| The Used – Slit Your Own Throat Lyrics | 18 years ago |

i really like this song. this and lies for the liars is a serious change for the used in the right direction. they're starting to blend the new stuff with the old stuff. :] correction on lyrics though: 1]I gotta take this moment, just to push you down. 2] Sticky time for the shallow believer but i guess you already knew that. |

To Hr: You do realize that 'Once Upon Your Dead Body', 'Wake Up' & 'The Suffering' are all from the Writer's point of view and have nearly nothing to do with Newo and Claudio, right? |

| Coheed and Cambria – 21:13 Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| So some of you are right, and some of you are wrong. i've read part of the comics (the part that this and other songs pertain to) and this is what this song means. it's claudio having nightmares about the death of his family. 21:13 is military time for 9:13, which is when Coheed kills Claudio's little brother and sister, Maria and Matthew. I think this is also the time when Josephine (his older sister) and Patrick are beaten (in Josie's case, raped too) by the Jersey City Devils. This is not when she turns 21 or 23 (fyi, the Sinstar virus becomes active when the host turns 23, but from the time she was killed, Josie was five days away from turning 23). anyway, so the lines "When the memories occur of a life you haven't lived" is in relation to what was happening to Coheed and Cambria before this. They were having visions and pains and such as a result of what/why/who created them. In the comic, Mayo questions Coheed about it and Mayo explains to him that they are memories of a "life" (or purpose) that was supposed to be wiped from both of their minds. Maybe they've passed on those memories to Claudio. and the "IRO-bot will never die" is either foreshadowing to something else (maybe KBI comes back) or just the fact that Claudio will always keep the memory of his parents alive. | |

wow. you all have such a different idea on this song. so i'll tell you two things for certain, and one thing not so sure. first, this song is about NEWO. not Ambellina, not Erica Court. second, the feathers are a metaphor for her evil deeds. remember that the Writer created Newo in the likeness of Erica's evil side. i'm not sure, but maybe Newo's got this idea that Claudio going to abandon his mission to come back to her. the line 'do you really want him calling, Newo?' is like a warning of him discovering how bad she is. the night that Claudio's parents left, was the same night that he spent watching over Newo. then he left without saying goodbye so i think that that still haunts him, that he never had closure with his first love. but as it is, Claudio's destiny is still more important than anything else and Newo knows that and she's upset about it. 'do you really think he's coming back to you' is the realization of that and the crying is her unforgiving nature acting against Claudio and the end of the world. |

| Blaqk Audio – Wake Up, Open the Door and Escape to the Sea Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
All I can say is that you can literally hear Davey's heart breaking during this song. It's tragic. I'm confirmed that this song is about a (excuse my french) fuck-buddy who he didn't mean to fall in love with. "You taught me how it can feel like love" makes me think it's not a real relationship. This boy he sings about is distant from him, in such a away that Davey feels hopeless in his affection. "Gotta tell me how we ever got this cold" is saying that they've come to a point where they just going through the motions, so to speak. "what's left unspoken" i honestly believe are the words I love you; he's never going to hear that, so he is just accepting it. And "pretend that nothing's broken" Davey refers to his heart. "Censoring the ending" I'm sure means that he's not going to tell this boy how he feels, so that it's easier for both of them. Truly an amazing song. But I'm wondering what the voices are saying in the beginning; does anyone know? |

| Blaqk Audio – Mute Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I like this song a lot too, and I was watching a Blaqk Audio interview the other day and they mentioned this one. Davey and Jade both said that this song was one of the first BA songs written (Snuff On Digital being the other). And if you just look at the lyrics, listen to the melody, and just the layout of the song you can tell that it is really old. It predates Sing The Sorrow because the imagery isn't there, you hear the song more as a statement than a story. But I don't think it's any earlier than Black Sails because of melody and concept. It's an excellent song, and I'm really glad they waited to put it on a BA album rather than make it an AFI song. | |
| AFI – The Missing Frame Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Davey makes a lot of references to film. Like "Over Exposure" (even if it may be just the title, "The Despair Factor" (there's the line: my life is a darkroom), "This Celluloid Dream". But on this album, it's almost extreme. 4 tracks lined up (The Missing Frame, Kiss And Control, The Killing Lights & 37mm) all have heavy cinema references. Coupled with the imagery of Miss Murder, Summer Shudder and Love Like Winter, it's almost like a movie within itself. Perhaps a movie about Decemberunderground? [Which Davey said was a time and a place] The Missing Frame, I think, is a song about a person trapped in a Hollywood-esque manner. The itself implies that the "movie" misses portraying the person as they truly are. |

| AFI – Decemberunderground Notes Lyrics | 18 years ago |

I've come to realize that nothing AFI does is ironic, or unintentional. So I've been trying to figure this one out too, and at first, I totally thought what you said natures_travesties. I even had a list which was (in their respective orders according to notes): Prelude 12/21, Summer Shudder, Miss Murder, The Interview, Love Like Winter, The Missing Frame, Affliction, Kiss And Control, The Killing Lights, 37mm & Endlessly, She Said. But then I had some trouble matching the songs to the words, and it occured to me that they sounded like lines from really old movies (i watch them a lot >_ |

| Blaqk Audio – The Love Letter Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This is most definitely my favorite song on the album. It's so full of passion and sadness, it really makes you feel it. But after I heard it like the third time, I started to think about the meaning behind it. I don't think it's necessarily a love song to someone as it is a "letter" to his fans. We've spent years tearing apart these songs, trying to find hidden meanings, we go to shows hoping they'll show us a clue. We've found out so much, but there's something that keeps us wondering. Don't you think Davey has secrets, like everybody else? So I think this is really what this song is about: his secret that he's kept. Something so "explosive", meaning that it could break our hearts or something equally as dramatic. I think Davey really feels disconnected from the world, and there's a part of him that he has to hide from everyone. So when he says "Walk right through me, I'm not really there" and "If we meet, please avert your eyes", he means that we don't know his true self, and he can't show us. "The poison" he talks about, I think that means what we say, good and bad, and we change him because of it. The thing that "should mean nothing to you" and "meant something to me" is, again, that secret. "I draped it in cold and in clarity", I think this means he's mentioned it before. The end part about "a day gone away", I think this means we're getting closer to knowing. So Davey wrote the whole song as a warning, so we do find out whatever it is, it won't destroy us or what we think about him. |
