|
Pretty self explanatory... I will return again/ I am a part of you.... (She will never be able to escape him because he was a strong force in her life, she can deny it to everyone but his memory will haunt her.) Are you somewhere listening to me? Have these whispers finally found the cracks? White walls won't forever keep these screams They will shatter ( white walls maybe referencing the walls in an asylum that are sound proof and padded....the white walls she is protected by will buckle under the pressure of the truth) Secretly, you know that I'm still here While you're being held you're so alone For you killed the only one who cared Let it shatter. (There is a voice within the walls) ( she's with this other guy but empty inside because it means nothing and this person doesn't actually care about her. She destroyed the man who truly cared for her) What do you do When my soul invites you? Oh, you'll see me again You know this will never end What do you do When your heart reminds you? Oh, you'll put me to death But I will return again ( when she remembers him and the memories, when she reawakens and realizes...when her heart aches and reminds her. She'll try to shut him out but she never really can, his memory will always haunt her) |

|
I wanted to save you Give breath that escaped you But you stayed down (stayed down) To resuscitate you Breathe my breath back into you You stayed out (stayed out) (Davey felt her slipping away from him, he tried to pour himself into her, to bring her back from this stupor and this slow pulling away.) I wanted to shake you To scream to awaken you You stayed down (stayed out) (It was like she was in a trace, so unlike herself, where had she gone? Shake her and scream to bring her back) In your slumber you saw everything Everything but me Why must we stop? Why must we stop now? Why must you crush our glow? Don't you know that heaven is slow? Don't remake our heaven ( why are you doing this? Why are you destroying us? Heaven is slow meaning that creating a relationship takes time...don't remake our heaven....don't remake it with somebody else. Why when you already have it?) I wanted to save us Wept words that escaped us But you stayed out (You shut them out) I fell down to face you To find you were wakeful And you'd forced me out, I'm nothing now ( Davey tried, he struggled to hold it all together..she would hear none of it, she had already discarded it all....she single handedly took the relationship and dissolved it and he was left in the wake stunned and crestfallen) In your slumber you saved everything Everything but me (In her peaceful trance lost she cut him out completely ) Why must we stop? Why must we stop now? Why must you crush our glow? Don't you know that heaven is slow? Don't remake our heaven Why must we stop? Why must we stop now? Why must you crush our glow? Don't you know that heaven is slow? Don't erase our heaven |

| I meant circle of salt. Also those are her attempts to protect herself from the ghost of his memory. | |
| AFI – Rewind Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| This song is about the regret the betrayer feels, the suffering that Davey wishes upon them in "I hope you suffer" is creeping upon her. This girl is awake at night and Davey is haunting her, but not just that, he is feeding off of her suffering with a level of glee or satisfaction or maybe even a fake smile like all the fakery she used on him "never caring always smiling/here to feed when you are falling". The lines about drawing a line and circle of sand references her attempts to run away from the memory of him and what she had done. "Hide inside, call your doting dogs as their weak servility feeds your emptiness" leaning upon her friends or other men to hold her up like crutches she is grasping for relief but nothing can relieve her. These lines also imply, by "doting", an impression that she was probably quite narcissistic with many yes men around her probably because of her beauty or some such. Davey is also denying her his presence, he has removed himself from her physically, and states that she can't apologize, implying that she won't even have the benefit of relabeling some of that tremendous guilt. This entire albumn hits so close to home with what is going on my life exactly I know PRECISELY what Davey is singing about. | |

| I agree on some points but I don't believe it's as literal as being about an actual ghost. | |
