AFX Lyrics

We held hands on the last night on earth.
On the final night before potential global doom, we had our hands wrapped around each other's as a symbol of comfort, companionship, and readiness for whatever challenges lay ahead.

Our mouths filled with dust, we kissed in the fields and under trees,
Despite the fact that our surroundings were filled with dirt and other types of gritty debris, we still shared intimate, passionate kisses in our favorite natural settings.

Screaming like dogs, bleeding dark into the leaves.
Our emotional and physical intensity was so great that we could only express it through visceral, animalistic sounds that mixed with our blood, which dripped onto the foliage surrounding us.

It was empty on the edge of town but we knew everyone floated
Although we may have felt isolated at the outskirts of civilization, we recognized that all of humanity would eventually perish and become part of the cycle of nature.

Along the bottom of the river.
We imagined the deceased bodies of others lying on the river's bed, symbolizing a connection between all life and death.

So we walked through the waste where the road curved into the sea
We strolled through the abandoned, decaying remnants of society as we approached the water's edge which separated our world from the unknown depths.

And the shattered seasons lay,
The passing of time had become fragmented and broken, with no clear cycle of life or death.

And the bitter smell of burning was on you like a disease.
The stench of destruction and decay was so overpowering that it lingered on our skin like an unwelcome illness.

In our cancer of passion you said, "Death is a midnight runner."
As we nurtured our intense emotions for each other, you used a poetic way to express the inevitability of death as being swift and mysterious.

The sky had come crashing down like the news of an intimate suicide.
The once stable heavens had collapsed and burned, mirroring the shock and despair one would feel receiving news of a personal loved one's tragic demise.

We picked up the shards and formed them into shapes
We took the remnants of the shattered sky and repurposed them into something beautiful, resembling stars in a bridal gown.

Of stars that wore like an antique wedding dress.
These star-shaped creations were reminiscent of a vintage bridal gown, with their unique and timeless charm.

The echoes of the past broke the hearts of the unborn
The haunting remnants of the past had a profound and heavy impact on future generations, leaving them feeling lost, damaged, and incomplete.

As the ferris wheel silently slowed to a stop.
The cessation of a once lively and thrilling ride represented a larger metaphor for the collapse of society and the world as we knew it.

The few insects skittered away in hopes of a better pastime.
Even the bugs and other small creatures around us could sense the despair and futility of our circumstances, fleeing in search of more promising surroundings.

I kissed you at the apex of the maelstrom and asked
As chaos and destruction swirled around us, I chose to passionately kiss you and then ask you a symbolic yet poignant question.

If you would accompany me in a quick fall,
I was asking if you would join me in a reckless and possibly perilous freefall, an expression of our shared desire for adventure and rebellion.

But you made me realize that my ticket wasn′t for two.
Your response reminded me that I was on this journey alone and unable to take anyone with me, ultimately preparing me for a solo venture.

You said, "The cinders are falling like snow."
You pointed out the beautiful yet ominous sight of falling ashes that resembled snowflakes, which served as a reminder that death and destruction could also be strangely mesmerizing and poetic.

There is poetry in despair, and we sang with unrivaled beauty,
Despite our dire circumstances, we found that there was something incredibly beautiful and emotional about despair, and we sang with an unmatched sense of pathos.

Bitter elegies of savagery and eloquence.
Our songs were bittersweet and poignant, expressing both deep pain and eloquent beauty in equal measure.

Of blue and grey.
Our music conveyed feelings of sadness, melancholy, and nostalgia, as if we were remembering a past that was both heartbreaking and unforgettable.

Strange, we ran down desperate streets and carved our names in the flesh of the city.
Amidst the chaos, we embraced an intense form of rebellion, running through the streets and leaving our indelible marks on the flesh of the city like tattoos.

The sun was stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the horizon
The sun had ceased to function as we knew it, and was now only a faint memory on the fringes of our dying world.

And the darkness is a mystery of curves and lines.
In the absence of light, the darkness seemed to take on ever-changing and mysterious shapes, creating an otherworldly atmosphere.

Still, we lay under the emptiness and drifted slowly outward,
Despite the futility of our predicament, we laid together under the vast emptiness and allowed ourselves to be slowly pulled away from our doomed home planet.

And somewhere in the wilderness we found salvation scratched
Even as we moved further and further away from Earth, we discovered a glimmer of hope and redemption, etched into the very earth beneath us.

Into the earth like a message
This message of hope and possibility was buried deep within our planet's soil, waiting to be discovered and brought to light again.
