WILD
♫ AFI Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every one of my words, not worth believing
Every promise I kept, kept you deceiving
Gave golden years that you erased. I split my heart and watched you take
Every drop of my soul and leave me bleeding
Yeah, you taught me this

True love won't be remembered
My regret will last forever
Because I thought you'd never

Yeah, you brought me here

I was painfully true you were pretending
You told me this was heaven then you ascended
I gave you life, now pray for death, breathed into you, you stole my breath
You told me right from the start, we started ending
I believed in you

True love wont' be remembered
My regret will last forever
Because I thought you'd never

Yeah, you brought me here

Now I'm singing ashamed
That all my words are the same
Now I'm screaming
Betrayed

Now I'm singing ashamed
That all my words are the same
Because I'm singing
Betrayed

Yeah, you brought me here

True love wont' be remembered
My regret will last forever
True love wont' be remembered




My regret will last forever
Because I thought you'd never

Overall Meaning

How would you know if these boys were stealing items in the castle or other homes?

To think these glove wearing boys are simply adventurers who are intrigued by others history is simply absurd.

Clearly, they are looking for antiques and valuable goods, hence, "what's the brand name?".

They are breaking and entering, not to mention possible (likely) burglary.

I hope they are caught and arrested.

Een prachtige video! Heel interessant! Een paar observaties:
1:08: de standbeelden worden 'Atlanten' of 'grotesken' genoemd
3:05: deze bogen zijn niet middeleeuws, maar eerder neo-renaissance. Als ze middeleeuws waren, zouden het spitsbogen zijn.
9:15 Fleur-de-lis motief, dit verwijst naar het franse koningschap;
9:25 kandelaberzuilen
28:45: de kleine kopjes zijn Cupido's
28:56: de mannenkop is een zgn. Groene Man, met gebladerte rond zijn hoofd. Groene man is een manifestatie van Wodan.
41:04 heel bijzonder blauw behang met Louis XVI-motieven, ik schat rond 1800-1820
41:33 behangen deur: heel typisch frans
52:25: personeelslaapkamers (dat concluderen jullie terecht bij 52:50)
53:13 zuil uit de renaissance, nee, uit de 19de eeuw, ik denk neo-grec, Ionischezuil met kapiteel
53:27 geen middeleeuwse kelder (want die zou gewelven hebben)
55:33 geen vogelkooi, maar een zgn. vliegenkast, de voorloper van de moderne koelkast. Hierin werden bedervelijke waren in de kelder koel bewaard, vrij van vliegen. In Oldengaerde, Dwingeloo, provincie Drenthe, Nederland hangt er ook zo een in de kelder.

Hi John, I like the question you asked,” why we are even here and what does life mean?” GOOD QUESTION........
As a Christian that believes in God, I believe we are here because we are created by Him (by God) “For in him we live, and move, and have our being” The Bible. Acts 17.28.
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. The Bible. Genesis Chapter 2 Verse 7
What does life mean?”

The Bible Ecclesiastes 12 verses 13,14
Fear God and keep His commandments,
For this is man’s all.
For God will bring every work into judgment,
Including every secret thing,
Whether good or evil.

I'm 57. This is one of my family's homes. We lost 2/3 of the men in my family during ww1. I played in the place when I was 6 and 7. I can't believe to see the state the place is in. I'm glad to see it. Thank you for your video and respect you show.
When Tata Jacqueline passed we never went back. There is a lot of pain in my family from the war. I hope you understand this. My family plans to redo this home.
Someday you should come when we finish

@nancyloomis3046

solitaire smith Wow! Nice of you to share this about your family and hope that you can get back to restore this fabulous home soon, but I can only imagine the sorrow of losing so many family members during wartime and how hard it is to see the shape of it now. Plus Im sure it will cost a fortune to restore. As you know, things are deteriorating and will continue to at an even faster pace depending on the insects and mold/moisture levels that have already done a lot of damage. Plus if it’s discovered by too many people & it’s easy to get in, so many of the priceless antiques and family heirlooms may be stolen and the house further damaged by vandals. If you cannot afford to start restoration, I would at least remove the valuables and get the property & house secured. I’m glad we can see it and that people can video it to share, but I’d rather the house be secure.

@johnnyebelindabewley4536

Fix it up give tours and tell the history behind it. Ask for donations during the tour to help with the upkeep of the place

@chandracox6814

Who used to live here? You mentioned Jacqueline? I'm curious to know of others.
