End Transmission

AFI · Crash Love [2009]

Pull the top down, use your knees to drive.

I'll make it worth your while just let me taste the sky.

You pressed your mouth on mine and fed me a star

then said "we never can truly know who we are."

know who we are.



With the lights out and the night inside

the broken radio was playing suicide.

I felt myself falling.

I confessed to you "I saw a body."

You said you'd seen a few.



This night has only just begun.

If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.

We'll burn to best the morning's son.

Go grab your bag I'll bring the gun, the gun.



Keep the top down use your knees to drive.

I'll hide these words. They're only yours to find.

You pressed your mouth on mine and said they'd call us stars.

You said "we never can truly know who we are."



This night has only just begun.

If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.

We'll burn to best the morning's son.

Go grab your bag I'll bring the gun, the gun.



Everything was burning bright.

Everyone was frightened.

You said stay strong.

Everybody knowing that what we'd invited

still remains when we're gone.



This night has only just begun.

If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.

We'll burn to best the morning's son.

Go grab your bag I'll bring the gun, oh.



This night has only just begun.

If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.

We'll burn to best the morning's son.

Go grab your bag I'll bring the gun, the gun.

I'll bring the gun

Oh...

End Transmission

AFI's "End Transmission" appears on the 2009 album Crash Love, marking a significant shift in the band's sound toward a more polished, alternative rock direction. Released during a period where the group sought to balance their signature grunge roots with modern production values, the track exemplifies the atmospheric and melodic qualities that defined their later discography. The song features layered vocals and a driving rhythm that reflects the band's evolution from their early chaotic energy to a more refined, emotionally resonant style. As part of Crash Love, the recording stands as a testament to AFI's ability to adapt while maintaining their distinct identity in the alternative rock landscape of the late 2000s.
