Avenged Sevenfold - Paranoid Lyrics






Finished with my woman cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time

All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me occupy my brain
Whoah yeah

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late

  1. d.... b....

    I actually like the solo surprisingly

  2. H.... ....

    Cover is really gud... Except gates' solo is not very audible with that weird patch/tone

  3. J.... A....

    Amazing song cover a7x paraoid black sabath

  4. p.... v....

    el peor cover de la vida

  5. B.... b....

    I love it

  6. m.... b....

    It's cool, but the solo kills the vibe.

  7. K.... L....

    Cover😒

  8. P.... A....

    Cool.. 2019🤘

  9. C.... C....

    How the fuck didnt I know about this?!

  10. S.... ....

    Am I the only one that likes the solo??? 😂😂
    I’m also a guitarist and that solo is done with a lot of sustainiac and a whammy bar. I don’t think he “sabotaged” it because it was a “forced” cover. I think it fits nicely. It’s in key and everything. Gates doesn’t have to constantly shred to be a good guitarist.

    S.... ....

    I don't really like it myself but it does fit the song pretty well.

  11. M.... ....

    Where's the solo? I thought something big were coming after those sutained notes...

    M.... ....

    Marlo Alegría cover of this song was forced by warner so this solo is sabotaged by Synyster...

    M.... ....

    @Frenkie0902 So he sabotaged my comment too

  12. M.... F....

    The drums make this cover but the guitar solo is garbage.

  13. R.... G....

    This is horrendous.Yet another song Avenged Suckingfold can't play.

  14. E.... 1....

    original os better bcoz of hreeze buttlers epic bass playing

  15. L.... R....

    Los amo vieja! El mejor cover lejos♡

  16. L.... J....

    You find something new everyday

  17. B.... S....

    I know that it’s “enjoy life” but I’m pretty sure he just said “end your life”

  18. j.... k....

    Synyster gates probably the best guitarist out there these days, cover one legendary song, dont make a solo.

    j.... k....

    josele kiwi cover of this song was forced by warner so this solo is sabotaged by Synyster...

  19. K.... L....

    Perfect

  20. M.... D....

    isnt this song made by Black Sabbath?

  21. �.... �....

    Эмблема повелителей ночи из Warhammer 40000 Chaos space marines.

  22. O.... S....

    I'm a huge fan of a7x but the solo was BAD.

    O.... S....

    Or Sivan cover of this song was forced by warner so this solo is sabotaged by Synyster...

  23. G.... C....

    Bonne reprise ! Great Cover !!

  24. R.... E....

    Megadeth is better, because this cover is very good

  25. C.... G....

    I like the cover but I prefer megadeath cover better

  26. B.... a....

    Wow that cover

  27. a.... l....

    black sabbath and avenged sevenfold very good band... and synyster play guitar sustaniac very cool

  28. C.... S....

    Just missing the solo. But I love Matts vocals on it

  29. D.... I....

    I gotta say, all I see is people saying they'd go gay for Matt or Synn lol

  30. S.... 9....

    this song sounds like it was made by ozzy ozbourne

    S.... 9....

    or am i just crazy?

  31. T.... U....

    How did I not know this existed.

  32. B.... T....

    I actually love this version

  33. V.... C....

    this version is WAAAAAY better than the original.

    V.... C....

    Victor Capozzi nah. This doesn’t beat Black Sabbath. But it was still awesome as a cover on its own.

  34. D.... H....

    original still better

  35. M.... ....

    So gates can shred on guitar yet he can't play one of the easiest solos ever written.

    M.... ....

    Marka23 you play it

    M.... ....

    Marka23 cover of this song was forced by warner so this solo is sabotaged by Synyster...

    M.... ....

    it's too easy for him

    M.... ....

    Nobody can play like Tony Iommi. Sorry. Being a shredder doesn't make you good. Feeling and musicality do.

    M.... ....

    Synister is awesom

  36. N.... K....

    song's really good except for the solo bit, prefer the original/Megadeth's version

  37. C.... F....

    Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
    People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
    All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
    Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify
    Can you help me, occupy my brain?

    Oh yeah
    I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
    I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

    Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry

    And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state

  38. A.... ....

    seriously ???

  39. R.... ....

    Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind

  40. J.... G....

    Not as good as the original, but definitely not bad.

  41. S.... M....

    Avenged Sevenfold made the song less stoned, love both bands 🤘🤘🤘

  42. D.... F....

    Şarkının ağzına nasıl sıçılır 101

  43. A.... G....

    MY GOD!!! FUCK YEAAAH! #BlackSabbathLeyends

  44. s.... ....

    What the hell was that solo? also the voice just doesn't fit the song. not the worst cover but definitely not the best

    s.... ....

    shadowop114 cover of this song was forced by warner so this solo is sabotaged by Synyster...

  45. K.... S....

    this is just awesome!!!!

