I remember when I was told the story of crushed velvet, candle wax, and dried up flowers.
The figure on the bed all dressed up in roses, calling, beckoning to sleep, offering a dream.
The words were as mystical as purring animals.
The cricle of rage, the ghost on the stage appeared.
Time was so tangible I'll never let it go.
Ghost stories handed down reach secret tunnels below.
No one could can see me
Whoooooaaa
I fell into yesterday
whooooooaaa
Our Dreams seemed not far away
I want to, I want to, I want to stay
Whoooooaaa
I fell into fantasy
The girl on the wall always waited for me
She was always smiling
The teenage death boys
The teenage death girls
And everyone was dancing
Nothing could touch us then
No one could change us then
Everyone was dancing
Nothing could hurt us then
No one could see us then
Everyone was dancing
Everyone was dancing
Our dreams seemed not far away
Our dreams seemed not far away
Our dreams seemed not far away
I fell into fantasy
The figure on the bed all dressed up in roses, calling, beckoning to sleep, offering a dream.
The words were as mystical as purring animals.
The cricle of rage, the ghost on the stage appeared.
Time was so tangible I'll never let it go.
Ghost stories handed down reach secret tunnels below.
No one could can see me
Whoooooaaa
I fell into yesterday
whooooooaaa
Our Dreams seemed not far away
I want to, I want to, I want to stay
Whoooooaaa
I fell into fantasy
The girl on the wall always waited for me
She was always smiling
The teenage death boys
The teenage death girls
And everyone was dancing
Nothing could touch us then
No one could change us then
Everyone was dancing
Nothing could hurt us then
No one could see us then
Everyone was dancing
Everyone was dancing
Our dreams seemed not far away
Our dreams seemed not far away
Our dreams seemed not far away
I fell into fantasy

i think it's a pass time in his actual life.
that sounds confusing
but what i mean is like its a past time when he was a teen..hes seeing back to where he was and who he was and what he was afraid of. i don't agree with the old band thing. some of their songs are about fame but there are much deeper meanings built into that definitely.
X Bye the way.. a phoenix is a bird in Egyptian mythology that that lived in the desert for like forever years and then consumed itself in fire, Incinerating itself into ashes to later rise reborn. X
-that was writting by ka11itkarma
and that actually is significant to the song.
i agree with them on many points.
they said she he was a teenager going to a funeral and realizing how it was impossible to avoid death. when he was a teen he didn't realize death..he saw life as going on forever..he could dance and nothing could touch him, not death, not pain, just dancing and parties. now look back at the phoenix definition. [lived in the desert forever, incinerated, and reborn] and they've actually used the word incinerate in songs. incinerate...turning your self into? morphing. so he'd be morphing himself into something. it says that the pheonix "consumed itself in fire", so that tells me the death wasn't accidental.
"Nothing could touch us then
No one could change us then"
And about not wanting to let go "Time was so tangible i'll never let it go, i fell into yesterday"
just my take on it...
oh ... did i mention that this is amazing song?
Thats my take on it, anyway
This was the first AFI song i heard and it blew me away. You really can't get sick of this song ever, no matter how many times you hear it. And Davey has the most amazing voice ever. I love his screams and I love his whispers.
Omfg i used to like this song until i read the lyrics. AFI are emo poo eaters who need to die. Good song, bad bad bad bad lyrics
Umm, first of all, AFI is not emo, nor are they poo eaters. Grow up and get better insults. Second, AFI do not need to die, thye are one of the best bands ever, past and present. Stop being a hater, and learn to appreciate Davey's poetic lyrics, look into the song, not just the superficial lyrics.
Lyric Analysis.
The Circle Of Rage: The Mosh Pit
The Ghost On The Stage : The Singer of the band. Someone you can see but can't touch.
Ghost Stories handed down, reached secret tunnels below: Phoenix Theatre is said to be haunted and that there are secret tunnels under the club.
No one can see me: Because it is such a part of the music he blends in, doens't stick out.
our dreams seemed not far away, I want to stay: Them realizing they don't wat to break up. They want to stay together.
I fell into fantasy: Davey has said before all his life he wanted was to be in a band, his fantasy is now reality.
The girl on the wall always waited for me, she was always smiling: in the theatre, there is a girl painted on the wall that is smiling. It can be seen from the stage.
Teengae death boys, teenage death girls: The kids at the shows
Everyone was dancing, no one could touch us then: Everyone moshing and having a good time at the show. nothing else in the world mattered at that moment.
