AFI - Your Name Here Lyrics






It's the same old situation, it seems it's coming around again.
I won't play the fool, I'm not screwing around.
I only play to win. I only want what I deserve so who are you
trying to kid? You can call it like you see it,
but I call it like it is. I'm sick of shrugging off your petty little ways.
The names are always changing, in the end it's just a game.
We're running in a circle, a never ending chase.
You keep on stepping out of reach, but you never win the race.
No more waiting around, no more hanging around,
no more dragging me down.
Everything's so easy for you,
but I've struggled to get this far. I'm all alone in the fight.
What's wrong, who's right? I take it all to heart.
Your true colors start to show, you call yourself a friend.
The teams are drawn, you chose your side, you'll get yours in the end.
You play along to the same old song just as long as you can win.
When someone better comes along,
you're too cool to let them in.
So now I've got you wondering if I've got it in for you.
I'd like to tell you different, but I can't because it's true.

    A.... M....

    lmao im so glad im not you.

    A.... M....

    Bands evolve man.

  5. n.... ....

    The old stuff was great, the new stuff is great. No artist can avoid growth, if they do they are not really artists to begin with. It's called change people, either adapt or die off like the dinosaurs.

    n.... ....

    amen buddy. perfectly said. couldn't be more true, especially for the long time fans of AFI. All the best to you and yours bud

  6. C.... V....

    Old AFI :´)

  7. A.... G....

    Skate punk at it's finest.

  8. F.... ....

    Favorite song on this album. It's all still afi I used to like this album the most but sing the sorrow is my favorite

  9. S.... ....

    Reason I hate this? Comments section. Not a single comment that would not mention "new/old afi" etc. just stop, lol, you're fucking dumb.

  10. s.... ....

    i think i love u

  11. V.... A....

    you should love your friends for enjoying AFI regardless of what their favorite song is, atleast you have something in common. stop judging your 'friends'

  12. N.... O....

    Seriously, every album is different. There is not just "New" and "Old" AFI

  13. C.... ....

    This is a pure punk album shame they didn't stay this way

  14. M.... T....

    I love all of AFI's older albums, took a bit to acclimate since the first I ever heard by them was Ms. Murder, but I went back and started from the beginning and falling in love with them all over again. Something about how wonderfully incredible the ideas behind them was, that set it all apart.

  15. 1.... ....

    Then why are they your friends.

  16. 1.... ....

    So you can't appreciate a band for what they play....eat shit and die.

  17. s.... ....

    FUCK YES BABY!

  18. A.... ....

    Chumbawamba

  19. d.... ....

    First song I heard was Miss Murder, was like okay. Then I heard Love Like Winter, suddenly jumped to Malleus Maleficarium, Third Season and then got back to ATASF and VPOY. Havent stopped listening to this guys for 7 years now. Fuckin' insane band.

  20. H.... ....

    It's because they aren't a punk band. They WERE a righteous punk band. But now? They're something else.

  21. l.... ....

    Why do so many pretentious "punks" hate this band?

    l.... ....

    llJORDANll cuz they are "sell outs"

  22. A.... ....

    Why the fuck would anyone wanna chose their new crap instead of this awesome kickass shit? Don't answer that but stay fashionable.

    A.... ....

    why wouldnt anyone choose both aside from not being able to overcome the self made walls in their minds?

    A.... ....

    intelligent design?

  23. G.... ....

    @donpapinski because this song came out in 1995, and this video wasn't posted until 12 years later. and i'm sure there were other videos of this song but they were deleted because of copywrite laws

  24. S.... C....

    Because they change haircuts? There's old bands like Led Zeppelin and the Beatles. Then there's Madonna, No Doubt, REM. I'd say the Red Hot Chili Peppers changed a lot. Beastie Boys changed. Lots of bands changed when they really got famous. That's why its natural. They didn't change to hide their talent, you just didn't like them because they changed. Like I said, it's OK to not like their new stuff. I was just saying how change isn't them leaving fans behind. Some just can't handle change.

  25. S.... C....

    @1978deus Image change isn't natural? Well, that is your opinion. I personally feel it is a natural process. As I matured, I no longer wear jeans and ripped T-Shirts. My music interest has also changed. While I still listen to old AFI, I have also grown fond of many other genre's. I also feel they have deep lyrics in their old albums. I also think their old stuff is some of their best work. Times change, but that doesn't mean they purposefully changed to abandon fans and become sellouts.

