Rabbits Are Roadkill on Route 37

To me the lines: "I can hate myself More, More than anyone" Don't suggest that the person being sung about (lets just say him to make it easier) hates himself but emphasises that he has the ability to. That he finds it easier to hate himself then he does to hate other people, but also that his potential for self loathing is so great that it cannot be surpassed by anyone elses feelings towards him. Also the bit after that where he's questioning his suffering, is it caused by himself, by his own self loathing and the despair that ensues or has it been helped along by another, someone who encourages it and helps it to grow and consume him.

Idk, to me it feels like that section is almost seperate to the rest of the song, a little aside with it's own meaning.

come on, no one heard this song, it´s an unreleased song from Sing the Sorrow, it will be released on a compilation.

They just put it up on the official AFI profile on Myspace.com - I heard for the first time ever last night and I think it's brilliant. I think it'll feature on the next album. Check out www.afireinside.net/temp.html - it's a teaser to the new revamped site for the next site! =oD

BTW, I believe the meaning refers to Davey Havok's zodiac sign, the Rabbit. Rabbits cannot be reincarnated according to mythology, and route 37 refers to the divine number 337, which features heavily in Sing the Sorrow material. Route 37 could mean the highway to Heaven. Davey cannot enter Heaven if he dies. =o)

No, in the interview he actually said route 37 exists... but the site is cool, I know :D, can't wait till february

I still think the number 37 has some relation with the repeated 337 numerology in Sing the Sorrow material though =o) It even features on the Clandestine DVD - all the clocks throughout that film are even at the time 3:37. It's quite cool hehe xhXix

Yeah, some people say Rabbits Are Roadkill On Route 37 is 3 R's so 337... But the lyrics don't make much sense to me, it seems to be about an ex-lover but that's not AFI-like.

There was a theary on AFIs message board some time back about STS being about Daveys relation with the fans, of how many find AFI at a hard time in their lives and abandon them after they recover.

I would like to add a few changes to what i think are the almost correct lyrics. Towards the end of the song it gets sort of hard to understand what Davey is saying but here goes:

What once did exist now is meaningless and doesn't it seem funny how soon you did forget (how soon you did forget) All the words have now lost their weight But I remember, I remember

Desperation, devastation All I truly know . . . all that I know Is isolation, self-damnation All light that I'd owned was shed and worthless now

What I knew was wrong, one who lived is gone Guess it was just an echo when you would sing my song (when you would sing my song) All the notes you'd forgotten now You left abandoned, I remember

Desperation, devastation All I truly know . . . all that I know Is isolation, self-damnation All light that I'd owned was shed and worthless now

I can hate myself more, more than anyone.

Will you join me?

I know you know that this tortures me Have I've created the suffering? Show life Or do you happily cut further in? To sever words left inside that binds me

Now all I feel is

Desperation, devastation All I truly know . . . all that I know Is isolation, self-damnation All light that I'd owned was shed and worthless now

Desperation, devastation All I truly know . . . all that I know Is isolation, self-damnation All light that I'd owned was shed and was this worthless now?

this song rocks

it should be on the next album

i think its a LIE that i owned..? but i am a total retard with hearing problems..I SWEAR lmao. ahahah. o_o WELL im outie, bye bye friends :)
