I think its about someone commiting suicide. And remembering his "friends" that have abandoned him. and now he is dying and asking if there is anyone that would remember him because he has no friends to do that.. i kno kinda crappy but thats my take on it. -.xSage |

|
YEa me too i had social anxiety.. and sometimes i still feel it thats exactly how i felt that people were making fun of me behind my back and i thought that they are so stupid for staring at someone that they didnt even know(for a person with anxiety staring at them is torture) When mindless bodies screw tortured souls |

| AFI – The Chicken Song Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| ..i dont know.. something about this song makes me think of the "american Life" how its so perfect and that chicken soup is like a billboard of american life how they have the perfect kid and the perfect family eating the chicken soup. and in reality that perfect kid is getting beat by his perfect dad. and the perfect mother got away.. the jade thing is funny but if you really think about the song its kinda disturbing...i dont know about the granola bars though.. | |

FOrget my comment i just made its stupid..heres my comment again.. this song means that they opened the box and found it empty in the end of clandestine -I am exploring the inside, I find it desolate- -(If you listen) Listen, listen (Listen close) Beat by beat (You can hear when the heart stops) I saved the pieces (When it broke) And ground them all to dust - Ok forget the the ( ) up there it says "I saved the pieces and ground them all to dust" If you watch clandestine in the end credits It shows the Box is getting burned. so this song has nothing to do with vampires but finding out that theres nothing in that box. and the reincarnation part i think its true because davey's zodiac sign is a rabbit and he says "i know i died and ill never be brought back to life once again i know" so now im thinking that this is the last song in the Cd and the first song is acctually Silver and cold. because in the beginning it has a sound of rain and a Truck.. and somewhere i forgot but AFI makes a reference to "RABBITS ARE ROADKILL" so this song is his death and he knows that he cant be brought back to life with reincarnation. |

So my idea of this song is that Its about opening the box in their movie Clandestine and finding nothing -I am exploring the inside, I find it desolate- and that this is the actual beginning of the CD it represents Reincarnation and Rebirth I am exploring the inside, I find it desolate -I do implore these confines, now, as they penetrate, "recreate me"- and it all makes sence because it realigns the whole cd so that the leaving song pt 1 and 2 are in order. its just like the seasons and since davey is a rabbit in the chinese zodiac and cannot be reincarnated its just like a Never ending cycle thats why in the last song (in my new order) the leaving song pt 2 the spanish words.. i forgot and too lazy to get them he says something like I have been here before and i have returned which means he has been dead before and he is going to get recreated... the end of that comment was kinda weird cause im kinda tired... |

