I Am Trying Very Hard To Be Here Lyrics

Source: workings out from my brain

Before you came, what was your name
Did you look like me?
No-ones from here, no-one my dear
Not even the trees.
So change your name, just keep your face
We're temporary anyway
Before you came,we played this game in our masquerade

(FLASH FLASH CAR CRASH)
We're not fixtures
(QUICK NOW QUICK)
Take our picture
(FLASH FLASH CAR CRASH)
We're not fixtures
(WHAOH)
Whaoh

What was your past
When was your last time that you recall
Someone you knew
Was someone who asked nothing of you?
So lose your past.
I'm sure you'll find it's in the way all the time
Before you're through
you're someone who looks a lot like you.

(FLASH FLASH CAR CRASH)
We're not fixtures
(QUICK NOW QUICK)
Take our picture
(FLASH FLASH CAR CRASH)
We're not fixtures
(WHAOH)
Whaoh.

We can't remember the seasons
We chant in the manmade snow.
We can't recall the feelings that we cannot show.
Oh!

(WHAOH)
(FLASH FLASH CAR CRASH)
We're not fixtures
(QUICK NOW QUICK)
Take our picture
(FLASH FLASH CAR CRASH)
We're not pictures
WHAOH
Whaoh
(FLASH FLASH CAR CRASH)
We're not fixtures
Quick now quick
Take our picture
(FLASH FLASH CAR CRASH)
We're not fixtures
(WHAOH)
Whaoh

(HEY)
(HEY)

End Transmission Lyrics

Source: Metro Lyrics

Pull the top down,
use your knees to drive
I'll make it worth your while,
just let me taste the sky
You pressed your mouth on mine
and fed me a star
And said " We never, can truly, know who we are "
Know who we are
With the lights out and the night inside
The broken radio was playing suicide
I felt myself falling,
I confess to you I saw a body,
you said you'd seen a few

This night has only just begun
If there's discretion that you'd not abandon,
now's the time
We'll burn against the morning sun
Go grab your bag,
I'll bring the gun, the gun

Keep the top down,
use your knees to drive
I'll hide these words,
they're only yours to find
You pressed your mouth on mine
and said they'd call us stars Then said
"We never can truly know who we are"

This night has only just begun
If there's discretion that you'd not abandon,
now's the time
We'll burn against the morning sun
Go grab your bag, I'll bring the gun

Everything was burning bright,
Everyone was frightened, You, said "Stay strong"
Everybody knowing that what we'd invited,
still,
Remains when we're gone

This night has only just begun
If there's discretion that you'd not abandon,
now's the time
We'll burn against the morning sun
Go grab your bag, I'll bring the gun
Oh!
This night has only just begun
If there's discretion that you'd not abandon,
now is the time
We'll burn against the morning sun
Go grab your bag, I'll bring the gun,
the gun I'll bring the gun Oh.

Darling, I Want To Destroy You Lyrics

SOURCE: Metro Lyrics

Were you dying to go?
You just looked so exposed,
demure through the dark dancing lights.
I glided by.
I can't deny that the shadows betrayed you
and I on that night.

Oh, I must confess I am overdressed.
Are you not impressed? Darling I want to.
I'll confess this too,
must you know the truth this is all for you.
Darling I want to destroy you.

As you reached for my hand did you then understand?
It was I who would lead you that night.
When you begged to know I was glad to show that I needn't be scared,
either way I still bight.

Oh, I must confess I am overdressed.
Are you not impressed?
Darling I want to.
I'll confess this too,
must you know the truth this is all for you.
Darling I want to destroy you.

So here's the final scene when I finally come clean.
I've watched you for years.
And here's my favorite part,
where you beg for my heart and I disappear.

Oh, I must confess I am overdressed.
Are you not impressed?
Darling I want to.
I'll confess this too,
must you know the truth this is all for you.
Darling I want to destroy you.

Veronica Sawyer Smokes Lyrics

Source: Metro Lyrics


Oh my story is not the oldest of it's kind.
I was too touched to see you clearly,
far too young to realize
I had loved so dearly you,
who's world I had designed, but
the sweet smoke came with mirrors
and it brought tears
to my wide eyes.

Dying just to see you...dying since I misconstrued
your blue heart, black eyes, feigning falling, words I won't forget.
I died right when I saw you while you shared that cigarette.

Oh I saw you every time I closed my eyes,
in the Hughes film I had scored,
produced and starred in, in my mind.
I could recite you, well, I'd written every line... but you
strayed far from my flawless script on which I'd spent a
lifetime!

Falling over dead. Dying since I had misread
your blue heart, black eyes, feigning falling, words I won't forget.
I died right when I saw you while you shared that cigarette.
Falling over dead. Dying since I had misread
your blue heart, black eyes, feigning falling, words I won't forget.
I died right when I saw you while you shared that cigarette

LA The Roxy theatre Release party for Crash Love & Live Show

On September 29th, the US release date of Crash Love, there will be a Crash Love Release Party at The Roxy Theartre in LA. At this party, AFI will be performing live, probably they will be performing the entire tracklist of Crash Love aswell as a few of the Concert faves such as Days Of The Phoenix, Miss Murder, Love Like Winter, A Single Second and Girl's Not Grey. This release release party will be at night. If anyone achieves to get to this party, could they please send me an email of the setlist with photos and maybe even a few videos, as I cannot go as I live in the UK and am not a DF member yet. I also believe KROQ are hosting a competition to win three passes for this release party, Paramore's and another band. for more info about the competiton, head over to AFI News HQ or KROQ's offical site.

