Synthesia (Demo Version)

AFI · Other Songs - AFI

Heartbreak, incarnate,

I'm nothing if not your memories.

Heartbreak please let me be,

Enjoying your pain.



Someday, I will be

I'll be the common voice for community

Because I am a man who'll forever be

Below you as you fail.



Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow

Letters of past look distant and wrinkled

Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow

Letters of past so distant and wrinkled



Just say (Say you will) follow me (follow me)

Invite me to your memory

Just sing (Sing again) for me (for me)

That long forgotten song.



Heartbreak, incarnate,

I'm nothing if not your memories.

Heartbreak please let me be

Enjoying your pain.



Someday, I will be

I'll be that what you want from a failing dream

Because I may, I may at best,

Be as low as you feel.



Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow

Letters of past look distant and wrinkled

Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow

Letters of past so distant and wrinkled



Just say (Say you will) follow me (follow me)

Invite me to your memory

Just sing (Sing again) for me (for me)

That long forgotten song.



Just say (Say you will) follow me (follow me)

Invite me to your memory

Just sing (Sing again) for me (for me)

That long forgotten song.



Let me be all the words

Let me be all the words

Let me be all the words

Let me be all the words



Let me be all the words, echo in comfort

Let me be all the words that you'd unsay

Let me be all the words, echo in comfort, comfort, comfort, comfort

Let me be all the words that you'd unsay, unsay, unsay, unsay... Oh!



Let me be all the words, echo in comfort

Let me be all the words that you'd unsay

Let me be all the words echo in comfort, comfort, ...comfort

Let me be all the words that you'd unsay, unsay, unsay, unsay...

Synthesia (Demo Version)

AFI's "Synthesia" stands as a pivotal early recording that helped define the band's signature post-hardcore and alternative metal sound. Released prior to their major label debut, this demo version showcases the group's raw energy and complex songwriting structures that would become hallmarks of their discography. The track features the band's characteristic interplay between heavy riffs and melodic vocals, establishing a template for their later work on albums like "Sing the Sorrow" and "Hypercubism." As a foundational piece in their catalogue, it captures the transitional period where AFI evolved from a punk-influenced act into a more polished, genre-defining force in the mid-to-late 1990s alternative rock scene.
