	I love this song it is my favorite one from the album which is wierd because usually i dont like a lot of screaming but i guess there are always special exceptions... great song, needs more comments

No Picture Allarme Average	#2 by Allarme at Sep 27, 2007 at 6:52 AM EST

	Sorry that I'm posting so many messages, but the next part of the song a lady says continuously" Well, I can't find either of of them now!" Put your ear against your stereo.

No Picture max Average	#5 by max zigman at Sep 28, 2007 at 1:36 PM EST
	I luv dis song!!! It was instantly ma fav song of the album i luv it!!! But da lyrics r wrong!!! u need to get bloody right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Picture Carsten Average	#6 by Carsten Stehle at Sep 28, 2007 at 4:01 PM EST
	i'm quite a fan of metal myself, but i always liked AFI's way of screaming without being screamo. great song

No Picture mike Wanna Be	#7 by mike zaborski at Sep 28, 2007 at 7:36 PM EST
	Ennui (Pronunciation: /ɑ̃nɥi/) is a feeling of weariness and dissatisfaction.

No Picture one Average	#8 by one life at Sep 29, 2007 at 12:51 AM EST
	Song IMO about government and rules along with being a human (following rules "Spend some time, walk the line") As for what's being said after the song: 'I cant find either one of them now Uh, Dad's here I cant find either one of them ok, where are you wait because im asking for a simple favor and she wont even do that, and so im gonna help him out and then ill be back home'

No Picture Connor Rhythm Player	#9 by Connor Fowler at Sep 29, 2007 at 4:04 AM EST
	This song is beauitful. The only song that actually sounds like AFI on the album. I love the part at the end. Amazing song...

No Picture masterbasser Rhythm Player	#10 by masterbasser . at Sep 29, 2007 at 5:33 AM EST
	REAL LYRICS: Every night devise new heights in genocide. Lover I am loveless. All my friends and I toast health and suicide. Lover, I am lonely. Were you holding hands when my palms bled? Oh, I will be all right...just use me. The future's bright without me. Spend some time walking the line. World is unified. Ennui, and I divide. Lover, I am loveless. Red days burning might bleed till the faceless die. Oh, lover I am lonely. Were you holding hands when my wrists bled? So stay sweetly numb. Remain lifeless, love. So stay sweetly numb. Maintain lifeless love.

No Picture Andrew Wanna Be	#11 by Andrew Tedder at Sep 29, 2007 at 6:52 AM EST
	A phrase in the second part of the song that I listened to said "I can't find him I went up and down looking" Hmmmmmmmmm wonder what it means.

No Picture IvZ Average	#12 by IvZ at Sep 30, 2007 at 11:13 PM EST
	I really like this song. The main part of it is quick and really gives meaning to "affliction". Then, the part after that has ended, with the phone call and everything, sounds beautiful. Only AFI.

No Picture Charley Wanna Be	#13 by Charley Dawe at Oct 1, 2007 at 4:10 PM EST
	does ne one kno wht's being said after the song??

No Picture This is between Wanna Be	#14 by This is between me and this blade, and my heart Taylor at Oct 1, 2007 at 4:45 PM EST
	I really like this song. Possibly the most underrated on the album. Well I can't moan really as I wasn't a fan initially, but I just walked into the room one day and the chorus was playing, and it just hit me. To me the song is just about feeling unwanted, as in the context of unrequited love, as in one opening up their heart to a stone door. I think the lyrics are quite self-explanatory from that perspective. 1 2 Next

	At the end I hear the girl saying: "Because I'm asking for a simple favor and she won't even do that. And so I'm going to help him out and the I'll be back home."

No Picture Andy Average	#18 by Andy Quinton at Oct 3, 2007 at 1:27 AM EST
	The song is about a guy who commited suicide, and apparently his patents did not know about it and they tried finding him. I listened to the other part of the song.

No Picture Ben Average	#19 by Ben at Oct 3, 2007 at 9:55 AM EST
	this song is sooo awesome...but i cant figure out what shes saying during the last like minute of the song...something about like helping someone out and then going home...but this is one of the greatest songs off their new album

No Picture tory Average	#20 by tory lopez at Oct 3, 2007 at 12:30 PM EST
	i agree with emogirl. i get the feeling that davey wants to be with whoever he's singing about so much, that even if she is just using him, he's still with her. he kind of has a different attitude when he screams the lyrics: "Were you holding hands when my wrists bled?" it sounds like he's accusing her of cheating. his wrists bleeding signifying him realizing it and what her cheating does to him

No Picture Bye! Average	#21 by Bye! at Oct 3, 2007 at 1:23 PM EST
	i...honestly,have no clue what the meaning is. the last part is awsome though,with the synth and stuff.........i love this entire cd...

	this song is sooooo awsome i luv it 1 of my favorite afi songs!!!!!!!!!but im not totoally sure wat it means when i first looked at the lyrics i thought davey was talking about a girlfriend who was using him (OH I WILL BE ALRIGHT JUST USE ME) and then he also says lifeless love probably meaning that the relashionship was lifless and loveless b/c she was only using him probably 4 the name as davey/s girlfriend or wat ever reason and he says walk the line maybe meaning 4 the girl to feel wat he feels(walk the line) but it also makes sense 4 this song to be about a suicide but im going with my idea