Leeds Festival AFI Review

okay, I cannot remember the exact order of the setlist but here is a plus rating and a review of what went on:
+++++ (Out of 5 pluses=Top notch!!!)
It was an amazing show that words simply cannot describe. The first song they played was Girl's Not Grey, Davey wearing a white shirt and the crowd completley taken in, singing along to every word he sang enthusiastically. They closely followed GNG with The Leaving Song Pt.II, the whole band doing their best, though I believe Jade missed a note or two at the beginning, the crowd responding with the energy of a raging bull, and as the song ended Davey slipped and fell flat on his back. Jade went to help him up, but then Davey started talking into the microphone and Jade went back to stand by his microphone. Davey went 'Y'know' and then I believe he said something about being glad to be back. He then got up and then they went into Summer Shudder, the crowd yet again providing fantastic backing vocals for the chorus. I can't really remeber the order of the songs after that, I was way too busy partying along to the song s and singing (well screaming) along to davey's every word. Though I can tell you what other songs they played and the order of the final three. They played, Kill Caustic, which was amazing, Dancing Through Sunday was brilliant, Silver And Cold which was fantastic, Days Of The Phoenix was awesome, A Single Second was brilliant, and they also played Love Is A Many Slendored Thing. Now, the final three. They performed Love Like Winter flawlessly, Davey walking down the steps fom stage and walking along the barrier on Verse 2. He didn't come as far along as me though. He then announed Crash Love and the fact it was out inSeptember, then they played medicate, which the majority of the crowd seemed to have lost their voices for, though AFI played it flawlessly, though the vocals were a little quitet on the chorus. They then went into an absolutely daw dropping Miss Murder, the crowd regaining their voices with staggering force, particularly for the classic 'Behind!' at the end of the verses, ending the show on a wonderful high.

Medicate Released

So, what do you think of the new single medicate? Downright goddamn awesome? Pretty good? Or downright crap?
heres the lyrics:

Verse One
Could I, Could I just find a way
I'd find you everyday and we can alter time
But I've come to find everyone's gone away
So this may be the time for the perfect crime
yes this is perfect

CHORUS
This is our medicine This is our time to medicate
You and me, now as we, lose ourselves in this
and ignore that you don't even know my name. Medicate.
You and me, now as we, lose ourselves in this
and ignore that you don't even know my name. Medicate.


Verse Two
Come day, you'll say that you cannot stay
Once more I'll feel the same, it happens every time.
So I've come to find everyone goes away,
I'm destined to remain
You were never mine. So you were perfect.

CHORUS
This is our medicine. This is our time to medicate.
You and me, now as we, lose ourselves in this
and ignore that you don't even know my name. Medicate.
You and me, now as we, lose ourselves n this
and ignore that you don't even know my name. Medicate.

BRIDGE/Verse Three
Can you describe what it's like
I feel nothing. Can you feel this? Does it sting?
I feel nothing at all.
I feel nothing at all.
I feel nothing at all.
Can you tell me how it feels?
I feel nothing at all.
Can we pretend this is real?
I feel nothing.

CHORUS
You and me, now as we, lose ourselves in this
and ignore, that you don't even know my name. Medicate.
You and me, now as we, lose ourselves in us
and ignore that you don't even know my name. Medicate.
You and me, now as we, lose ourselves in us
and ignore that you don't even know my name.

GUITAR SOLO

You don't even know my name.
You don't even know my name. Medicate.

Camille Rose Garcia Makes Crash Love Artwork?

Camille Rose Garcia is an artist who seems to have a very Tim Burton-ish style. On her newspage, she has posted the following update:
"Secret Project with AFI!!
look for it with the release of their new album!!"

Which means to see her Crash Love work, we will have to wait until the album comes out. Or not- her work for the album may be revealed by a member of AFI in the near future. I have personally asked hunter about it via twitter, and I will let you know a soon as I get a reply.

A site you should visit for AFI news: AFI news headquarters

AFI news headquarters is an amzing site for AFI news. Much better than this one, I might add. This blog is mainly for discussion of news and links for any musical leaks of AFI. So please do not mistake this site for a new AFI news headquarters, as it is not, it is just a discussion and music page to be honest.

Ask Hunter Your Crash Love Questions

Hunter has asked people with twitter to ask him questions about the new album for a self interview video he is doing, and he needs questions, so he is asking fans with twitter to ask him questions to ask himself. I have already asked if cold hands and my dream are song titles, and I have also asked about when AFI will tour the UK. Logon/Join up to twitter here http://www.twitter.com

Medicate Lyrics

Oh
Come day, you'll say you cannot stay
What's more, I'll feel the same
It happens every time
So I've come to find, everyone goes away
I'm destined to remain
You were never mine, so you were perfect
This is our medicine, this is our time to medicate.

You and me, now as we, lose ourselves in this and ignore
That you don't even know my name. Medicate.
You and me, now as we, lose ourselves in this and ignore
That you don't even know my name. Medicate.

Once I the full version is available, I will post the full lyrics.

Medicate Opinions

So, what do you think of Medicate so far? Do you think it is absolutely fantastic? Amazing? Or downright crap? Or are you feeling fairly neutral about it at present, hoping the full version of the song will prove itself brilliant when we get to hear it?

'Medicate' Leak!!!

Medicate, the speculated/rumored first single from AFI's upcoming album Crash Love, has been leaked, though it is only 1:20 in length.
