In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
So I'm feeling much worse now
You're better. You're better
Your designer drug won't work
won't work for me
Connect to a three-volt
I hope your battery dies
How could you run on such
on such voltage?
All the same
I remain
The one to blame and I'm
Demonized
Purified
Justified
As you let yourself show
So now you'll love these screams
Whats left of me? (Don't speak)
Love these screams like I do (Don't speak)
As the infinite stops cold
Just nine and the six are gone
Guess I was the one to
Ride that dirty ride
That is turning so fast now
I cannot hold on
But at this pace
Who would, Who would want to?
All the same
I remain
The one to blame and I'm
Demonized
Purified
Justified
As you let yourself show
So now you'll love these screams
Whats left of me? (Don't speak)
Love these screams like I do (Don't speak)
Don't ever speak my name.
Don't ever speak my name again, don't ever speak it.
Don't ever speak my name again, don't speak, don't speak.
Don't speak my name.
So now you'll love these screams
Whats left of me? (Don't speak)
Love these screams like I do (Don't speak)
You're better. You're better
Your designer drug won't work
won't work for me
Connect to a three-volt
I hope your battery dies
How could you run on such
on such voltage?
All the same
I remain
The one to blame and I'm
Demonized
Purified
Justified
As you let yourself show
So now you'll love these screams
Whats left of me? (Don't speak)
Love these screams like I do (Don't speak)
As the infinite stops cold
Just nine and the six are gone
Guess I was the one to
Ride that dirty ride
That is turning so fast now
I cannot hold on
But at this pace
Who would, Who would want to?
All the same
I remain
The one to blame and I'm
Demonized
Purified
Justified
As you let yourself show
So now you'll love these screams
Whats left of me? (Don't speak)
Love these screams like I do (Don't speak)
Don't ever speak my name.
Don't ever speak my name again, don't ever speak it.
Don't ever speak my name again, don't speak, don't speak.
Don't speak my name.
So now you'll love these screams
Whats left of me? (Don't speak)
Love these screams like I do (Don't speak)

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
AFI doesn't suck and neither does The Clash they're the best bands everrrrrrr
