Death of Seasons
AFI · I Heard A Voice (Live From Long Beach Arena) [2007]
Of late it's harder just to go outside
To leave this deadspace with hatred so alive.
Writhing with sickness, thrown into banality, I decay.
Killed by the weakness, but forced to return.
Turn it off.
I watch the stars as they fall from the sky.
I held a fallen star and it wept for me, dying.
I feel the fallen stars encircle me now, as they cry.
Out there so quickly grows malignant tribes.
Posthuman extinction excels unrecognized.
Feeling surrounded, so bored with mortality, I decay.
All off this hatred is fucking real.
Turn it on.
I watch the stars as they fall from the sky.
I held a fallen star and it wept for me, dying.
I feel the fallen stars encircle me now, as they cry.
It won't be all right despite what they say.
Just watch the stars tonight as they disappear, disintegrate.
And I disintegrate because this hate is fucking real.
And I hope to shade the world as stars go out and I disintegrate.
(It won't be alright
Despite what they say
Just watch the sky
As stars go out)
To leave this deadspace with hatred so alive.
Writhing with sickness, thrown into banality, I decay.
Killed by the weakness, but forced to return.
Turn it off.
I watch the stars as they fall from the sky.
I held a fallen star and it wept for me, dying.
I feel the fallen stars encircle me now, as they cry.
Out there so quickly grows malignant tribes.
Posthuman extinction excels unrecognized.
Feeling surrounded, so bored with mortality, I decay.
All off this hatred is fucking real.
Turn it on.
I watch the stars as they fall from the sky.
I held a fallen star and it wept for me, dying.
I feel the fallen stars encircle me now, as they cry.
It won't be all right despite what they say.
Just watch the stars tonight as they disappear, disintegrate.
And I disintegrate because this hate is fucking real.
And I hope to shade the world as stars go out and I disintegrate.
(It won't be alright
Despite what they say
Just watch the sky
As stars go out)
Death of Seasons
AFI's "Death of Seasons" is a haunting live rendition recorded during their 2007 performance at Long Beach Arena, captured on the album *I Heard A Voice*. The track exemplifies the band's signature blend of post-hardcore and alternative rock, characterized by dynamic shifts between melodic vocals and aggressive instrumentation. As a live recording, it showcases the raw energy and improvisational depth that defined AFI's touring output in the mid-to-late 2000s. The song serves as a powerful testament to the group's ability to transform studio compositions into visceral, high-stakes performances, cementing their reputation as a defining voice in the modern alternative scene.
