| AFI – Miss Murder Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Miss murder is death, and he is singing as an observer of the situation and as the person in the situation, who just commit suicide The chours is the man asking Miss Murder if he takes his life, will his beauty stay - not meaning physical beauty, but he feels like his life is worthless and thinks if commits suicide his life will be remembered in a good way, before it gets any worse. The 1st verse is him singing as the observer, telling us that the man did indeed have a beautiful life and he was oblivous to it. The 2nd verse he is saying that he left the beauty of the world behind, his family and loved ones, as well as everyone else on earth and he's wondering why he would do such a thing? 4th verse says all who remember him, remember him when his life came crashing down, and not before when they all adored him. 5th verse he's asking how he could of left the beauty of the world behind, give up on the human race, and leave his kids in such a heartbreak. the 5th verse he's asking 'what the reason was for this verbose mystery', verbose -means the use of too many words, so the singer is telling us this mystery is filled with too much detail and it's not a mystery at all, so thats why he's willing to bet his life on it,because it's so obvious to why he commited suicide. Then he says "the ghost you love", he means the ghost of the man who just commited suicide - his memory, will in the end be forgotten, even restented, an it something thats inevitable. Then he says humans live like there's no point to life, and are always wanting God to save them. We are always wanting to be saved by God and have a better life, but are we really worthy? no. | |
