AFI - Rabbits Are Roadkill On Rt. 37 Lyrics






What once did exist, now is meaningless
And doesn't it seem funny, how soon you did forget
([ECHO:] how soon you did forget)
All the words have now lost their weight
But I remember, I remember

Desperation, devastation
All I truly know (all that I know...)
Is isolation
Self damnation
All life that I'd own
WAS SHED AND WORTHLESS NOW!

What I knew was wrong
One who lived is gone
Guess it was just an echo
When you would sing my song
(ECHO: you would sing my song)
All the notes you'd forgotten now
You left abandoned, I remember

Desperation, devastation
All I truly know (all that I 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.

Now all i feel is

Desperation, devastation
All I truly know (all that I know...)
Is isolation
Self damnation
All life that I'd own
WAS SHED AND WORTHLESS NOW!

Desperation, devastation
All I truly know (all that I know...)
Is isolation
Self damnation
All life that I'd own
WAS SHED AND WORTHLESS, WORTHLESS NOW!

  1. T.... S....

    Flatout 2 still holds my best childhood memories.

  2. Y.... ....

    I used to fall asleep in class to this song in high school.

  3. j.... ....

    How did this song not make it in the album? If it had this would probably be my favorite on the record.

  4. A.... [....

    really sounds like U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday

  5. N.... ....

    One of their GREATEST songs ever made!!!! And this is coming from an old school 90's AFI fan

  6. J.... C....

    How many brain labotomys have you had Jimmy moron.

  7. J.... C....

    This song wasn't on the cd

  8. H.... ....

    Is this low key their best song?

  9. a.... ....

    This was my first CD when I just turned 13.... the first album I really listened to on my own

  10. M.... 6....

    *FLATOUT 2*

  11. x.... ....

    God I still love this song so much. 🖤

  12. W.... ....

    Why can’t I find this on Apple Music. I know I had it on an OLLLLLLD iTunes account

    W.... ....

    Neopolitan 2D it’s there trust me you just have to really look for it. I think it’s under the my space album

  13. Y.... P....

    2069 anyone?

    But I remember, I remember
    Desperation, devastation
    All I truly know
    Is isolation, self damnation
    All light that I'd own was shed and worthless now
    What I knew was wrong, one who lived is gone
    Guess it was just an echo when you would sing my song
    All the notes you'd forgotten now
    You left abandoned, I remember
    Desperation, devastation
    All I truly know
    Is isolation, self damnation
    All light 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
    Now all I feel is desperation, devastation
    All I truly know
    Is isolation, self damnation
    All light that I'd own was shed and worthless now
    Desperation, devastation
    All I truly know
    Is isolation, self damnation
    All light that I'd own was shed and worthless, worthless now

  15. G.... G....

    I still fuckin love this song. II.

  16. f.... ....

    Why this song in flatout 2 song list?

    f.... ....

    Xbox version had it

  17. L.... H....

    some people in 2019?

  18. D.... M....

    December underground is definitely their best album. They shoulda stuck with this sound. The albums before were good but not as good. The albums after weren't too great. Though there is a handful of good ones.

  19. J.... R....

    If only I could find somebody with this mp3 along w/ "Reiver's Music", "Now the World", "Hearts Frozen Solid...", their cover of "Just Like Heaven" and their cover of "Head Like A Hole" I would gladly PayPal him/her :)

  29. B.... P....

    Why does it say this and head like a hole is on the album its so not.

    B.... P....

    Brad Princebodkin it is. I've got the UK edition.

  30. R.... P....

    That face you make when people can't appreciate the entire AFI catalog. :/

  31. E.... B....

    This should've been in the movie Hop.

  32. C.... R....

    J.... T....

    Jimmy Taylor faktycznie podobne

    J.... T....

    Noooooo

    J.... T....

    You're onto something - like a speedier version of it

    Others say its "Take on Me" by A-Ha - and I hear that too

  34. M.... A....

    obviously inspired by "take on me" by A-ha!

  35. G.... H....

    I have a special heart for this song. lol jade halverson is a beast I bet he gets laid more than Davey

    G.... H....

    +My Phanical Bromance seconded

  38. E.... T....

    How can you actually get this song? I need it

    E.... T....

    +Emma Taylor

    1-copy the song link

    2- type google then look for clipconverter.cc

    3- select 320kbps.

    4- enjoy

    E.... T....

    there´s no point on selecting 320kbps since youtube videos are renderized to a standard 180 in all audios. I'd rather recomend using torrent to download the deluxe version of this album

    E.... T....

    I got mine from MySpace back in the day 😂

  39. A.... N....

    Why isn't this song on Spotify?..

    A.... N....

    +Amanda Broadhurst This song is actually on Spotify. It's on some Myspace playlist / album.

    A.... N....

    Elodie Artour I'm still looking 😩

    A.... N....

    Its not on that one :(

    A.... N....

    This song is disgusting

    A.... N....

    @Elodie Artour we

  40. D.... ....

    amount of views is criminal

  41. G.... J....

    The intro sounds like Take On Me.

