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?
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?

"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.
I never thought of the lyrics really, but the selling out theory makes perfect sense! Too bad the people, who call them sell outs probably either haven't heard this or haven't payed attention to the lyrics.
Have I've created the suffering?
Show life"
It's meant to be "Show me" not "show life"
And this song and 37mm MUST have something to do with the AFI mystery. But we will only find out when the recording for the new album startsss.
BA have almost finished their tour so it hopefully won't be too far away.
All the words have now lost their weight
But I remember, I remember" saying that his older fans turned their backs on him and now hate him for changing and playing different music and for "selling-out". then he says: "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"
saying that old fans try to hurt him emotionally. then it goes: "I can hate myself more, more than anyone." saying that he hates himself for causing his old fans to think that afi has sold-out.
now all he knows is isolation and self-damnation because he hates himself so much.
and fertility, but the band say they chose the rabbits as the sybol for doom
as shown in the miss murder video. davey's gets the note with the rabbits and that means he's gonna die
the album is not only winter, but doom themed
and as they said rabbits are the doom
they use 37 alot, because not oy is it a divine number but it's also a number for death [dunno why]
also route 37 in california, blood alley
its about fighting back against what you've been told
but also being abandoned
possibly also saying that death and misery isn't always certain, you can change it, stop some of it.
