Dear uninformed haters- It seems to me that you have not only been misinformed about AFI, but also uninformed regarding etiquette . Please seek help in the future. Regards, The "bad taste in music" proper etiquette user. |

| AFI – The Leaving Song Pt. 2 Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I have to say something about the part of the song that Let it Be Broke wrote down...I use to think that it was just him whispering something in the background, but I listened to it harder and it actually sounds more like a woman, and here's what she actually says.. Davey: Look what I've built! Woman: Please don't do this Davey: It shines so beautifully! Woman: Why won't you look at me? Yea well I just thought I'd ought to point that out |

| AFI – Paper Airplanes (Makeshift Wings) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I also have to agree that this song is about people, or maybe just "someone" who was following a fad they thought was so "cool" And as the person finally is destroyed because their "fad" is over, outdated, Davey is meanwhile down in his own little secluded spot dancing in the persons lost fame, in their tears of sorrow, in their dust and ashes of what once was alive, but has now died out. But one thing most didn't comment on were the "paper wings"..I think what he meant by "wings" is very simple, the person was feeling high in their fame, they were flying in all the attention, they felt higher then all others...but now, their wings are stripped off, their fame is ripped away, their wings are being burnt, and their popularity turns to smoke. I have one last thing to say...and this is to nopoetic...I'm not saying that you shouldn't have your own opinion, that's fine that you think their cd sucks, think what you like, but...it's not bad for someone to expand their horizons and try new things...just because you're not happy with it doesn't mean others aren't...I love the cd, I've heard their old songs, and their new ones, I think the new ones have more meaning, but I also love the old ones because they're so much fun...but there's nothing wrong with having meaning...And how would you know if they have a certain meaning or not? If he hasn't told you personally that they don't have a specific meaning and are just put together, then it's just rude to say that it's bullshit. Again, I'm not saying it's bad to have your own opinion, but if someone wants to try something new, don't stop them from it, let them be who they choose to be. It hurts to have someone try to change you. |

YES! I agree with valo with all my heart! I would have said something like that if I knew how to word it that well! ^^ But yes, just because someone likes AFI doesn't mean their gothic. I hate it when people lable other people >.< I don't like being labled...I don't know what I am really...I listen to punk/goth/hardcore music, and some other things that are totally opposite from that just for fun, sometimes it just fun to sit with your friends and scream out all the old brittney spears songs (that you know EVERYONE knows) just for a good laugh. What's life without laughter anyway huh? I'm not a prep, but I'm not exactly a goth either...I dress the way I like, and I listen to the music I like...I'm tired of all the girls asking me at school what I am...WHAT DO I LOOK LIKE? I'M A HUMAN!! Why should you be judged on what you wear? I guess I wear kinda punkish clothes, the stud belt, converse shoes, rock shirts, but I also wear cute shirts when I'm in the mood, or a cute skirt. This one girls like "So, um, I've seen you wear punk clothes, but then on other days I've seen you wear like, really really cute outfits..so..what are you?" BAH! I'm whatever I feel like ok! Sorry about the rambling..but it all comes down to AFI..they are my favorite group, because I feel they have an understanding of so much...They are often so misunderstood by those who have never listened to them and know nothing about them..just like myself...I am always misunderstood...so, when I listen to AFI, I feel there's someone else, some other people out there who feel my pain, but don't like to talk about it. I owe AFI and Davey my life..they've helped me out through so many problems. Like valo said...their songs don't circle around bringing people down and depression, but they have enlightenment..they let you know you are understood, there ARE people out there who will listen. I haven't been a fan for very long...but does time really make a fan..a "fan"? No, I don't think so. I think what makes a fan is in their heart. Just because you buy all their merchandise doesn't make you different from the fan who doesn't have a penny but sits there and listens to them when they have the time. Some fans are more dedicated than others..but that doesn't mean anything..they still like/love what they're listening to and they believe in their own meanings of the songs, and what feeling they get when they listen to it. Bah, sorry I wrote so much...I just had to get that out...congrats to all who read it ^-^ *hands you a flower* But yes back to the song...I'm not saying anyone's right or anyone's wrong...this is just what I think...I think the overall "subject" of the song is just his life. 1st verse: His life has just been terrible, no longer covered up by the good things that never happen anymore...He would love to leave his dark world of life, he just can't stay anymore...But where else is there to go? He wants to share his pain with someone but..what could he say to them? Nothing looks hopeful, everything is turning dark.. "I cannot leave here, I cannot stay. Forever haunted, more than afraid. Asphyxiate on words I would say. I'm drawn to a blackened sky as I turn blue." Chorus: He believes that no longer will life be joyous, hence the "There are no flowers, no not this time." Nothing beautiful will ever come out of his life again, hence "There will be no angels gracing the lines." (WoO! did you check out my username? This is where I got it, OF COURSE. ^^ One of my favorite lines by Davey ^.^) He has been beaten and worn out by all the horrible, dark things that have happened in his life. He use to be able to just brush them off and put on a smile...but now..he just can't do it,- "I'd show a smile but I'm too weak." `He's ready to express what's bothering him...but the words just won't form.."I'd share with you, could I only speak, just how much this hurts me." 2nd verse: He now sees that everything in his whole life was just fake..unreal..never true...The love he received, the love he handed out, to his family, friends, lovers...the hearts of those he thought loved him where just as black as his sky...so, if that was all fake, he actually had no love, no hope, no faith from anyone...then he himself must be nothing..who is someone without love? Nothing but fragments of dust..nothing...and no one is there to grab him out of his abiss, to take his hand and make it all better..to love him...to make him someone..."I cannot stay here. I cannot leave. Just like all I loved, I'm make-believe. Imagined heart, I disappear. Seems no one will appear here and make me real." Bridge: Not even in sleep can he escape his doom of life. His dark room of horror...they only continue as nightmares..."Cuts through my day and sinks into my dreams." All those around him...everyone he thought loved him..and he thought he loved himself...they just ignore him..he's caught in the dark, therefore he isn't worth saving...just turn your head and look away...it's only dust that's crying..."You don't care that it haunts me." Ending: As stated before...it's not just his dark life that has now creeped up on him and will not leave that hurts him, it's all those who don't care anymore...they hurt him more than life itself...and because of them, the curse is deepened...like knife into his heart..."Just how much this hurts me...just how much this hurts me...just how much you..." Well I hope you enjoyed my little explanation of them wonderful, beautiful, enchanting, sorrowful song for all those who read it...sorry again that it's so long...but once I get on the subject of AFI and Davey's enthralling lyrics...I can never shut up ^_^ Oh yes and, I doubt any of the singers actually read these things but..just incase they do...I wanted to say thank you so much to Davey Havok for writing these songs...you don't know how much you've helped me through my life..I can't explain in words how much respect, love, and admiration I feel towards you...and not just you, for where would you be without the whole band? Thanks to AFI for understanding, and good luck to them for the rest of their life, may it be successful and never ever change who you are just because of people out there who just don't get it...there are others who understand...Thank you AFI |