  46. N.... ....

    This is a GREAT cover! Not as good as the original, but still very good.

    N.... ....

    But the solo sucks.

    N.... ....

    Noa the vocals here are better than the original

    N.... ....

    @Bianca Toscano 🤣🤣🤣 wtf you on?

    N.... ....

    The solo was complete trash.

  47. S.... ....

    I like this cover

  48. J.... B....

    it''s a great song

  49. P.... m....

    I would be gay for Synester Gates no lie

    P.... m....

    Jackson Morrow I think we all would.

    P.... m....

    Jackson Morrow I would be straight for Synyster Gates

    P.... m....

    I would be strate up flanboysih

  50. k.... ....

    I love Avenged Sevenfold, the vocals don't really match a song like this. Mostly because Ozzy was such an awful singer that he made it sound good in his own way. Plus wtf was that solo. Pretty meh I guess.

    k.... ....

    shut the fuck up you

    k.... ....

    Tc Lee Chilton can't tell if b8 or just a really stupid person. Either way, 1/8

    k.... ....

    Jerrymczinger no u

    k.... ....

    kykynick1 I think they match the song ozzborns doesn't.

    k.... ....

    kykynick1 they were forced to cover this song so synyster was like f.ck it 😁

  51. M.... F....

    Suena genial

  52. G.... P....

    Megadeth has a better cover

  53. T.... ....

    Not playing a solo, when there's the chance, it's like missing the winning lottery not buying the winning ticket with "buy me" written in it in giant characters.

    T.... ....

    TrollMalefico1984 cover of this song was forced by warner so this solo is sabotaged by Synyster...

    T.... ....

    @Frenkie0902 why was is forces

    T.... ....

    @MGunner Record labels like Warner have their artists in chokeholds and probably told them they couldn't play the original solo for whatever reason.

    T.... ....

    @Jake D damn

  54. A.... O....

    aweeebooooo!!!!!!

  55. g.... ....

    Great cover!

  56. M.... T....

    It's not the worst but come on where the f**k the solo at

    M.... T....

    Michael Thompson thank you. Like wow you used a Floyd Rose.

  57. B.... ....

    I love the drums

    B.... ....

    I love the Whole Band !

  58. E.... M....

    WHAAAAT? This song just got a little better!

    E.... M....

    other band

  59. H.... M....

    I think it's a very good cover

    H.... M....

    Badass Cover !

  60. M.... B....

    While they do take it into their own, they suck any sense of doom metal out of the track, which just makes the riff lose all its power.

    M.... B....

    Matthew Blanchard paranoid isn't doom metal lmao. Far fucking from it

  61. S.... L....

    Nice cover of Black Sabbath.

  62. E.... Q....

    ouch my right ear

    E.... Q....

    +Silvano Schwetscher
    He turned it up to 11

  63. I.... ....

    Total WIN!

  64. S.... ....

    What immense talent! To take a Black Sabbath track and make it suck... that takes some real skill.

    S.... ....

    SkittersTractorfist you mean, taking an ok song and make it better in every way possible? i agree

    S.... ....

    Jeff Ferreira you can barely hear the original song😂

    S.... ....

    Bertrand Lecerf did u really just say that a7x is overrated? NO ONE knows who a7x is. If anything, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden and all the other bullshit "classic" metal you call is overrated. More people know who Black Sabbath, Metallica and Iron Maiden is. Literally everyone I know knows who those bands are, but NONE of them know who a7x is. blacks sabbath and Metallica and all them are always on the radio and shit but NEVER a7x. you CANT call them overrated.

    S.... ....

    SkittersTractorfist dude are you retarded? A7x is A LOT heavier than Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath. Black Sabbath is hardly even metal. I’ve never heard an a7x song in the radio EVER

    S.... ....

    Jesus, everyone has their opinion. People just need to learn to respect each other. People can say their music sucks, and I respect that. However, saying that the people themselves suck is taking it too far. The talent in this band is far and away some of the best in the modern era. Synnester Gates is a once in a lifetime talent at guitar and will go down as one of the best. For those who don't think so, watch a live performance of "Scream", every note in that guitar solo is picked and Gates himself admitted he wasn't sure he would be able to play it live

  65. J.... R....

    Since any guitar player, and many metal fans, understand that Synyster Gates is a wicked guitarist (just listen to Afterlife), you have to wonder why he decided to not even attempt the original solo or create a good one. Such a disappointment.

  66. S.... T....

    Holly shit 6 years old
    screw that I'm going back to sleep
    Until the end

    S.... T....

    Nightmare

  67. F.... 8....

    \m/  \m/

  68. J.... ....

    Hell yeah. This is awesome :D

    J.... ....

    Hell yea bud

  69. V.... K....

    Megadeth's version was just made because the members were bored. I don't buy that. 

    V.... K....

