Half-Empty Bottle Lyrics

The ends don't always justify the means,
but I know what it takes to get what I need.
I've got the cure when passive protest just wont do.
Just flick my Bic as I hold it to the fuse.
Smash it up. Break it down.
Bring it down, down to the ground.
Tear it up. Burn it down.
Burn it down, down to the ground.
How long have we waited for the day when they tighten their grips and we slip away?
The sound of breaking glass drives me back up.
It makes me whole when I've been down on my luck.

This song means absolutely nothing to me. But I think it does symbolize anger. I love this song though

i agree that it involves anger, but in a way it reminds me of cutting, although i'm not sure that that's what it's about.

i think this song is about protesting, fcking sht up, destroying stuff, rebelling against the authorities.

Yeah, sounds like they are angry and they want to rebel, so they just destroy as much shit as they can, and it makes them feel a little bit better about their current situations.

Where do you think they got the name "Half Empty Bottle" from?

Cover art for Half-Empty Bottle lyrics by AFI

aws: Perhaps it's alluding to the "half-empty or half-full" question. In this case, it gives a negative connotation to the song.