  26. S.... C....

    @1978deus I have nothing against them not liking change. It's when they are "sell outs" and that they "turned on their fanbase" bullshit. Like they have to stay exactly the same or they are immediately sellouts and no longer care about their fans. That's what close minded is. If you don't like their new shit, don't like it. That's all fine. But the people who cry "oh no, they turned on their fans because they changed" are the ones that I was talking about. That clear it up for you?

  27. S.... C....

    @masterthehate2 Age? What does age have to do with it? I'm 28 and have listened to AFI since Shut Your Mouth album. That Manson quote doesn't even relate. You are mad because they changed. I never said it didn't make you feel better. I never said it judges. I never said it wasn't an escape. I said you act as if they "sold out" because they changed. They had to sing the same genre forever because their "fanbase" is too selfish to let them change. That sounds fair. It's your opinion though.

  28. S.... C....

    @masterthehate2 So, they can't change? They are now slaves to whatever the "fanbase" wants them to be? Don't kid yourself. They changed, you didn't, and you are upset. Not everyone wants to be like you and I'm glad you are so open minded that you can't imagine someone wanting to experience or try something new. This is what kills good music. When fan's no longer appreciate the band members themselves and instead pretend that "we made you so we own you." They are still making music. You left.

  29. R.... ....

    @masterthehate2 EXACTLY! THEY WOULDN'T EVEN SIGN MY ATASF!

  30. R.... ....

    @masterthehate2 EXACTLY! THEY WOULDN'T EVEN SIGN MY ATASF!

  31. S.... D....

    Conversation with 2006 AFI:
    Davey: Damn I love my devilish look...
    Annoying Orange: Hey Davey! Hey Davey!
    Davey: Uh yeah?
    Annoying Orange: PLASTIC SURGURY
    Davey: AHH! AHH! (screams)

  32. C.... B....

    @anok4me pretty sure its an ampeg, or a Galien Krueger

  33. j.... ....

    I forgot how much i enjoyed Afi since miss murder came out thank you for posting this

  34. S.... D....

    @HoosierMF That's the spirit!

  35. S.... D....

    @HoosierMF
    And plus, I'm 12

  36. S.... D....

    @HoosierMF
    Okay I didn't do that your probably thinking of someone else
    Second, I was just saying that all you do is say "AFI sucks these days!" I mean really I'm not offended but just to give you a reality check no ones really listening...

  37. S.... D....

    @HoosierMF
    How come whenever I go on an old school Afi song like this, you're always just argueing and pissing people off? I mean really. Are you that closedminded that thats all you do? You really gotta open your eyes.

  38. S.... D....

    @miguel53115
    MY ASS

  39. S.... D....

    Sean

    Well he said to put my name here, didn't he?

  40. D.... C....

    Something about AFI, regardless if you like their new stuff, their old stuff or a mix of all of it, something about them. . . no matter what you are going through, no matter what situation you are in, they have a song for that, and will 9 times out of 10 make you feel better by the end of the song. that is the 'magic' of afi and why I am glad I found them so long ago, to this day they still are my cure for the world.

  41. K.... ....

    @jverlander35 You're easy.

  42. k.... ....

    New AFI isn't AFI, it's really MCR performing behind AFI's name that's why...

  43. b.... ....

    i still love afi but when they were hardcore like this jade or hunter? who ever was on the bass kicked ass.

  44. k.... ....

    was this a cover??

  45. P.... S....

    @thepumpkins.....What an idiot. Jade is amazing playing. Who cares if he is gay fuck off dude.

  46. K.... V....

    @superomegamegacop13 seriously I know what you mean it makes me sad I was only introduced to them during Days of the Phoenix I wish I could have grown up with their earlier stuff like this :/

  47. M.... Z....

    good times :)

  48. C.... H....

    i dont see how jade is a better guitarist :P

  49. T.... ....

    i love this song! i can totally relate to it!

  50. A.... C....

    fav afi song

  51. j.... ....

    ...the good 'ol days.