    @Varun Kuchibhotla And it's too fast [Okay despite the fact Megadeth's style is fast] But i don't like it either
    I think a7x did a good work on it!

  70. P.... ....

    avenged sevefold+black sabbeth=bad ass

  71. M.... B....

    I think they were forced to make this cover, right? If they didn't, the record company would have dropped them.

    M.... B....

    i would have killed to hear them cover mr bungle

    M.... B....

    Me too! Their self-titled is one of my favorite albums of all time! 

    M.... B....

    +Johnny Christ how do you know

    M.... B....

    MsKisskissXOXO well they have now covered retrovertigo

    M.... B....

    Tom Whaley Why were they denied to cover Stubb? That's a great song for fuck sake.

  72. a.... ....

    This song is badass

  73. D.... L....

    Y did i not know of th I s?????

  74. D.... S....

    'O pior solo do black que eu ja vi! podre

  75. x.... ....

    I realize that for any heavy metal band covering a 'Sabbath song is an unspoken right of passage... But GOD DAMN IT!

    Somebody get Geezer Butler in there!! Grab that bass show em how it's done right!

  76. b.... ....

    Probably get someone saying I'm wrong, but my gf and I listened to this track. Avenged sevenfold usually does good but they butchered this classic. Solo is like 5 notes just ring threw with effects. Sounds choppy and vocals weren't any better

    b.... ....

    this is a low quality video, listen to yourself

    b.... ....

    So I've found out that Syn actually purposely played the solo that way in order to shine light on the sustainiac pick up he uses.

    b.... ....

    No really we couldnt figure that out?

    b.... ....

    This isn’t really that bad so stfu

    b.... ....

    @Dead Account well , not to be rude but syn and matt explained this a long time ago , they simply did not want to do it, they label forced them and the pretty much stated that they didnt care for it. Syn trashed the song twice in an interview lol.

  77. M.... V....

    Original is still the best. Ozzy and the beastboys "BLACK SABBATH"

  78. A.... R....

    the music in a general aspect got really good , but the solo wtf

    A.... R....

    Seriously, a7x is capable of far better.

  79. M.... ....

    Megadeth's cover is better if you ask me

    M.... ....

    MikePacca you must be joking right? I mean Mustaine better than Syn? You must be fucking joking

    M.... ....

    MikePacca lmao bro you are not serious, right? Mustaine is good but Syn Gates is a fucking monster
    I can easily learn a guitar solo by mustaine no doubt
    However syn gates solos are mind boggling hard. Dude do not ever compare a true melodic shredder to someone like mustaine 😂 yingwie malmsteen, john petrucci, dimebag (RIP) could give him a run for his money, but mustaine? Are you on crack 😂

    M.... ....

    Megadeth more like megagay

    M.... ....

    i like the covers

  80. A.... D....

    Yeah good man voice was perfect

  81. m.... b....

    Nice cover yet again

  82. R.... D....

    Ill go gay for M shadows lol

    R.... D....

    "I'll go gay for Johnny", said no one ever.

    R.... D....

    @Jacob Wagner I'll stay straight for him.

    (I'm a female)

    R.... D....

    @Jacob Wagner i dont get it man, he aint ugly. Im a straight dude, but I'd think he's better than zacky

  83. E.... M....

    no esta mal... Pero es mejor la bersion original

    E.... M....

    +Eric Mach Claro que no pero, es muy bien.

  84. T.... 6....

    Of course black sabbath is better because paranoid is their original song !!!!!!!

    T.... 6....

    This is a very good cover for paranoid but the original one is the best

  85. M.... W....

    I love how Avenged Sevenfold will cover a song, make it theirs, yet keep the integrity of the original song. Ozzy even likes this version, and I bet Dimebag would like their cover of walk.

  86. f.... ....

    Probably the worst solo I've ever heard. I didn't expect anything less from Synyster Gates, but still.

    f.... ....

    falx94 cover of this song was forced by warner so this solo is sabotaged by Synyster...

  87. V.... B....

    como um maluco que tem a foto de perfil com uma guitarra na mão fala que a versão original de paranoid e uma bosta?

  88. V.... O....

    Se enforca seu inútil.Bosta é sua opinião.

  89. L.... F....

    A original já é uma bosta, não ficou legal não.

  90. j.... M....

    his voice is fucking quality

  91. y.... a....

    we all know that

  92. T.... ....

    Black Sabbath

  93. J.... A....

    black Sabbath is way better

  94. f.... ....

    Syn fail the solo because they don't wanted to record this cover, it's Warner Bros who made them do a cover of this song for "Covered: A revolution in sound". A cover album

  95. s.... l....

    Untrue Ozzy is the worst alive ozzy has a horrible voice Unlike matt his voice is Gods jizz

    s.... l....

    You're joking right?

  96. K.... B....

    a7x is good for me....i love it paranoid....
