AFI - The Boy Who Destroyed The World Lyrics






Once there was boy who had vibrant glow, but as it goes, someone took it from him.
One day through the rain I heard him meekly moan, he said
"Will you wrap your arms around me as I'm falling?"
Remember when Remember when Remember when we were all so beautiful? Never
Again Never Again But since then we've lost our glow.

They said it hurt their eyes but he would never know that they were filled with
regret as their own dissipated.
He said, "I now feel more desperately alone, even though they wrapped their
arms around me as I'd fallen."

Remember when Remember when Remember when we were all so beautiful? Never
Again Never Again But since then we've lost our glow.
Remember when Remember when Remember when we were all so beautiful? Never
Again Never Again But since then we've lost our glow.

They said it hurt their eyes, but he would never know that they were claiming
regret as their own...
their own dissipated.

    Lyrics:
    Once there was a boy who had a vibrant glow (oh, oh, oh, oh)
    But as it goes, someone took it from him
    One day through the rain I heard him meekly moan (oh, oh, oh, oh)
    He said: "Will you wrap your arms around me?

    As I'm falling
    (Remember when, remember when)
    Remember when we were all so beautiful?
    (Never again, never again)
    But since then we've lost our glow

    They said it hurt their eyes, but he would never know (oh, oh, oh, oh)
    That they were filled with regret as their own dissipated
    He said, I now feel more desperately alone (oh, oh, oh, oh)
    Even though they wrapped their arms around me

    As I'd fallen
    (Remember when, remember when)
    Remember when we were all so beautiful?
    (Never again, never again)
    But since then we've lost our glow
    (Remember when, remember when)
    Remember when we were all so beautiful?
    (Never again, never again)
    But since then we've lost our glow

    They said it hurt their eyes
    But he would never know

    That they were claiming regret
    (As their) As their own
    (As they) As they dissipated
    (As their) As their own
    (As they) As they dissipated

    J.... M....

    I never read the lyrics and never knew it had such a deep meaning... Means a lot how we're all born with enthusiasm, imagination and creativity then society conditions us with concepts and limitations

    J.... M....

    @Jose Linares Nailed it!

    J.... M....

    Sounds good Rocks!

  48. K.... ....

    This is so emo

    K.... ....

    Except it's not emo, emo is stuff like sunny day real estate, rites of spring, mineral, Texas is the reason, braid, and Christie front drive.
    But really who am I kidding, the label has been used and misused so many times it's lost all semblance of meaning.

  49. d.... l....

  64. J.... L....

    I remember junior high when punks would call AFI Gay-F-I and would say that they aren't real punk... lol... well punk is very diverse from pop punk to raw punk, grindcore, etc. whether they like it or not

    J.... L....

    Jose Linares can you blame them? AFI became sellouts after all

  65. r.... ....

    what the fuck happened to this band. remember when I was younger my cousin said "have you ever heard of afi?" told her "yeah I love them," to which she proceeded to play December underground. I felt like I was going to be sick.

    r.... ....

    nuvo Sad face. I knew of them from that album then got into punk and rediscovered this song from Tony Hawk and shit my pants that it was the same AFI that made Miss Murder, crazy

    r.... ....

    @Finna Fish I actually like both songs, crazily enough.

  66. P.... A....

    porra brother, essa eh relíquia do tony hawk 3 hahaha foda

    B.... C....

    Wooooh!!

    B.... C....

    Greatshit...I was in nida doing a drug research study and they had this game...I got pretty good at it whilst being a human guinea pig

    B.... C....

    Dont get me wrong I known about AFI since back in the day, but recently watched rodney mullen's skate video and it brought me back to this hahaha

  72. J.... B....

    too many purists and eletists only think of hardcore punk as punk

  73. P.... V....

    I knew this song playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 for Playstation 1! Great song!

    P.... V....

    and PlayStation 2

    P.... V....

    i play this game for months.....day for day....minute for minute.......15 years ago.....and i still love this soundtrack...

  74. F.... ....

    I played THPS3 for so long as a kid, and I never knew that this song was by AFI.

    F.... ....

    cant blame you, they went Alt when they went mainstream.

    F.... ....

    Never knew it was AFI either lol. I remember people in High School would bag on this band so much.

    F.... ....

    Sounds like every other afi song...well the beginning of their career anyways.

    F.... ....

    Nah this doesn't sound much like their first 2 or 3 albums. This is when they started getting kind of wonky and "artistic".

    F.... ....

    AFI have consistently done whatever they wanted and it's punk as fuck.

  75. T.... P....

    thps3

  76. T.... ....

    can anyone give me some good skateboarding music like this. id greatly appreciate it 

    T.... ....

    look up "blue flowers" by Dr. Octagon.

    T.... ....

    FIDLAR, Ty Segall, Bass Drum of Death, Fuzz, Agent Orange. Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Minor Threat, The Kenneths, Witch, old Bad Religion, Vandals, GG Allin, Motorhead, Descendents (milo goes to college), and Fugazi oh and Black Lips

    T.... ....
