| AFI – Theory of Revolution Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| this song seems to be about how youth today are more lost than ever and are wasting their lives away. | |
| AFI – The Prayer Position Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| i think this song is about a time in davey's life when he realized that he didn't need to live by a religion and other people's standards and morals. | |
| AFI – The Nephilim Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| i think this song is saying that even though others try to numb their pain through means of alcohol and drugs, that you shouldnt follow the same path because you will only destory your life more. while others go along with these deadly trends, you need to stay apart from them and grow stronger. | |
| AFI – The Despair Factor Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| i think this song is about someone very dear to you who gets pushed away from you either by something terrible you did or by something that happened between you. all you can do is wait and hope for this person to come back and forgive you, but everytime they seem near, they are even farther away. At this point you are completely alone; all you want is to see this person again, just one more touch. all you can do now is try to make it through with as little pain as possible. | |
| AFI – Perfect Fit Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| this song is saying that you shouldnt become part of the crowd and live by standards and morals that are not your own. you should never take shame for being yourself. | |
| AFI – Of Greetings And Goodbyes Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| this song sounds like it's about a dream to me. dreams are an oasis within our lives in which we can escape just for a few precious moments from reality. In dreams we are not bound by any standards or rules and can even find others that relate to us. besides being about the nature of dreams in general, i think this song is saying that no matter what you should always dream--it can be very inspiring and gives you a break from your everyday life. | |
| AFI – Narrative of Soul Against Soul Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
I think that this song is about suicide and that it really isn't the way out of your problems. You shouldn't let otheres or bad times drag you down. You have it within yourself to get through, and even if you may not see it, there are people out here who care about you. Just like the last line says, you need to do all that is within your power to go on with your life before giving up: "Before I'd lay me down to rest, I'd throw away everything to live." |

| AFI – Last Caress (Misfits cover) Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| i like afi's cover of this song more than the original. you should check both versions out. be careful though...this psychotic song usually gets stuck in people's head for weeks at a time.. | |
| AFI – Last Caress (Misfits cover) Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| afi did a cover of this for sure. a friend of mine burned it on a cd for me, and it's definitely afi doing a cover of the misfits' "last caress." | |
| AFI – The Lost Souls Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
This song is about a person that you love dearly and would do anything for. To have them would complete you("Look what you've done to me now, you've made me perfect"). But you are so afraid of trying to embrace this person, perhaps because you fear rejection and being hurt like you've been before. Maybe you're even afraid that you'll accidently hurt this person, that you'll make them just like you("I'm sure you'll contract my disease."), someone who is dependent on someone elses love to survive. " Take my hand, I'll be everything to you, Take my hand, I'll take everything from you, I will seep under your skin, I will, I will hold onto your heart, I will." You're afraid that you might bring down this person you care for and admire so much. This song is about the insecurities you encounter when you want to let someone so seemingly perfect and special to you know you care about them. In a way, this song also says to me that you can't love someone else until you love yourself. if you're not comfortable with who you are, how can you embrace someone else? |

| AFI – Exsanguination Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| I believe this song is about how other people and hard times can really bring you down. But ultimately, you learn from this situation--you are no longer lost and blinded and this situation where these people had been holding you down brings you a new realization. You are "reborn." | |
| AFI – Clove Smoke Catharsis Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| I believe this song is about a time in Davey's life when he was going through some stough times and asked someone(maybe friends or a girlfriend) to help him. Even though he had always been there for this person(or people), they do nothing to help him. Maybe it seemed like somebody who came along could be help, but they were just like the rest. Eventually, he sees that there is no use in trying to overcome this problem. He also realizes that he must get away from these people who used him and left him so helpless. Not able to take anymore, he gives up and moves on. | |
| AFI – A Story At Three Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
i think this song is about in the midst of all of life's struggles, there's someone or something there in which you can take comfort in. "Again and again they blend into one, my father the morning pushes through moonlight love. " the "morning" could be the people who aren't pleased with the way he dresses or with what he's involved in(maybe his father?) and it's pushing away the "moonlight love" that he gets from other people like him who understand him. "So what's sleep? Sleep. I'm tired, so tired, but it seems that there's someone here with me. " he's been so dragged down by the people who don't approve of him, but it doesn't matter because he's with people who truly understand him. "We are the wakeful, wry, watchful. We're awaiting. Deathless ones. " he's describing himself and his trusted friends. they aren't fooled into becoming part of the crowd. They know that others may beat them down, but a change is coming and they can overcome those who have done injustices to them. They will never be brought down. They are the "deathless ones." "A story at three with the shrillest of cries." At the peak of their suffering, they rebel. "My mind fights with the sparkles in the corner of my eyes." he feels so lost of confused by these people who won't accept him without knowing who he truly is "I hear the morning choir sing to me their elegy. So beautiful. They sing to me their elegy. Requiem." but at the hardest times, there is something or someone(the morning choir) that brings him hope and relief. With his hope renewed, he can continue his fight and go on. i don't know if davey wrote these lyrics with the intention of this being their meaning or if you interpret them the same or not, but that is part of the beauty of afi. people can take so much meaning from these songs in so many different ways. afi are a band like no other. |
