In 'Gary the Snail', Avenged Sevenfold confronts the challenges of identity and misunderstanding within a community. The song explores themes of conflict, resilience, and self-identity through powerful lyrics and intense instrumentation.
Verse 1:
Rolling through, they’re driving fast,
Custom Mustang, a shadow cast.
Calling me names, a peasant's fate,
Laughing loud, they congregate.
Chorus:
Gary the Snail, they shout with glee,
But they don’t see the real me,
Running a 5.2 in their eyes, no lie,
But all they do is criticize.
Verse 2:
Smelly ugly words like daggers thrown,
My apartment’s seen more than they’ve known.
Kids in the back, windows rolled down,
Fueling the fire, igniting the town.
Chorus:
Gary the Snail, they shout with glee,
But they don’t see the real me,
Running a 5.2 in their eyes, no lie,
But all they do is criticize.
Bridge:
Stop being a liar, motherfucker, they say,
But I rise above, I won’t fade away.
Sticks and stones, they can’t define,
The strength within, the spirit that’s mine.
Chorus:
Gary the Snail, they shout with glee,
But they don’t see the real me,
Running a 5.2 in their eyes, no lie,
But all they do is criticize.
Outro:
But I’ll stand tall, through it all,
Rising up, I’ll never fall.
With every word, I’ll find my way,
Gary the Snail, but I’ll be okay.