| AFI – Miseria Cantare: The Beginning Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
to dying to live's comment i found this on someone's xanga site. i didnt write it, just so you know. But i think it is very interesting and made me respect sing the sorrow a lot more. "Okay, before this album came out, they released a 10" disk, and called it "336". No one could figure out why, and it was a bit of a secret. All they would really tell us was that when Sing the Sorrow came out, it would all be made clear. Well, they dropped some hints in the meantime. One time while upgrading the messageboard, they left links to astrology, numerology, and the ummm.... I think the chinese zodiac? Another time, a hint was dropped... they said that "336" wasn't really important.. it was just "what comes before." It came before Sing the Sorrow. Meaning that STS was "337." And we really had to figure out what 337 meant. Also, there were the rabbits. They had posters and stuff with rabbits on them. And other weird mentions of rabbits. In the liner notes from STS, it says, "Rabbits are roadkill." So Sing the Sorrow came out, and no one could figure it out. Then their short film, "Clandestine" came out. It had the cd, the dvd short film, and a 60 page little hardcover book, which was like a big colored version of the cd booklet. Thw whole style is of faded, worn pages. The pages are old and stained... brownish stains.. But as you flip through the book, you begin to realize that some of the stains and smudges are actually red. All of the stains are actually blood, and dried blood. (I haven't seen the film in a long time, so I might have a few details wrong.) Now, in the film, it starts with Hunter holding a box with the Sing the Sorrow logo on it, running through the forest. He looks at a paper, and keeps running. The paper gets dropped, and you see that it says Room 37 at 3:33. He runs into a classroom full of kids. The board says, "nothing from nowhere." Then you see Adam playing cards. The box is on the table (in the pot), along with a watch, keys, a magnifying glass, a bottle of dark fluid, a white chrysanthemum, and a live rabbit. Adam has 336 in his hand. He wins, takes the box, and goes to leave, but the box falls apart in his hands. You see that two of the guys at the table have actually smuggled away the real box. It flashes to Dave in a cafe. He is writing in a book (the book that comes with Clandestine... it's like the cd booklet, but better), with the box on the table. A strange woman comes up and kisses him, stealing the box. She leaves, and he goes back to writing. He notices the box is gone, and leaves. It flashes to Jade walking into the classroom, (the board says "I am no one at all." and through another door in the class, which leads him into a house. You see him snooping through the house. Going upstairs, going through drawers, looking behind dressers, etc. He goes into the bathroom, and the tub is filled with a black fluid. He reaches in, and pulls out the box. You see a hand at the door of the bathroom (maybe the hand of the woman from the cafe?), trying to open it. They unlock the door (with the keys from the card table?) Jade jumps into the tub, going down, down into the water. He comes walking out of the water on a beach. He walks across the sand to a small table where all the members sit waiting. He places the box on the table, and they open it. End of film. You never see what is or isn't inside. Throughout the movie, it flashes the clock, which, for every person's scene, is on 3:33, and at the very end, I believe it's 3:37. Now, I have friends that spent forever figuring this out, and I helped some. They looked up esoteric astrology, chinese astrolgy, and numerolgy, among other things. Clandestine means something secret or hidden. Esoteric also means hidden. "Miseria Cantare" is Latin for "Sing the Sorrow." 3 x 37 = 111. I'm not positive, but I hear that 777 represents god, or perfection. In Transference, Dave wrote, "I'm 111 less than perfection." 777 - 111 = 666. Dun dun DUUUUNNN. (P.S., NO, they are in no way devil worshippers. Just for your info.) Also, Three denotes divine perfection; Seven denotes spiritual perfection. In esoteric astrology, 336 represents physical death, and the events leading up to it. There were only 2 songs on the 336 disk. Some of the lyrics of one of the songs say, "We're all now in dying days.... I gave up fighting. I've come to be these halos." 337 represents the act of reincarnation. This is important: In chinese astrology, Dave is a RABBIT. He was born the year of the rabbit. RABBITS CANNOT BE REINCARNATED. Rabbits are on their last life in this world, and do not have another chance. In numerology, Dave's life path number is 3. In some middle eastern philosophy, they say that there are 37 deeds you must do before you can reach nirvana, or peace/heaven, and be done on the wheel of life. The whole cd goes in a circle. The sounds at the end are backwards. They end in the same beat and same key as the beginning of the cd. It's one continuous loop. The music before This Time Imperfect is the same played forward as it is played backward. The front of the album has the symbol of falling leaves. Falling leaves represent death, and returning to the earth. The back of the album has a symbol of water. Water represents rebirth. All of the art for this album has been circles. Another symbol of something repeating, of reincarnation. Also, at the beginning of the film, Hunter is running through the forest (leaves), and at the end, they're on the beach (water). The black fluid in the bathtub relates to "Bleed Black." The chrysanthemum on the card table relates to "The Great Disappointment." It's all crazy. Basically, the whole theme is death and reincarnation, and the fact that he CANNOT reincarnate again. Look at the song lyrics. Although each song as a whole isn't about this, there are specific lines that corroborate this theory. Example: "iscarnate." "Nothing from nowhere, I'm no one at all." Discarnate means being bodiless. Like floating in time and space. Essentially, being... nowhere. Nothing. There are other questions as well, like why are the leaving songs out of order? Well, since the cd is one big circle, we don't believe that it actually begins with Misera Cantare. At the end of Clandestine, there is breathing. Just like at the beginning of Bleed Black. I believe that the album BEGINS with Bleed Black. That would put the song as beginning after Clandestine. There was a theory that the box at the end was just empty. (I forget why.) Well, the first words are, "I am exploring the inside. I find it desolate." So, if it starts with Bleed Black, the breathing at the beginning could represent life. (Being born, perhaps?) That would put the song whose lyrics say, "recreate me," and more importantly, "I know I died that night, and I'll never be brough back to life once again." So, playing that as the first song, and going full circle around the cd, that puts the leaving songs into order, and ends the cd with The Leaving Song Pt II. Now, some people think that Dave "ies" over the course of this cd. Some say that the "eath" (if there is one) occurs during This Time Imperfect. That would make sense that Miseria Cantare would be the beginning... from nowhere. Bodiless... Then comes The Leaving Song Pt II, whose very first lyrics say, "on't waste your touch, you won't feel anything." The spanish in the song says, ""Yo he estado aquß muchas veces antes y regreso" ("I have been here many times before and I return"; "Y regreso aquß otra vez y comenzo" ("So I return here once again and I begin". Like being reborn. The circle of birth and death and rebirth. "I saw its birth. I watched it grow...." Also the fact that the poem is read as in the 3 stages of life. Like he is aging through it. So yeah, it's pretty creepy. That's most of it. There are other small things, like, "Rabbits are roadkill," and then there's the sound of a vehicle accelerating through the rain at the beginning of Silver and Cold. There is also a very small, very blacked out picture of what looks to be a truck or something (maybe the vehicle?) in the book. All sorts of details" |
