AFI - ...But Home Is Nowhere Lyrics






Twenty-six years and seems like I've just begun
To understand my, my intimate is no one
When the director sold the show, who bought its last rites?
They cut the cast, the music, and the lights

This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone

Twenty-six years end, still speaking in these tongues
Such revelations while understood by no one
When the new actor stole the show, who questioned his grace?
Please clear the house of ill-aquired taste

This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone

Give me something, give me something
Give me something, give me something
Give me something, give me something real

I lay strewn across the floor, can't solve this puzzle
Everyday another small piece can't be found
I lay strewn across the floor, pieced up in sorrow
The pieces are lost, these pieces don't fit
Pieced together incomplete and empty

This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone

This is my line, this is eternal
How did I end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone

  10. m.... j....

    69 a
    Good song

  11. a.... ....

    THIS is fucking pure emotional poetry right here. Listening all these years later compared to current music, this stands out like art in the truest sense

  12. L.... 7....

    Ghost track🖤

  13. C.... ....

    Theres something about this album, how it retains their previous energy, but mixes in a little bit of slower, more intense moments. Plus the production quality is outstanding. IMO this is their magnum opus.

    C.... ....

    Agreed 100%

  14. D.... M....

    It’s crazy how old 26 seemed when I heard this song in high school.

  15. D.... W....

    I always thought Jade was hott...

  16. h.... p....

    I have been singing it wrong for 10 years. I always thought he said this is my Life this is eternal.

    h.... p....

    hassan palomo afi sometimes ya gotta improvise words

  17. H.... ....

    Oh my god, these lyrics are amazing. I never really understood them until now.

    H.... ....

    Hierophant Man, I’m feeling them right now too. It’s hard to find authenticity in this world these days.

  18. H.... K....

    How did I ever end up here????

  19. K.... B....

    “ this is my life, this is a turtle “

  20. J.... N....

    2:07 best part

  21. P.... D....

    Turtles for me it’s my life

  22. S.... C....

    People always use the "the band matured/grew up" excuse when a band sells out or just doesn't have the same fire later in their career. This album is a rare example of that actually being true. AFI went from being a really good band to producing one of the best albums of the century so far.

  23. l.... ....

    I love this song so so much.
    Even if it does sound like he's singing about turtles.

  24. M.... M....

    So he was just 26 when this song came out?? I feel so old, I'm 26 right now and I was like 10 or so when this song came out! Wow!

  25. N.... H....

    Hey everybody! I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt and my butt smells and I like to kiss my own butt

  26. t.... ....

    I'm shitting. My emo 14 yr old self loved this album and I still remember the lyrics. I Cannot Believe

  27. V.... S....

    I'll be 26 this year and it seems like I've just begun

  28. R.... H....

    YOU GUYS ARE FUCKING HILARIOUS. THIS IS MY LIME THIS IS MY TURTLE, GOODNESS NOCHES I WANT NACHOS!!! HAHAHAHA!!!/DAVEY WPULD BE PROUD LMFAO!!

  29. D.... M....

    This my lion 🦁 this is my turtle 🐢

    D.... M....

    It's Lime, not Lion but lol ;-))

    D.... M....

    Dwayne Miller walk over it ?

  30. L.... X....

    how could 26 people dislike this song get out of here with the nonsense

    L.... X....

    Mad about dead turtles

  31. _.... ....

    this song is so middle school for me. I still love it though

    _.... ....

    SicEvilMonkey1 whats your point? If you find gold when you are young then it's not gold?

    _.... ....

    High school for me well 9th grade which was freshman

    _.... ....

    You're just one of those "it's a phase" people. These are grown men and this is part of their soul they put out when venting about real feelings, which is true of any artist/artists worth listening to. If it doesn't reach into your soul and is just "middle school memories" for you then you don't truly appreciate them. if you really love an artist you are a lifelong fan of their work and want to buy every album. I'm in highschool in 8th grade right now, found them too depressing when I was little but now i love them and always will

  32. E.... N....

    this one perfect album

  33. L.... H....

    0:47 This is my life, this is a turtle. lmao XD

    L.... H....

    Luca HAMBLETON lol

  34. B.... M....

    "I lay strewn across the floor, can't solve this puzzle, everyday another small piece can't be found. I lay strewn across the floor. Pieced up in sorrow, the pieces are lost, these pieces don't fit. Pieced together incomplete and empty...." How I feel after my Dad died.

  35. N.... P....

    "This is my life, this is a turtle."

    N.... P....

    Nick Penny I can never listen to this song the same haha. Turtle can now never be unheard lol.

    N.... P....

    You're right. I've been following her every day since july 14th but it never crossed my mind to have a conversation with her when she engaged with my comment.

    Just saying somethings stupid on the internet, and I don't even remember why.

    A.... R....

    Boys, boys, boys... I am very flattered, but very happily engaged! :) We just share the same taste in music! great taste that is haha. I hope you all have Happy Holidays. Take Care!

    the 14 that dislike this.. have no taste. and are either fans of bieber, swift, drake or nicki minaj.. they make this place not feel like home...

    W.... f....

    Alan Freeman 350k people have watched this video, and you're focusing on the 20 or so who disliked it? Don't be so negative

  43. �.... L....

  47. t.... ....

    You don't have to serve satan...

  48. B.... P....

    I listened to this a lot when I was a homeless kid. Really related back then even though the meaning is probably lost in his tongues and such that he was talking about.

    B.... P....

    +Juan Holguin That's Racist

    B.... P....

    +Billy Pop The beauty of music is that it is open for your own interpretation. If you found a meaning that meant something to you in the song then that's what matters and I'm sure AFI agrees with me.

    B.... P....

    @baverfjant
    To be honest I met AFI as a kid and they were all self-important douche bags. Treated me like shit.

  49. C.... H....

    Who else found out about this song from Travis Pastrana's Nitro Circus movie?

    K.... O....

    I have heard this song sang live bit I say them in like July 2003, and they played almost the entire album plus maybe 5 other songs...it was life. :)

    K.... O....

    @***** it was at warped tour in Minneapolis MN, they also did a cover of a an 80s song...dang it I can't remember the song they covered.

  65. b.... ....

    For me, AFI is always good music . But I cant understand why Sing the Sorrow is significantly better than all their other stuff.

    In all objectivity, it's the best record that has ever been in our universe!

  95. K.... E....

    To this nature, so unnatural...
    This song... well, this album... actually, this band is unbelievable man!
    So fucking awesome.
