Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Master Shaïtan Wanna Be	#1 by Master Shaïtan at Feb 28, 1977 at 10:02 PM EST
	Songs like these are what make Opeth such an original metal band. They can go from screaming in your face to lulling you into relaxation.

No Picture cody Average	#2 by cody champion at Feb 20, 1986 at 6:02 AM EST
	I think this song might be about.. suicide. What brought this to mind was the lines "Into the orchard I walk peering way past the gate" "Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait".. Like he couldn't wait to die, to live out his life. Those who believe in the whole Heaven and Hell thing believe that suicides end up in Hell.. The "Wilted scenes.." describes this to me. Also those who commit suicide are sometimes referred to as martyrs, I'm not sure why.. since they die for themselves not for other people... Such a very beautiful song though, and so sad, so full of emotion.

No Picture a Average	#3 by a a at May 18, 1990 at 8:08 AM EST
	WTF? This song has a higher view rate than about 12 of the last songs on the top 100 chart but yet it's not on there?

No Picture Jon Lead Player	#4 by Jon Zell at Feb 4, 1994 at 9:09 PM EST
	wow i just heard opeth a day ago, they are amazing ther going right up my list along with tool and iron maiden

No Picture John Wanna Be	#5 by John Agopian at Oct 18, 1994 at 3:43 PM EST
	its amazing that for such a melodious song they are hardly a few comments while crap lile LP gets the whole goddamn world's attention....cmon ppl... oh well....the song as put forward by most of y'all is about coming to terms with your own impending death. And though you die alone you would prefer if someone close to you is there to comfort you..... A great song from a great concept album.... Opeth rocks..\m/.. Peace out...

No Picture brent Rhythm Player	#6 by brent west at Jan 16, 1997 at 4:45 AM EST
	Supplanter: I don't really think that it is about dying in place of someone else (a lot of ppl think of jesus when they see the word martyr). I think it's just about having someone at your side while you die. You want them to stay and to be faithfull, which explains the first 2 lines you quoted. For the last one, when he walks down towards his destiny in pain, he hears the mourning of his bloved ones from earth, and he's kinda like, hey, im the one dying here. Thats my vision on the whole thing. Damn this song is so beautiful, so pretty yet so sad, and you dont even have to hear the lyrics to feel that sphere. Probably one of the greatest songs of alltime. Just so pure.

No Picture Peter Wanna Be	#7 by Peter Lambden at May 24, 1999 at 10:48 AM EST
	this song is truly lovely. i also love the tone and feel of the guitar solo. inspired. i do wonder how they wrote this sometimes.

No Picture Flash Average	#8 by Flash Jaxon at Nov 30, 2003 at 3:21 PM EST
	Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait This line refers to those who commited suicide.