    G.... J....

    I think of sunday bloody sunday

    G.... J....

    Antón Ojeda - I thought i was the only one. It even uses the same chords.

    G.... J....

    what is music if not inspired? :)

    G.... J....

    The drumbeat, to me, sounds like Dancing With Myself.

  42. T.... L....

    Where do I have to go to buy this song? It doesn't show up on iTunes when I look up the decemberunderground album.

    T.... L....

    Can I order it online or possibly find it at Hastings? The entire album, I mean. Just so I can get the song.

    T.... L....

    Well the UK and I think Australian editions of Decemberunderground have this song and a cover, but the US doesn't. I suggest you buy it over seas

    Sorry I'm terrible at advise

    T.... L....

    That's okay. Thanks.

    T.... L....

    +TheDiva LovesGlitterandGlam it on the dulux, b side

  43. F.... ....

    F.... ....

    been a fan since the 90s and this is one of my favs, screw the haters....

    @marty uribe okay. You may be onto something. I am not sure it's the devil, but it could be equally nefarious, or maybe a certain group with agendas... I can't say. Something obviously happened and I have also had the near death experience(s). It changed me. You experienced the Source. You lived. It's good to have you amongst the living! Why you are alive, I cannot say, except there is a reason.
    I study occultism and am nowhere near new. I try to be myself, but leave the world better than I found it. Life, Liberty, & Pursuit of Hapiness- whatever those terms mean to each person.
    I do miss me a good punk rock show! Saw the first 4 Warped Tours. Got kicked in the head by a crowd surfer while trying to keep my pants on! Fucking belts...
    It was so informal the first year. Autographs and chats with all sorts of band members. It was always a great show, but it just got bigger. Saw Pennywise, NOFX, & basically all the big punk bands of those years. I don't recall everything, cuz of that damn kick!
    Trust your instincts, they are often correct at least in guiding you away from the really dark shit.

    @Karen Freeman Ya I hear ya crazy things out there, I had three different occasions with the other realms and it was evil. My near death was very eye opening and that place of torment I went to I don't wish that on my worst enemy. Demons all around trying to take my soul. I just kept praying to get out and they fled in Jesus name. I am not religious by any means and grew up in a church for 30 years getting verbally abused and once physically. So, that turned me against church and religion. But I am very spiritual after that experience. Your right be a good person to others and make the most out of your time here to be remembered by the things you do.

    All the concerts I went to my favorite were the old bad religion concerts and afi. But also the worst concert I went to was 2009 afi, they played all DU and STS which I like STS but I am old afi black sails all hallows art of drowning and much older. It was bad, I almost left, dude I have to say the concert was in long beach convention center and they even filmed it, you can find it on youtube. The crowd was like teenage emo trying to scream like davey and squeak. I had to leave the seat I was in because all I would hear are these idiots with by the way the worst voices ever scream and squeak. To this day that was by far the worst show and I will not go see afi again ever after that! But like you said we still have old afi vinyl and cds.

    @marty uribe your pic... is that a reference to the past? Looks like military. I support our military. Yeah, we got friends all across the cosmos! I want this world full of life, liberty, & pursuit of happiness- if not achievable, I would prefer we burn it (our collective enemies) to the ground. Burning cities and Napalm skies if necessary. I have my reasons. Anyway-
    This country wasn't meant to be a corporation. The original plan is still held and desired by myself & those that are tired of the worldly bullshit.
    Some music is full of double meanings. I am sure your already know. There are secrets to be found...
    Our current Potus made a slight error in judgement when he listened for a few moments to the TAPS act proposal. Funny how he couldn't (then) see that non-billionaires have need of right to self protection! Any billionaire can afford personal protection via self or hired security agencies. Easy to forget how and why we got this screwy land- Guns! Plus a little help from places like France. They aided the initial win over that Monarch that now lacks guns and has problems dealing with Brexit. So, Vets, patriots, and military mentioned their lack of both vote and support should our 2nd amendment rights be further violated. Suddenly, he got the msg (from who I do not know) & publicly stated that he wouldn't screw with such rights! They want us to fight- some really want war, but ppl are onto the underlying reasons for many wars. Now they keep using False Flag attacks! Blaming AR-15s and cannot even state, or maybe they don't know AR doesn't even stand for Assault Rifle!! The ignorance and disinfo perpetrated especially by MSM is disingenous and unforgivable. CNN will soon fall. Commie News Network some say.
    You lived through NDEs. You saw the alternative to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. You saw the dark side. You are alive. You chose life, or you were deemed necessary for the cause. I am glad that you saw what you likely needed to see & rose above it.
    Brian
    Remember as I do- I am a damned sinner & have one chance for redemption. I am taking my chances :) Jesus saves!!! Living blood of ressurection & redemption 🙂

    b.... w....

    @Karen Freeman Ya, its when I was in the military. I love my country but I never voted me and politics never got along. So, I won't support liers. Anyways, wish you well.

    b.... w....

    @marty uribe yeah, politics suck. Lately I have got family and msm pushing it at me... ridiculous!

