I have two theories on this song. The first is, Davey is in love with woman who is not in love with him and he knows it but he doesn't care. He figures she's better off without him and kills himself. His love remains, while his body is lifeless.

Or this song is about jesus.
"every night"-"genocide" - mankind will destroy itself with sin

"all my friends and I toast health and suicide" - the last supper.

"were you holding hands when my palms/wrists bled" - crucifixion

All I can figure is that it's about self-destruction.

Why do you keep referring AFI's songs to jesus, what is wrong with you people?

I think Davey does talk about religion and Jesus a lot I think it has been a big part of his life trying to figure out if it is all real or just a hoax

I always thought this was about a person who is in a relationship in which the other person is in love with them.

But this person is incapable to love "lover I am loveless". And this person feels pain "were we holding hands when my palms/wrists bled" their lover thought everything was okay and they were all close but this persons bleeding. Then this person says "oh I will be alright just use me" go ahead and pretend we're in love use me to get that warm fuzzy feeling I'll be alright even though you're playin with me.

This person cares more about their lover then they have for anyone but knows that there is no love to give. They will always be cold and lonely "lover I am lonely" so they warn that the future is brtght without them and if their lover stays the future will be full of pain and misery.

And reaches the conclusion that since love is pain you should "stay sweetly numb, remain lifeless love"

Davey Havok was raised a Catholic so it wouldn't be that big of a surprise to see a religious theme in some of AFI's music. Look at Love like Winter, "I met my love before I was born... He wanted blood... He drank my war..." Or Silver and Cold "Your sins into me... I fall asleep for you..." Its possible. Then again, maybe we're supposed to wonder. Somebody should ask them. I'm happy not knowing. If you're a Christian its cool, if you're not its still cool.

I was trying to figure out what this song meant,i still don't know, but I think that in miss murder he is talking about god.

"What's the hook, the twist within this verbose mystery?
I would gladly bet my life upon it
that the ghost you love, your ray of light will fizzle out
Without hope, hope. We're the empty set just floating through wrapped, in skin,
Ever searching for what we were promised
Reaching for that golden ring we'd never let go...
who would ever let us put our filthy hands upon it?"

call me crazy but that's what I think.

OK, something to make clear, I WAS RAISED CATHOLIC and I don't fucking sing about jesus. Neither does Havock, not even near, his lyrics are pretty fucking close to pagan ones, and he shows pagan honor in "Malleus Maleficarum" .

I mean, Davey has a fucking twisted inside out mind, everything BUT jesus.

And yeah, this lyric is about a guy whose lover cannot love him, and he feels the pain for it, but still loves him. He knows his "lover" does not truly love him but rather use him, and he doesn't care. "Oh I will be alright just use me."

Okay, child of god. You are sick. First of all, if you don't like the music, why are you on here? Keep you're pathetic comments to yourself, and why can't anybody spell Davey's last name right? It's Havok, not Havock!

tempest July 23rd, 2008 10:32PM  
Um.... If you know anything about Davey Havok then you know that he is straight edged and Christian. This song could very well be about Jesus. How do you know it's not? Are you Davey Havok? No, you are not, so stop denying other peoples interpretations.

anonymous September 24th, 2008 03:31PM  
Leave each other alone! The first anonymous have used the F-word less, and the anonymous who posted before tempest was a tad contemptuous. I don't believe that his songs are about Jesus either, I think that this one is about being a monster falling in love for the first time.

In this song there are two lines that I would like to interpret here. (Were you holding hands when my palms bled?)-In this I think he is reffering to a girl that he loves being with another guy. To him its extremely painful. I believe he's saying that when his palm started bleeding...was that when she was holding hnds with the other guy? (Were you holding hands when my wrists bled?)-In this I believe he's talking about self mutilation. Because the girl doesn't love and doest want to be with him, he started cutting open his wrists to ease the pain inside. While he was doing he this he was proably thinking, 'Are you holding his hand right now?'

He loves someone and the other person doesn't love him back, so he's going through his own pain,

AND WTF IS WITH EVERYONE SAYING AFI'S SONGS ARE ABOUT JESUS!

are you all christian or something sh*t sake guys

You are all wrong. sorry. The whole cd is about two people finding love during winter, and it's the only place they can be together. the only relegion in her is love, beauty, an inperfectness. that is the secret meaning to all of AFI's music Elegance and beauty.
