interesting discussion here.

i too adore the music of AFI. but i stopped listening to this band a couple of years ago because of most of their lyrics (and cuz of an association with some person..). i may sound like a wussy but i just can not take a band serious when i dislike/disagree their lyrics. this May be seen as my own personal opinion, but i see it like this: what if God asks you to play your favourite music for Him? ...i think you'd disappoint him with lyrics about "dark things"..

ps: i wish AFI would've had more positive lyrics. they'd be one of my bigtime favo's by now..

peace

i don't mind the dark lyrics. When I have difficult days, it's what I need. but hmmm...interesting point.
but yeah, i don't like positive lyrics on some days. like my favorite band is our lady peace, because their lyrics are so motivational for me. but there are days when their words annoy me. hehe

I've been listening to afi for a while now what I want to know is if their intentions of their their lyrics are infact written to reflect their Christianity.
I love their songs I just want toknow what is their concept of their writting and songs. Do any of you afi fans have an answer to my question? :help:
Is afi really a christian band?

I'm very interested in the "faith" of AFI... There are some songs in which I think they might just be Christian-- and others I don't.
Please excuse the length of this post, but I'd like to show some lyrics to Silver and Cold.
I... I came here by day, but I left here in darkness
And found you, found you on the way
And now, it is silver and silent, it is silver and cold
You, in somber resplendence, I hold

(Chorus)
Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
(Your sins into me) Your sins into...
(Your sins into me) Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one

Light, like the flutter of wings, feel your hollow voice rushing into me
As you're longing to sing
So I... I will paint you in silver, I will wrap you in cold
I will lift up your voice as I sink

Repeat

Cold in life's throws, I'll fall asleep for you
Cold in life's throws, I only ask you turn away
Cold in life's throws, I'll fall asleep for you
Cold in life's throws, I only ask you turn
As they seep... into me, oh, my beautiful one, now
