AFI – The Leaving Song Lyrics 19 years ago
"hard to notice what is passing by when your staring at the cracks, hard to nitice what is passing by with eyes lowered"

he's looking down all the time and doesn't nitice the world going on around him.

"you..walked away"

someone left him...perhaps and old girlfriend.

AFI – The Killing Lights Lyrics 19 years ago
I believe this song is about vampires.

Five A.M. on the bathroom floor from the night before
Do you find me dreadful?
What a shame such a sad disgrace,
Such a pretty face, but she's not regretful.

Well, that is obviously about sex...

It's killing time again

Vampires killing.

Three A.M. on the city street,
When the air is sweet
i have had my mouthful.

It's after killing time. The vampire has had enough. It has had its mouthful of blood. The air is sweet...i have no idea.


You see, they always remember,
They never forget a face

Vampires never forget who they bite.

Mouth slack and wide

Reminds me of someone being drunk.

AFI – On The Arrow Lyrics 19 years ago
This is such a beautiful song. It makes me want to cry whenever I hear it, but I listen to it anyway. It's like a mix of The Leaving Song, Endlessly She Said, Silver and Cold, and Morningstar. It should have been on Decemberunderground.
He said "I’ve now stayed too long here."
"Goodbye" She said, "I’ll wait here for you."
He knows the winds carry sorrow
As they leave, she'll follow
They leave tomorrow

I think that is about the "he" commiting suicide. The "she" cannot live without the "he" and is ging to commit suicide as well.

AFI – The Days Of The Phoenix Lyrics 19 years ago
No one could can see me

Whoooooaaa
I fell into yesterday
whooooooaaa
Our Dreams seemed not far away
I want to, I want to, I want to stay
Whoooooaaa
I fell into fantasy

It sound like he wants to be invisible, but he wants to stay visible at the same time.

The girl on the wall always waited for me
She was always smiling
The teenage death boys
The teenage death girls
And everyone was dancing
Nothing could touch us then
No one could change us then
Everyone was dancing
Nothing could hurt us then
No one could see us then
Everyone was dancing
Everyone was dancing


It sound like he is in Decemberunderground. Ha. Even though DU probably wasn't even an idea then, the whole song reminds me of it. About how he "fell into yesterday""no one could hurt us then, no one could see us then, no one could change us then""i fell into fantasy" DU is kind of a fantasy. like he was hiding away in DU and it was giving him protection and stuff like that.

i think this has a "stick your finger down your throat and puke up some glamour" vibe to it.


Ha.

AFI – Decemberunderground Notes Lyrics 19 years ago
It's freezing, but it is the desert, what to do? maybe we'll see a body. Maybe we'll see a few. I shook, did you?

i agree with akaloowanton with the summer shudder part. "i shook, did you?" reminded me of "with just a look, they shook" from miss murder. like when they looked at you they made you shudder, or shake or shook, and the desert part reminded me of summer, put together is summer shudder.

AFI – Girl's Not Grey Lyrics 19 years ago
The video for this song explains a lot. The band starts out playing in a a dark alley, in a kind of blu-ish light. and the band is covered in black paint. then there is a girl dressed in a long coat and she has bright blue hairand is pale. there's also a large rabbit, which starts out red. the girl and the rabbit travel to another "world" by walking past jade, the guitarist. the other "world" is pink and bright and there is flowers and trees and long grass everywhere. the rabbit has turns blue. the girl is wearing bright clothes, and has an animated look to her head. she has huge eyes and very bright hair, which might explain the title, girls not grey, because the girl is definatley not grey. the rest of the video the band is seen playing in the two "worlds". there are clips of them playing in both of the "worlds". at the end, the rabbit kind of evaporates into a bunch of flower petals or feathers, and as that happens, the girl dissappears, and davey looks like he's throwing up a bunch of feathers or flower petals in the dark blue-ish alley.

i also noticed:
"this art does drown" they have a cd called the art of drowning. i thought that might have something to do with it.

"I'd send God's grace tonight
Could it be found?"
could God possibly not be able to find the grace that davey sent Him..

I agree with TurnDownTheSun.
lots of their songs are about death and dying. like silver and cold. in the video he almost commits suicide, and in love like winter, he drowns. also miss murder, he sings about taking his life.
