AFI - Days Of The Phoenix Lyrics






I remember when I was told of 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

words were as mystical as purring animals
The circle of rage
The ghosts on the stage appeared
The time was so tangible, I'll never let it go
Ghost stories handed down, reached secret tunnels below
No one could see me

I fell into yesterday
Our dreams seemed not far away
I want to, I want to, I want to stay
I fell into fantasy

The words were as mystical as purring animals
The circle of rage
The ghosts on the stage appeared
The time was so tangible, I'll never let it go
Ghost stories handed down, reached secret tunnels below
No one could see me

I fell into yesterday.
Our dreams seemed not far away
I want to, I want to, I want to stay.
I fell into fantasy

The girl on the wall always waited for me,
And 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

No one could see me

I fell into yesterday
Our dreams seemed not far away
I want to, I want to, I want to stay
I fell into fantasy

Our dreams seemed not far away
Our dreams seemed not far away
Our dreams seemed not far away

I fell into fantasy

    I remember when I was told of story of crushed velvet,
    candle wax, and dried up flowers
    The figure on the bed all dressed up in roses, calling

    The circle of rage
    The ghosts on the stage appeared
    The time was so tangible, I'll never let it go

    Our dreams seemed not far away 

    I fell into fantasy

    He reminds me of edward scissor hands...i used to hear this all the time but started reminesen recently and some good memories with this music

    p.... s....

    Reminiscing is the word you're looking for.

  19. A.... E....

    Well... I certainly just fell into yesterday.

  20. D.... G....

    I think this video was shot in 2001 - crazy, no? Holds up so well.

    D.... G....

    @Melan Colín 1997?? No way. Pretty sure it was 2000-2001

    D.... G....

    James srry the song is from 1997 the video idk

    D.... G....

    @Melan Colín It's not from 1997 it came out in like 2000.

  21. J.... A....

    Back then when MUSIC was MUSIC.

    J.... A....

    Some kid will listen to music released today then 10-20 years later will post on the video how "back then music was music!"

    J.... A....

    GADBabaganoosh I completely agree. It‘s so tiring to hear people proclaim that music is no longer music. I am sure people scoffed at Mozart and the Beatles as not being real music when they first came out. I can surely attest to the fact that my parents did not approve of AFI when I was a kid listening to their records.

  22. J.... M....

    Back when music was decently made and had good tempo

  23. S.... M....

    THE PHOENIX THEATER! PETALUMA, CA.

  24. J.... S....

    J.... S....

  25. C.... P....

    I would call this transformative. I didn't know of an asthetic for angst until I saw this on MTV when I was 13. Every time I bury my skull in the past, I drum up this gem. "I want to stay"

  26. G.... A....
