Lyric of the Day

AFI you legends. I got tired of an album (in particular a CD) I was listening to on my route to work this morning and put my USB in and an AFI song randomly came on. It put me in the most awesome mood. They have the most wonderful energy, I am of course talking about their earlier albums ('Very Proud of Ya' and 'Shut your mouth and open your eyes'). The song I am talking about in particular sings of focusing on your life and living the life you want without outside interference/s. Sometimes things just find me! I think these lyrics definitely fall in line with me pursuing my authentic life.

"When it comes the time that you have recognized your line

and you realize the path that you will travel through your life.

be sure that what you want is exactly what you're trying to get,

or you'll be speeding toward a cliff without realizing that...

Before you know, the haze makes you slow.

Ignore your future, forget your past.

before you know, cars start to crash.

There are so many choices, the opportunities abound.

Just be sure to keep things straight and be sure to stand your ground.

Let nothing shade your vision, even fight to keep it clear.

Let no one change what's right for you, for when you start to veer."

Lyric of the Day

AFI happens to be one of my favourite bands. I know I say that about every band, but hey I even chose a design from one of their albums covers and now wear that design as a tattoo on my wrist (wow my cell takes crappy pictures).

This song also stands as a favourite. A song about frustration and friendship. Seems apt to me, sometimes a song sums up the feelings you have inside and through those simple words you are able to tell someone how you feel. I just wish sometimes that I could send a song to someone, or play it for them, and then they would have an "aha" moment. You know that shizzle Oprah talks about.

I think this could work in countless situations. "I love You, let me play you a song".

"You're a jerk, let me play you a song". "I'm heartbroken, let me play you a song". I think you get the point. Now let me play the song.

"It's the same old situation,

it seems it's coming 'round again.

I wont play the fool,

I'm not screwin' around.

I only play to win.

I only want what I deserve so who are you tryin' to kid?

No more waitin' around,

no more hangin' around,

no more draggin' me down.

no more, no more."
