Hope unknown, sometimes just waking is surreal.
I walk right through the nameless ones.
I know that hope's unknown.
Sometimes the water feels so real.
As I walk through it fills my lungs, my god, I'm drowning.

This day never seems to end.
This pain, never.
This day never seems to end.
This rage I can not let go.

I hear them calling.
I feel them gnawing out holes
all through out our flawless souls.

I hear them calling.
I feel them gnawing out holes
all through out our flawless souls.

So alone.
Sometimes I swear that I can hear the taunting of the voiceless ones.
I fear that I alone fear those who finally ceased to feel,
That they're alone inside this place.
I am the misplaced.

This day never seems to end.
This pain, never.
This day never seems to end.
This rage I can not let go.

I hear them calling.
I feel them gnawing out holes
all through out our flawless souls.

I hear them calling.
I feel them gnawing out holes
all through out our flawless souls

Now every face, it looks familiar...
Then every face would melt away until...
Now everyone, do you know, I know your deception?

I hear them calling.
I feel them gnawing out holes
all through out our flawless souls

I hear them calling.
I feel them gnawing out holes
all through out our flawless souls

    My Interpretation:the person in this song has an invincible/immortal soul in purgatory, hence the name Totalimmortal.
    "i pass right through the namesless ones" is a purgatory example. also: ->
    "i know that hope's unknown" he knows that what will be of him, his judgement, is pending.
    "sometimes the water feels so real. as i walk through it fills my lungs" their perception of reality and imagination is distorted because of this newly acquired immunity against biological death, yet not protected against pain.
    "this day never seems to end. this PAIN never"
    so his days are infinite but also is his ability to feel pain
    "i feel them gnawing out holes, all through flawless souls"

    General Comment:i definetly agree with totallymortal. i never really thought about the whole double title thing until now. but it really makes sense. and about the whole sXe thing too. being sXe myself, i'm really proud of Davey and his decision to be edge and keeping with it through his whole life. when it says "so alone" it could be referring to how he feels alone about being one of the few edge people out there.

    General Comment:I love this song so much... Why am I like the only one out of my musical friends? Some friends think it's "alright". I think it's like one of the best AFI songs ever, even Offspring covered it lol!

    General Comment:i don't know. it doesn't seem to me like its that deep. just sounds like another teen angst song about how he stands out from the crowd and how they're just trying to suck him in, gnaw holes through his flawless soul. make him conform. drown in their oblivion. he gets angry, yadi-yadi-yada and you have a pretty awesome song...
    the totallymortal-totalimmortal thing is pretty cool but personally i think for the most part its the music that makes this song rock so beautifully...not the meaning behind it...

    General Comment:Dexter's voice is a lot more enjoyabe between the cover and the original. This song is really in the Offspring/AFI spirte, in that it has a lot of "woh's" and "oh's"

    General Comment:The Offspring fucked this song up. Noodles didn't get the vocals right at all. They should stick to their own shit. Which, by the way, is pretty cool.
