AFI – This Time Imperfect Lyrics

17 years ago

Yeah.. This song is about someone trying to tell someone else they love them. It describes these emotions, and how the person in love longs to get it off their chest. However I do not think that the subject of this song is love, (because it is commonly believed that AFI has never written a love song. A theory I believe.) I think what this song is actually about is sorrow. As are all of the songs on Sing the SORROW. The love causes the sorrow and misery in this case, but it is not the theme. The sorrow is, as for the whole album..

AFI – Wester Lyrics

17 years ago

I completely disagree with lifelesslove, the thing about vampires is complete bullshit. I mean "..vampires have black around their eyes." Come on. And all this stuff about love... I don't think any of AFI's songs are about love. Davey is a very great writer, and I think he likes to mislead people from his actual meanings. But my opinion... I think this song is completely imaginative. I think Davey has in his own mind created a new holiday/season. Easter, a major christian holiday takes place in the spring. Maybe he's trying to say the "opposite" of Easter is Wester, and it takes place in the fall. (Embraced by dead leaves..) Maybe this is a satanic holiday that he had dreamed about. Much like Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast, when a guy witnesses a satanic ritual. (Beneath a dream, lost in a dream) And at the end it says smile, which is never heard in the song. I think that when Davey wrote this he meant to end it by him waking up and saying something like wow wtf, or maybe laughing to himself. ...Just a thought, but is sure beats that Anne Rice novel that lifelesslove was trying to write.

Metallica – The Unforgiven III Lyrics

17 years ago

Well let me start off by saying THEYRE BACK BABY!!! Metallica is one of my all time favorite bands. I personally liked this song along with All Nightmare Long. First of all James Hetfield kicks ass at writing lyrics. But his lyrics are easily understood. In the other two songs the person in the song blames the world and other people for his life being so fucked up. But in this song he realizes that he has made mistakes in his life that have cost him. He realizes that the real person he blames is himself. ...How can I blame you, when It's me I can't forgive...

AFI – Reiver's Music Lyrics

17 years ago

Another Theory... A revier is what they called a sick bay in the Nazi concentration camps. Revier is the shortened name of Krankenrevier. Most of the time when people were sent there, they ended up dying. So the lyrics... All now in dying days would make sense here. So do I've gave up fighting, with only echoes proving that I'm here... I have no desire to leave. I think Davey is talking about this, but using it as a symbol of what it would be like if AFI was no more. ..Those enamored who wont miss us... He's saying that if they go, they will not be remembered and his life would account for nothing.

AFI – The Interview Lyrics

17 years ago

I think this whole album is based around an interview. Some people seem to think that Davey is the one that is being interviewed. I don't think that is so. It think the characters are different members of the ENTIRE band, depending on the song. "The Interview" (track 5) I think shows the entire band's thoughts collectively. This song acts like the title track (which usually sets the tone for a concept album). *Note this is a concept album not a rock opera. It doesn't nessecarily tell a story. But it does have a common "theme". In this case that is an interview. Anyway I think that "The Interview" is the title track for Decemberunderground. In fact it IS the only song on the album that actually includes the word Decemberunderground. This song is to make you think in a certain way. Much as an interviewer's questions would be designed to do. It is setting the stage for the rest of the album. I think this is "where the story starts" as you people say... like some say that the story behind Sing the Sorrow actually starts with the song "Bleed Black". AFI has a tendancy to be quite mysterious. But that is what I like about those guys. These albums are so cleverly designed and descrete that anything and everything set about them could be right in a way, which I think is what they were going for. They do like to include fans. I went to see these guys in Myrtle beach a few days after DU was released and the show was amazing. Their connection with the crowd is unbelieveable as well as the passion they have for their music.

AFI – Decemberunderground Notes Lyrics

17 years ago

I actually think this album focused around an interview... Much like Interview With the Vampire. Most of the notes in DU are basically like quotes, some like someone would give in an interview. I think people are right about there being a character. But the idea of all the songs making up a story is wrong. It's a concept album not a rock opera. All the songs are somewhat about the same subjects and ideas.. they go together. There are no connections to sts as those songs are part of the sts concept and not DU. Now there may be similarites between songs, but that is just because the same band wrote all the songs. As bands do have their own unique writing styles (if they are any good). Also Davey once said in an interview that AFI evolves with each new record. So I think in that evolution as a band they had to look back on what was already done and go from there. But the album is focused around an interview..
