber as consequências até que seja tarde demais. Dear God é um apelo emocional que ressoa com qualquer um que já tenha sentido a dor da separação e o peso das decisões que levam à solidão.
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Uma estrada solitária, cruzou outra linha de estado fria
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
Milhas de distância daqueles que amo, propósito difícil de encontrar
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Enquanto eu lembro de todas as palavras que você me disse
Can't help but wish that I was there
Não posso deixar de desejar que eu estivesse lá
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah
De volta onde eu adoraria estar, oh sim
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
Querido Deus, a única coisa que peço a você é
To hold her when I'm not around
Para segurá-la quando eu não estiver por perto
When I'm much too far away
Quando eu estiver muito longe
We all need that person who can be true to you
Todos nós precisamos daquela pessoa que pode ser verdadeira conosco
But I left her when I found her
Mas eu a deixei quando a encontrei
And now I wish I'd stayed
E agora eu gostaria de ter ficado
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
Porque eu estou solitário e cansado
I'm missing you again oh no
Estou sentindo sua falta de novo, oh não
Once again
Mais uma vez
There's nothing here for me on this barren road
Não há nada aqui para mim nesta estrada deserta
There's no one here while the city sleeps

Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Não posso deixar de pensar nos momentos que tive com você
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

Some search, never finding a way
Alguns procuram, nunca encontrando um caminho
Before long, they waste away
Antes de muito tempo, eles se desgastam
I found you, something told me to stay
Eu te encontrei, algo me disse para ficar
I gave in, to selfish ways
Eu cedi, para maneiras egoístas
And how I miss someone to hold
E como eu sinto falta de alguém para segurar
When hope begins to fade
Quando a esperança começa a desvanecer

Some search, never finding a way
Algunos buscan, nunca encontrando un camino
Before long, they waste away
Antes de mucho, se desvanecen
I found you, something told me to stay
Te encontré, algo me dijo que me quedara
I gave in, to selfish ways
Cedí, a formas egoístas
And how I miss someone to hold

J'ai cédé, à des manières égoïstes

Eine einsame Straße, überquerte eine weitere kalte Staatsgrenze
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
Meilenweit entfernt von denen, die ich liebe, ist der Zweck schwer zu finden
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Während ich mich an all die Worte erinnere, die du zu mir gesagt hast
Can't help but wish that I was there
Kann nicht anders, als zu wünschen, dass ich dort wäre
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah
Zurück, wo ich gerne wäre, oh ja
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
Lieber Gott, das einzige, was ich von dir verlange, ist
To hold her when I'm not around
Sie zu halten, wenn ich nicht in der Nähe bin
When I'm much too far away
Wenn ich viel zu weit weg bin
We all need that person who can be true to you
Wir alle brauchen diese Person, die uns gegenüber ehrlich sein kann
But I left her when I found her
Aber ich habe sie verlassen, als ich sie gefunden habe
And now I wish I'd stayed
Und jetzt wünschte ich, ich wäre geblieben
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
Denn ich bin einsam und müde
I'm missing you again oh no
Ich vermisse dich wieder oh nein
Once again
Noch einmal
There's nothing here for me on this barren road
Hier gibt es nichts für mich auf dieser kargen Straße

Some search, never finding a way
Einige suchen, finden nie einen Weg
Before long, they waste away
Bevor es zu lange dauert, vergeuden sie sich
I found you, something told me to stay
Ich habe dich gefunden, etwas hat mir gesagt, ich soll bleiben
I gave in, to selfish ways
Ich gab nach, zu egoistischen Wegen
And how I miss someone to hold
Und wie ich jemanden vermisse, den ich halten kann
When hope begins to fade
Wenn die Hoffnung zu verblassen beginnt

Una strada solitaria, attraversata un'altra fredda linea di stato
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
Miglia lontano da quelli che amo, scopo difficile da trovare
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Mentre ricordo tutte le parole che mi hai detto
Can't help but wish that I was there
Non posso fare a meno di desiderare di essere lì
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah
Torna dove mi piacerebbe essere, oh sì

We all need that person who can be true to you
Abbiamo tutti bisogno di quella persona che può essere sincera con te

Some search, never finding a way
Alcuni cercano, senza mai trovare una via
Before long, they waste away
Prima o poi, si consumano
I found you, something told me to stay
Ti ho trovato, qualcosa mi ha detto di restare
I gave in, to selfish ways
Ho ceduto, a modi egoisti
And how I miss someone to hold
E come mi manca qualcuno da tenere
When hope begins to fade

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Sebuah jalan sepi, melintasi garis negara bagian yang dingin lainnya
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
Berjauhan dari orang-orang yang aku cintai, sulit menemukan tujuan
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Sementara aku mengingat semua kata-kata yang kamu ucapkan padaku
Can't help but wish that I was there
Tak bisa tidak berharap aku berada di sana
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah
Kembali ke tempat yang aku cintai, oh ya
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
Tuhan yang terkasih, satu-satunya hal yang aku minta dari-Mu adalah
To hold her when I'm not around
Untuk memeluknya saat aku tidak ada di sekitarnya
When I'm much too far away
Saat aku terlalu jauh
We all need that person who can be true to you
Kita semua butuh orang yang bisa setia padamu
But I left her when I found her
Tapi aku meninggalkannya saat aku menemukannya
And now I wish I'd stayed

I'm missing you again oh no
Aku merindukanmu lagi oh tidak

Some search, never finding a way
Beberapa orang mencari, tidak pernah menemukan jalan
Before long, they waste away
Sebelum lama, mereka terbuang
I found you, something told me to stay
Aku menemukanmu, sesuatu memberitahuku untuk tinggal
I gave in, to selfish ways
Aku menyerah, pada cara-cara egois
And how I miss someone to hold
Dan betapa aku merindukan seseorang untuk dipegang

孤独な道路、また一つ冷たい州境を越えて
愛する人々から何マイルも離れて、目的は定義されていない
君が僕に語った全ての言葉を思い出しながら
そこにいたいと願わずにはいられない
そして、僕がいたい場所、そうさ
親愛なる神よ、唯一願いたいのは
僕が側にいない時、彼女を抱きしめて欲しいということだけ
僕があまりにも遠くにいる時
皆、自分に正直になれる人を必要としている
でも、僕は彼女を見つけた時、置き去りにしたんだ
そして今、僕はそこにいればよかったと願っている
だって僕は孤独で疲れているから
また君が恋しい、ああ、ダメだ
もう一度
この不毛な道で、僕には何もない
ここには誰もいない、街が眠り
全ての店が閉まっている間
君と過ごした時間を思い出さずにはいられない
写真といくつかの思い出が、僕が乗り越えるのを助けてくれるだろう、そうだね
親愛なる神よ、唯一願いたいのは、僕が側にいない時、彼女を抱きしめて欲しいということだけ
僕があまりにも遠くにいる時
皆、自分に正直になれる人を必要としている
でも、僕は彼女を見つけた時、置き去りにしたんだ
そして今、僕はそこにいればよかったと願っている
だって僕は孤独で疲れているから
また君が恋しい、ああ、ダメだ
もう一度
ある者は探し続け、道を見つけられない
やがて、彼らは衰えていく
僕は君を見つけた、留まるようにと言われたのに
僕は自己中心的な方法に屈した
そして、誰かを抱きしめることが恋しいよ
希望が薄れ始めるとき
孤独な道路、また一つ冷たい州境を越えて
愛する人々から何マイルも離れて、目的は定義されていない
