Quotes:
As you get older you will gain a bit more control over everything. Don't let anyone, even your parents, break you. Find good people who care about you and surround yourself with just them. If you can't find them at first, find good music and fall into it and let it hold you until they come... Davey Havok Submitted by: Raven
| Interviewer: If you were stranded on a desert island, what one album would you want with you? Jade: I'd build a lifeboat out of sand. Davey: [looking confused] What?! Submitted by: Bethany

Band Name Origins:
- In high school before they even knew how to use their instruments, they came up with the name "ants farming indonesia" since they never thought they'd make it big. I read it in Smash Magazine back in '95. Submitted by: Myst
- The band comprised of Davey, Jade, Adam, and Hunter has always stood for "A Fire Inside". Previously, it was known as Anthems For Insubordinates, and NOT (despite popular belief) Asking For It. The reason fans were told to write to Asking For It was because they wrote in to ask for free merchendise and information about the band. Submitted by: Nixx

Misheard Lyrics: Swim in the dark tonight
This sinking ground (What follows) me to the darkest place and I will (Will swallow whole) just has to be imbued (What follows) has led me to this place Where I appear along with all the rest What follows I'm innocent tonight My corazon I thank God's grace tonight Could it be found? Original Lyrics: Swim in the calm tonight
This art does drown (What follows) me as the whitest lace of light (Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued? (What follows) has led me to this place Where I belong, with all erased What follows All insects sing tonight The coldest sound I'd send God's grace tonight Could it be found? |

Story about this misheard lyric by: Radha Singh The first couple times I heard this song being played the first part sounded like Davey singing, "My dinner is cooked, angel". I knew that couldn't be right when I read Davey's lips during the music vid so looked up the actual lyrics. Wow was I way off. Sometimes I feel Davey purposely doesn't enunciate to make his songs even more mysterious...hehe |

Funniest Song Lyrics:
"Key Lime Pie"
The Funny Lyrics: Key lime pie, infatuation that shouldn't exist, key lime pie, indulge and I am in your debt. key lime pie, inspire me with foolish love, key lime pie, your green filling makes me inept. flaky crust is what I lust, your fresh lime scent is a must. take me with coffee, never with tea, you're the pie that pleases me. people gawk, "is that pie green?" ask for a bite, "f you, I'm mean." key lime pie, cheapest hooker I've ever had, key lime pie, last slice gleaming, if you're out I'm mad. key lime pie, poke fun and laugh and jest, key lime pie, don't bother me digest, key lime pie.
Why They're Funny: Obviously, he's in love with an inanimate object.

| "Love Like Winter"

Insincere Song Lyrics:
"This Time Imperfect"
The Insincere Lyrics: I'd show a smile
but I'm too weak I'd share with you Could I only speak Why They're Insincere: It takes more muscles to smile than to frown, Davey. And if you're already singing, why can't you just sing your pain to the girl already? I know he's trying to be tragic and convey a dying soul, but really!

Song Lyrics That Mention Brand Name Products:
"Cereal Wars"
The Lyrics: Get up early in the morning,
going to the store. Post, Kellogs, General Mills? It's the cereal war. Fuckin' store never has the monsters and they never get more. Post, Kellogs, General Mills? It's the cereal war. I hope sexual chocolate is in stock, it's got a condom in the box. I'll try some cocoa puffs today. What the fuck is Sonny anyway? Some say Dino's are the best, they've got more marshmallows than the rest. There's not a lot of cocoa in cocoa crispies, and always stay away from wheaties. Now it's dinner time and I'm going back to the store. I had some Erkles, 'liked 'em a lot. It's the cereal war. I wish I were Calvin or Hobbes and then I could try sugar bombs. The soggies will never get Cap'n Crunch, I guess I'll have Crunch Berries for lunch. Breakfast cereals need to be sweet, that's the only kind I'll eat. Give me sugar not nuts and twigs! Do I look like a fuckin' squirrel to you? Product Brand Name: Post, Kellogs, General Mills Monsters Cocoa Puffs Wheaties Dinos Erkles

"Prelude 12/21" Length: 1:36
It has lyrics and everything, & it's the only song by AFI I have... even though called prelude, it has a chorus and verses and is a song in its own right.

Foreign Language in English Songs:
"The Leaving Song, Pt. 2"
The Lyrics: He estado aqui Muchas veces antes Y regreso...
Why: This is Spanish for: "I've been here many times before and I return..."
Submitted by: Cabeza de Chorlito
| "Love Like Winter"
The Lyrics: Read the lines in the mirror through the lipstick tray
"Por siempre" Why: Por siempre means 'forever' in Spanish. AFI has a few other songs in which random Spanish is thrown about, the other one coming to my mind being "The Leaving Song Part II".
