I went to watch AFI when they played at the Hard rock hotel ..and This song was the Best !!! Especially when Davey sang the Bridge and the crowd sang with him ! I really truley love the work of AFI ! theyre an amazing band !
He's referring to his heart ("I'll let you tear it up/break it up") as long as you "don't wake" him up from the 'dream' of being in love. Everybody knows you can't repair a torn heart & that being in love is often thought of as being in a dream. The "flood behind" him is the build up of tears that will be released upon waking up & realizing his dream isn't real. The "fire inside" is subjective to the listener & could represent anything, but in this instance would refer to his ability to love.
I'm so gald that's what they were really saying! I wasn't sure but that's what went through my mind when I listened to this song. It's amazing how beautifully they put this into words. That's why I love AFI.
Thanks a lot. I think this is the best song on the album, with Miss Murder, and Love Like Winter dead tied for second. I also love 37mm (photography buff).
I had to go check, couldn't contain my curiosity. You're right! Except Adam does it much better. And it's just a much better song and band (AFI, that is.)
Am I the only one trying to figure out if this song is gay because it say's "I'll let you tear it up, if you don't wake me up". THEN "Will the flood behind me put out the fire inside me"? Or am I just thinking outside of the box here?
@Freshkillugh Hunny you are not thinking outside the box is wtf you are thinking 🤔 🙄. Read the lyrics and they are self explanatory lmfao "thinking outside the box" lmfao 🤣 💀
I still can’t believe this wasn’t an all time monster hit. It’s one of the best songs ever written
❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Heard this song today - it’s been maybe a decade since the last time I heard it - the goose bumps - the memories - forever gentlemen
Listening to this in 2022 and I'm thinking this was way underrated. Reminding me of The Killers. Think this album was ahead of its time.
You are literally all my kind of people.
This song does something to me that i literally cant explain.
The whole album does.

Emotion is Pantomime . The opposite of despair embrace hope ! To much reflection leads to Stagnation ! 🖖

Everytime I listen to them my life becomes better.

I can't stop listening to this >.
And what exactly is an "indian bitch"?
Chris Nadeau how randomly rude
This was my mom's old ringtone it started at "but tonight" and ended at "till someone cares"
Your mom? How old am I getting

I can't describe how I love that part.
Hey reading this ten years later! Kick ass fucking part and song!!!
These songs were considered to be pop songs 4 years ago. They haven't lost their specialness like pop songs.
Siete mitici! Amo gli afi *^* e tutte le canzoni che fanno *^*
I'm an old man now and sadly I can say the flood behind me put out the fire inside me

beautiful song
Awesome.
awsome!!
Is it really "we can't repair it"? I think it's more like "we can repair it"... call me naive, but I believe it's: we can
2021, listen toAfis missing frame
4/4?
like every other AFI song, either 4/4 or 6/8 but I can't even think of any 6/8s of the top of my head.
I know what you mean! (and that wasn't meant to sound biased) Thanks!
it is true, if you tear then you can't repair it
This, and Taylor Swift's State of Grace, have the exact same drum intro. This, obviously, came first.
I had to go check, couldn't contain my curiosity. You're right! Except Adam does it much better. And it's just a much better song and band (AFI, that is.)
Agreed!!!
For some reason, when I clicked on this, I thought it was No Poetic Device...I have no idea why.
I used to go "pineapples and wine" to my Barnky. I am not over her. If you are out there please email me.
anyone know what time score this is written in?
Compare the beat in this song to Taylor Swift's "State Of Grace." It's kind of eerie.
If it's over 3 minutes long it ain't A Fire Inside... Ijs when the became mainstream they suffered musically (not lyrically) I love Davey!!!!
❤2024
@cwade2004 ¿porque?
Just thinking outside the box then?
hey, do you own this song?
The whole chorus of this song is one big "that's what she said".
i think abortion or the perils of, but hell if i know what Davey thinks!
evil little buggers that they are
if we put it out, there wont be A Fire Inside anymore xD so sorry no.
Tear her up
Can't repair her
Til someone cares about her despite tearing herself
Now no one cares because she's been tore up by some one else.
Lol
uh.. what?
Am I the only one trying to figure out if this song is gay because it say's "I'll let you tear it up, if you don't wake me up". THEN "Will the flood behind me put out the fire inside me"? Or am I just thinking outside of the box here?