    Sick breakdown

  47. e.... s....

    love you guys for long time xo

  48. T.... ....

    i got that cd from the vans warped tour on 06

  49. A.... D....

    well there used to be these things called record stores...

    A.... D....

    Ab37(5j)

  50. T.... R....

    i havent heard this song in so long

  51. B.... A....

    anyone have ANY idea where to purchase this at??!?

  52. T.... ....

    I heard it was written during Sing the Sorrow, but not recorded until Decemberunderground. If it was recorded during StS, that version never got released (as far as I know).

    T.... ....

    It was an unofficial release on the Myspace music compilation.

  53. A.... G....

    people used to tell me I was 'stupid and impressionable' for liking this band many moons ago, 7 years later they still hold up. awesome.

  54. D.... S....

    childhood

  55. f.... ....

    YES AND ON EVERY ROAD

  56. L.... ....

    Actually, ' This Time Imperfect is hidden at the end of the 15 min version of "...But Home is Nowhere", which is only available to those who buy the whole album. Also, the 2 songs (Home and Imperfect) are separated by long stretches of silence and odd reading of a story. Can someone explain this to me please?

  57. G.... ....

    It's probably a "hidden track" like 'This Time Imperfect'

  58. M.... O....

    crash love had torch song, end transmission, and it was mine as good tracks

  59. M.... O....

    @nicktaxidermy no but torch song and endlessly are keepers

  60. a.... ....

    7 people are rabbit lovers..

  61. N.... B....

    LOVE THIS FUCKING SONG

  62. D.... M....

    it was a exclusive myspace record

  63. l.... ....

    hell yes!

  64. R.... ....

    Stop the nation! Theay are roadkilling rabbits!

  65. n.... ....

    Crashlove destroys decemberunderground.

  66. A.... J....

    i abolutely love afi<3

  67. x.... ....

    This album and this band came into my life when I most needed them. At that time, Decemberunderground was my only state of mind. No one else could better put into words all the awful things I was feeling. AFI did it for me and that helped me realise that I am not alone. Thank you so much, AFI.

  68. T.... ....

    This is one of my favourites =)

  69. D.... S....

    crash love is a terrible album at best.this cd D.U just passes the test.

  70. D.... S....

    its the only true afi song on the friggin album silly pants

  71. r.... ....

    cuanto mas tiempo tienen estas canciones para mi mas valor tienen... son como partes de adolescencia que se medio durmieron y estas canciones me hacen volver a akellos tiempos... sobretodo esta, es de las k mas me gustan de AFI :D

  72. e.... ....

    I assure you Davey cant possibly hate himself more than me, but thanks for the line and this amazing song. Chorus should be on my gravestone.

  73. D.... B....

    afi rocks. id be like no fuck you

  74. K.... P....

    straight up

  75. D.... B....

    amma por q no encuentro esta cancion en ares?

  76. C.... P....

    @racs8 your right, it was recorded a while before DU. Seems a lot of their best songs are unreleased, or rare.

  77. R.... C....

    @capsfanintahoe Well maybe im not from that country but ok sorry i didnt know but that song was created way before this album came out, i know cuz i heard it in the radio dats why i didnt know. N it bothers me cuz they sound nothing like this on that album. They changed their style completely

  78. C.... P....

    @racs8 Do your homework, it was released on this album, just not in this country.

  79. R.... C....

    I dont know why it bothers me that he used the picture of the album DecemberUnderground when this song is not even on that album. They actually didnt even sound like this on that album

  80. A.... H....

    I've always expected them to dig deeper into their post punk influences-The Cure, Depeche Mode,etc. This was inevitable, and it fits.

  81. S.... D....

    @LongviewGD182 Um that was made f'king like 20 years ago.
    AFI has tons of songs about girls!
    The Last Kiss, Who Said You Could Touch me, A Winter's Tale.
    I'm sorta adding to your point by disagreeing with you.
    Wow how often does that happen?

  82. S.... ....

    @ZipKingOfTheOzone exactly! This song brings me such great memories of a crush I had in high school. :)

  83. G.... ....

    @513986916 Came from the U.K. import C.D
    It's a bonus track, but it isn't exclusive to iTunes.

  84. J.... M....

    I didn't get this on my Itunes download of DECEMBERUNDERGROUND...

  85. t.... ....

    @SpecialNeeds5 concordo

  86. S.... ....

    Everytime, I fall in love with their "change of style". Finally I suppose that I'm just in love with AFI.

    Meravigliosi.

  87. d.... ....

    @peudoiseaurouge no they are really actually gay except for one of them i think

  88. T.... I....

    @jelmdemoterhelm Listen to On the Arrow, Self Pity, Endlessly She Said.

    Those songs are clearly about girls.

    "The girl I loved has gone away, theres no chance that she would stay" - Self Pity

  89. N.... V....

    @dillonsetsfire UK Version of Decemberunderground. Thats where you can find Rabbits Are Roadkll on Rt. 37

  90. E.... J....
