The Music Made Me Do It : AFI : The Leaving Song Pt. 2 : Lyrics

52 comments on this song.
user kyle	I'm glad they released this as a single, because "Girl's Not Grey" is kind of a let down for the first one, in my opinion. This is a hell of a song. I love the intensity of it and the impact behind Davey's shouting and screaming. A great short intro, too. added: 11/25/2003, 07:30 PM

Ross	It's a fun song. I was kinda dissappointed when they decided to air this as their single to follow up GNG but it grew on me and I like it as much as all the others on the album now. Just look at these amazing lyrics... and the spanish is nice too! added: 12/02/2003, 08:34 PM

A FIRE INSIDE

An awesone song. I'm glad they made this the follow up to GNG, which was crap.

GNG = Let down. This one wasnt too much better either. It's not even noticable compared to other tracks on the album.

I think Girl's Not Grey was a good song, but this one is better. It has good music and a good mix of Davey talking, screaming, and singing. I applaud this song...

Vash	probably my favourite song on the album. HELLA intense, fucking makes you scream along with it every time you hear it. added: 02/22/2004, 12:31 PM

Why does everyone seem to hate Girls Not Grey? I think every song on the album is great, including this one! They're all great! Don't knock it 'til you've tried it! (Seriously, you try writing songs like this...its hard!)

I just love this song. the whole idea of leaving and this kind of rock is really appealing to me.

"don't waste your touch- you won't feel anything" is one of the best lines ever. I can relate totally. I really love yelling along with this song too!

Deviant, the thing that makes this song and all of the other songs on this cd is how Davey (he's Davey not "the singer") says things. It just makes the song so much more exciting.

cmon peeps. girl's not grey is wicked. probably not as good as leaving pt 2 but it rocks. i love it

Sadly, No

Horrible song by a band that is capable of music far, far better than this. I don't dig the Linkin Park-style guitar intro.

i love this song. anyone know what "Y regreso aqui otra vez
Y comienzo" means though? sorry if its been asked all ready.

Love Is Insane

One of the greatest on the album. Started by a great guitar intro (which does sound like Linkin Park) from Jade.

Love Is Insane

(which does not** sound like Linkin Park)

to all you dumbasses who say this sounds like linkin park are fucking retarded, linkin park is more like "Mommy Don't Touch me there, i am so queer"...then they start to play numb....thats all i have to say

added: 05/30/2004, 07:29 PM

Poopstick Ninja

So what you're saying is, this isn't near straight-leaning enough to be Linkin Park.

added: 05/30/2004, 09:19 PM

PycoMaggot6(SIC)6

no what im saying that this band is better then linkin park and most "punk" acts out today, and i listen to old afi as well so im not saying this to be like OMG AFI IS SO PUNKROXORZ, they make good music and i enjoy it unlike others who just listen to them because they happened to be on trl, and again linkin park blows and fuck mtv

my gosh i love this song

TheEndlessObsession

ummm, I was never a fan but weren't these guys a punk band at one point? What happened? I feel bad for the loyal fans they had that had to see them come out with this.

added: 06/13/2004, 11:43 AM

THE Perfect Name

Why, cuz they get even better? Shouldnt feel bad about that.......

Good song. I don't see the Linkin Park similarities in the intro. Last time I checked, they didn't do fretboard tapping intros. This album wasn't as hard as older ones but still a good album.
Hey PycoMaggot6(SIC)6, just out of curiosity, why such hatred towards Mtv and Linkin Park? LP is doing their thing and doing good by it. Not my taste, but they're making money. And why such hate on Mtv? After all, they did help propel Slipknot into the limelight 5 years ago. And by looking at your name, which is an obvious reference to Slipknot, you should be thankful for a place like Mtv. You think they would get airplay on most radiostations? I think not. Clear Channel would not touch that, and Infinity Broadcasting would have a hard time opening up to them as well. TV brought them their fame because the "mask band" and Nu-Metal was in.

It's okay.

This song's alright.. but it's an AFI song so I still have to fucking like it. I like the whole 'mosh scene' in this video.

I Really Fucking Hate Emo

Davey Havok sings like a fucking girl. Fuck him.

added: 08/02/2004, 05:39 AM

Deadwired2

It's my firm opinion that Davey Havok is in fact nothing special. His lyrics are indeed top-notch, but please people, quit giving Davey Havok all the credit whereas none of the other members are commented upon. No one even mentioned how groovy the intro sounds, not how depressing the music alone is. Could any of you even list the members of this band besides Davey without looking them up immediately? (A FIRE INSIDE not included)

it's a pretty good song...*shifty eyes* DON'T KILL ME!! *runs*

they arent really punk they're music is really spread all over cuz i mean i see jocks and preps and ghetto ppl that like em

the smell of water

i can name them, my sister is a huge fan " jade puget(who is very awesome) adam carson, davey havok, and hunter, but i cant remember hunters last name. And do you guys even know the two original members of afi? (not including deadwired2)

added: 08/23/2004, 09:17 PM

the smell of water

oh...and they did awhile back sound like punk, but now they dont

added: 08/23/2004, 09:18 PM

Love Is Insane

yes, a different sounds. but not selling out. they went more goth than anything. The Leaving Song Pt. II is a wonderful song with amazing lyrics.

added: 08/30/2004, 02:11 AM

Sadly, No

the other 2 members were Geoff Kresge and some guy named Vic who played guitar. Mark came after. Geoff is now tattooed head top toe with a mohawk and looks like the scariest motherfucker in the world. He plays standup bass in Tiger Army.

true afi was more punk ahwile back but i honestly think they sound better but thats my opinion

Definetly one of the best songs on the CD. Love it to death. Got me back into AFI.

I don't really like this song very much, one of the less amazing on Sing The Sorrow. But still, you have to admit that it's fucking intense.

AFI used to be good, they fucked up big time, insult me if you like, but they completely went goth emo.

added: 05/25/2005, 05:46 PM

ummm m gonna make fun of you because just cuz its emo it isnt it bad its pretty much always been their style

added: 07/07/2005, 12:37 PM

Dare2dream1223

there is absolutely nothing wrong with "goth emo"...1) u prolly have no clue wat ur talkin about and r using stereotypes...2) this is not goth emo, emo possibly but its no where near goth emo...and 3) be open minded and if u dont like the style of the song dont listen to it/look for the lyrics and trash it

added: 08/04/2005, 09:54 AM

Yet another awesome AFI track...And no, they are not "goth emo" you morons...

you wont feel anything....theres nothing left

"Goth emo?" What the hell are you on, dude? How is this stuff emo? Goth maybe, but not in this song. This a straight ahead good contemporary rock song. Get your fucking facts straight.

Oh yeah...and this song is fucking awesome.

added: 12/24/2005, 09:16 AM

Loaf	hmm .. not emo and not goth. AFI is a bit goth but, it's more in the older stuff. This is an amazing song, one of my all time favorites by them. added: 12/30/2005, 01:59 AM

I love this song, AFI has such a unique sound, and I love how their lead singer sounds, its great!

this is the best goth emo song ever!

Sing the Sorrow songs = CLASSIC AFI!! Best album ever! This song proves it. Please, for all you "new" fans, AFI IS NOT FUCKING EMO!!!!! If you really believe that, you're fucked up in the brain and need to go listen to My Chemical Romance shit.

added: 09/02/2006, 02:04 AM

Kristofer Macabre

There's absolutly no way to describe what kind of music AFI is. Anyways, this song has such power to it and prooves the fact that AFI indeed has a fire inside.

Cool song here with a killer chorus. This song helped convince me to get the album.
