this song is hard to explain and intrepret.
"I saw an insect learn to fly; its form was scorned. Have you ever seen the kingdom of the flys? I saw it stay in sovereignty"
not many people pay much attention to flys, but he took the time to whatch it learn to fly, he also looked at the kingdom, that insect stayed in rule. of what?
"Let's lift you up so we can see how fast you fall. We always thought that you could fly; now you'll crawl" put the insect thing and this togther you could say he's not talking about insects at all. something that was scorned, stayed in rule. iam sure you hear of fallen angels. and intresting thing is after Satan decived man in the Garden, God told Satan that he would be forced to crawl ("now you'll crawl") on his belly and eat the dust (have you ever turned to dust?)
"Now show me how to shine"
Satan shined and Davey whants to know how.
"The lack of loyalty you thought you once felt, now you're gonna feel it" Satan probly felt betrayed because things didn't work out how he whanted to. and now Davey demanding to know how to shine is going to acheive (wishfull thinking mabey?) what Satan did not.
and by the way i think that none of AFI's songs are about love because in the song "smile" he says "i'll light the world on fire, and in the burning light i'll write my first love song." well the world ain't burning yet, nor are his followers many enough to make light with the fire inside them.