| AFI – This Celluloid Dream Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I LOVE this song! It has a really great beat. Of course all of AFI's unique songs do ^-^ Although I can't say I have a "absolutely MOST favorite ever" songs because I LOVE all of AFI's songs, this is one of them I do like to listen to more ^^ lol The line "To the lovely dancing lights, I begged, "May I cut in?" But they never stopped playing their song" is deffinately one of my favorite lines from them, because i can relate to it in a way that, there was this one person i liked, and i wanted to get together with him, but he was with this girl, and usually relationship dont last that long so i thought i'd wait but...they never stopped playing their song...so they're still together...still dancing...sorry if you dont quite know what i'm talking about...i know its kinda hard to understand | |
| AFI – The Prayer Position Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I do agree that the song has to do about religion (obviously) "Pushed to our knees so let us pray" But I'm still not sure what to believe about everything that he's saying. I am a christian...but i still LOVE this song. I like the line "pushed to our knees so let us pray" because sometimes i feel like i'm totally being pressured into religion...and i hate it. I believe in God, but that doesnt mean i have to go to church every single fuckin sunday morning! going or not going to church doesnt make u better in any way, obviously my mom doesnt see that. So i DO feel like i'm being PUSHED to my knees. My mom always forces religion on me and i'm tired of it!! of course that doesnt change my belief in God. But that doesnt mean i have to act like miss-goody-two-shoes either! i have made A LOT of sins in my life. And i know i'm going to make more. No ones perfect. ANd i'm tired of my family PUSHING me to BE perfect! So yes, this song does have a special meaning to me. And I love it, even if it is suppose to be against people who are christian or any other religion. People need to understand that not everyone who has a specific religion are all the same "make a mistake and ur going to hell" people. I dont push anyone into my religion, because i hate being pushed into my own religion by my parents..but i still have faith..i hope you guys understand what i'm trying to say lol | |

Well, this is my first time posting ANYTHING here at this lovely website lol and i'd just like to say that all of u have wonderful explanations of these songs. Infact, well, you see, i'm kinda like Davey in a way that he doesnt like to give meanings to his songs to disappoint people in what they're thinking,well, i dont like to guess what they're about so i dont disappoint Davey and the AFI gang in thinking differently than what the song really means...hope you got all that lmao but a lot of you have REALLY convincing explanations. And dont get me wrong, i'm not saying its bad to say what you think about the songs or to guess what they mean. I DO do it, i'm just afraid of getting the meaning wrong lol. But I absolutely LOVE AFI. Davey writes such MAGICAL lyrics. Sing the Sorrow was the first album i had from them, and i am now i guess you could say obsessed with them, thats what everyone says lol I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THE CD!!!!!!! the songs never get old! I listen to them over and over and over again and its like hearing them for the first time! they're so....beautiful...this was the first song i ever heard from them, and i just fell in love with their music. Some I can relate to, if i guess right to what it means lol and all the others i just respect because they're just so great. Davey is an awesome person and i admire him sooo much! i would love to be able to write like him. He such a great man, and sexy to boot ^.~ hehe I dont really know the meaning of this song, but it holds a special "meaning" to me and i LOVE the video!!! |
