AFI - This Celluloid Dream Lyrics






Calling tears from deep inside, oh, you're so exquisite
And in the mirror, all midnight eyes
Oh, if I could remain, but it's just a visit
All midnight eyes read "vacancy"
Twisted, twisting

To the lovely dancing lights, I begged, "May I cut in?"
But they never stopped playing "their song"
Of a joyous song they sing, I've heard whispers
On a freezing note, I resonate

Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end
Just like a memory, it twists me
Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end
Twist... twisting me

You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
Onto the melting boy, and melt away
You light as gently, you're so cinematic
Bathed in your radiance, I melt

In the glitter, in the dark, sunk into velvet
Praying this will never end
In the shadow of a star, in static pallor
I realized I never began

Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end
Just like a memory, it twists me
Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end
Twist... twisting me

You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
Onto the melting boy, and melt away
You light as gently, you're so cinematic
Bathed in your radiance, I melt

All the colours upon leaving, all will turn to grey
All the colours upon leaving, all will turn to grey
(All grey) All the colours (All grey) upon leaving
(All grey) all will turn to grey
(All grey) All the colours (All grey) upon leaving
(All grey) all will turn to grey... grey... twisting me

You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
Onto the melting boy, and melt away
You light as gently, you're so cinematic
Bathed in your radiance

You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
You land as lightly as the new snow, and melt away
You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
Bathed in your radiance, I melt

    @Angel Robles 2019 :)

  29. E.... J....

    I love how u can listen to a song like 10 years ago and it can mean one thing then and something completely different later. I love the line that goes "all the colors upon leaving will turn to grey." For me it's saying to remember "the colors" and not take the "light, and landing lightly as new snow" etc for granted bc ... well dreams are real to a certain extant. They r part of our psyches and that is real. It's like his lover has come to him in his dreams to awaken and process the experiences from actual life. *my ADHD opinion*

  30. a.... ....

    couldnt sleep. thought of this song. been over a decade since i listened to afi. whats up with that??

  31. M.... B....

    Such an epic album

  32. B.... T....

    I feel Total Immortal when i bleed that Celluloid Dream in me...

  33. F.... D....

    best AFI album hands down!

  34. p.... 2....

    this song is literally engraved in my brain

    p.... 2....

    Must have been painful as shit when you got it engraved.

    p.... 2....

    @Virus278 no, actually the brain doesn't have any pain receptors

    p.... 2....

    Holy shit didn't know that - your original statement makes more sense then

  35. T.... B....

    One of the best albums ever.

    T.... B....

    @300Mhz There's nothing objective about it. I like both, but I like sing the sorrow better.

    T.... B....

    Wilbur Jenkins Wilbur Jenkins Wilbur Jenkins Wilbur Jenkins eh, fair enough. different strokes and such...but really this is my favorite song off of sorrow...couldn't choose one from drowning if I tried

    1. Morningstar
    2. A Story at 3
    3. catch a hot one
    4. despair faction
    5. Wester
    6. days of the Phoenix

    although I heard sorrow first it didn't stick as hard, except Paper Airplanes and This Celluloid dream :/

    it don't help that I was falling madly In love with a succubus siren cunt who pushed the album on me lol

    T.... B....

    Black Sails or Art of Drowning are their best.
    This album was alright. Beginning of the end though.

    T.... B....

    @Save Sin City depending on the day..

    T.... B....

    i agree

  36. B.... ....

    Ma I miss this album being played everyday on my way to school.

  37. S.... Q....

    It's so hard to pick a favorite song in this album !

    S.... Q....

    Susie Q 7

    S.... Q....