  52. J.... H....

    haha..this is the first song i ever learned on bass...about 7 or 8 or somethin years ago

  53. A.... L....

    this is when they sounded a lot like bands like offspring and misfits

  54. A.... ....

    fucking grewat song

  55. O.... E....

    no,
    yo nomas decia
    xd

  56. A.... ....

    sale aweonao, q mierda tiene k ver eso

  57. O.... E....

    viva el che guevara

  58. a.... ....

    Why is it bullshit? Some ppl buy an album or go to see movies just because their fave band put it out or the actor is in it. There are movies that are crap and still earn a lot of money and a nom for an award. Yea AFI has some good stuff but anything past Art of Drowning and Sing the Sorrow is fine for being music but sad that it's AFI. I applaud them for trying to be different and all but people support anything just because it's them.

  59. a.... ....

    No offense, but people like you are what drives bands down. You guys support anything that's put out.

  60. a.... ....

    HAHA Nicely put.
    I'm an AFI fan but i don't like the new stuff. i'm fan of this *Answer That...* AFI. I don't like what mall kids have done to AFI. STS and beyond is all thanks to mall kids.

  61. j.... ....

    I see this album all the time at my local record store, never listened to it but I love the Tarantino based cover. Sounds pretty good :D

  62. a.... ....

    totally agree! STS is so sick...thats when i first heard about them and ever since ive been listening to them...old and new... they've changed but not in a bad way...still a very solid band! and in some ways underrated 2

  63. c.... ....

    I fucking loved this album. And this was my fav song on it. I used to love AFI. Still do, but much less so than back in highschool hah.

  64. e.... ....

    YEah, earlier today, one of my friends hated afi, and they wanted to know why i had such a passion for them ,so, i spent 30minutes telling them about afi and thei music evolution. Ill tell ya, they wont be hatin AFI no more

  65. B.... M....

    I am a huge fan of AFI, I have all of their albums (Answer That, Very Proud of Ya, Shut Your Mouth, black sails, art of drowning, sing the sorrow, and decemberunderground) I don't disown any of their work, its all great because its all AFI. Some albums are better than others, but I like them all the same. I'm tired of people saying they sold out. They change with every album. Thats what makes them so unique! My Fav album though is Black Sails

  66. e.... ....

    they are not a disgrace. if you dun't like that style you dunt have to listen to it. I personaly both, punk and pop.
    If they were a disgrace everyone would be hatin on them, but theur are people who appreciate the are.
    i love this punk, but, i also love their new stuff too.
    if you dun't like it, just don't listen to it

  67. e.... ....

    yeah, i first heard of em from miss murder, but unlike most people, i looked up more stuff by em. most kids my age say they love afi, and only know miss murder n love like winter.
    Dun get me wrong, i love thoughs songs, but, I love the rest of they're music too.
    AFI For EVER

  68. e.... ....

    hmm, sure, what is punk to you then? the all american rejects or somethin? i know real punk, and i love that shit. so, obviously your 11 year old sister has better taste in music than yourself.
    i was saying poser, because, posers are wannabe/know it all type people who think they can talk shit even if they are naive on the subject. like yourself.

  69. m.... e....

    listen pal, that statement was a joke! because my lil sister(shes 11) really likes this song. ive probably know more real punk music then u have ever heard of. "poser" how am i a poser by not liking emo...

  70. e.... ....

    hey, i personnaly, i am 13. but, i love ALL of AFi. from Answer that and stay fashinoble all the way to decemberunderground to blaqk audio-cex cells.
    Yeah, i am thirteen, but i have such a passion for afi, it makes up for that.

    AFI FOR LIFE!!!!!

  71. e.... ....

    if you dun fucking like it, dun write shit you fucking pathetic poser!
    this is real punk. go back to your simple plan!
    if you can't appreciate this art, than GET OUT OF HERE!

  72. B.... M....

    i think they changed because they wanted to try something

  73. B.... M....

    thats what i love about their nitro records...its upbeat and in your face, the fuck you attitude I love!

  74. B.... M....

    F U! miguel115 go die!

  75. B.... M....

    your totally right, the real fans know all of their stuff, not just decemberunderground...I like their old stuff alot, their new stuff is cool too though

  76. m.... e....

    this has got to be the worst crap! i have ever heard...

  77. i.... ....

    Like the resevoir dogs thing. but all in all it actually is not half bad.

  78. D.... ....

    Great song, only he talked a bit glibberish at the time ;p
