AFI are one of the most underrated bands. Never heard of them until a few years ago talking to an American girl online.
The combination of emo lyrics to upbeat tunes is so great in this. I relate to both haha and it's darkly comical. This chick and I called this "Rabbits Are LOL on Route 37". The lyrics themselves mix clichés and poetry.
Desperation, devastation
All I truly know
Is isolation
Self damnation
All life that I'd own
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 CREATED THE SUFFERING!?
SHOW ME!
Or do you happily cut, further in?
To sever what's left inside, that binds me
