"You don’t know who I am so,
You cannot get close to me,
And I don’t know who you are,
So just leave me alone.
I know you can’t believe
The anxiety you’re causing me,
And I know you can’t believe
Your fake compassion I don’t need.
Get away from me,
You’re standing too close.
Keep your hands off of me.
Keep away from me,
Just leave me alone,
Who said you could touch me anyway?
Don’t try to rub my shoulders,
And don’t try to hold my hand.
Don’t try to give me a fucking hug.
You crawl on me as if I were your very best of friends.
I don’t even know your name.
Get away from me,
You’re standing too close.
Keep your hands off of me.
Keep away from me,
Just leave me alone,
Who said you could touch me anyway?
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8!"
-AFI - Who Said You Could Touch Me?
- why I will never hate AFI. ever.
We are the ones with the radiating eyes.
We are the ones who have a fire inside.
We are the ones only we can recognize.
We’ve been rejected (we’ve been rejected) -
Suffered the ignorance, suffered the selfishness,
Been pushed so far down now comes our time to surface.
Turn from the light, that made them all go blind.
We’ve been protected (we’ve been protected)
ALL ARISE TO WHAT WE BRING,
OUTSTRETCHED HANDS, UNFOLDED WINGS.
We’ve hurt ourselves, and I feel the sting of
broken hearts and burning wings…
AFI - Keeping Out Of Direct Sunlight (An Introduction)
My dear, there is no danger. Can’t you see they turn blind eyes to we swift and spotlit strangers?

What was the first song you ever heard by 1?
Girl’s Not Grey, oh poo on me.
What is your favorite song of 7?
Shoreline.
What kind of impact has 1 left on your life?
The impact is maybe not as noticeable as when A-F compelled me to be more politically aware, or how CB get me through many days and give me PMA. It’s mostly little things like making friends, finding beauty in certain things, having a certain attitude and believing in a healthy lifestyle [this might be a recurring theme in many of my favourite bands, excluding a few] and accepting change. And I cannot forget about DXH-Day of course. Very important. ;D
What are your favorite lyrics of 5?
I cannot pick. I love ALL the lyrics. But these are pretty legit:
“The greatest thing you’ve ever done, is made yourself truly happy
Not doing it for anyone
It’s your life to live as you choose
The greatest thing you’ve ever done
And the greatest thing you’ve ever done
Lived your life and never felt regret
Lived your life, not quitting yet
Without a set of goals, where no agenda lies
Just a followed heart and don’t apologize
It’s the greatest thing when you realize”
- Harem of Scorpions
How many times have you seen 4 live?
Three, surprisingly little, times.
What is your favorite song by 6?
Forever Fades Away.
Is there a song by 3 that makes you sad?
The American Scream comes to mind, even though a lot of their repertoire isn’t very happy, it doesn’t make me sad necessarily.
What is your favorite song by 2?
Acghghfjghfdkjj how is this a question? I cannot pick. If I have to pick, I will pick This Is The End, for vague reasons. No…, I pick the whole of The Terror State and the whole of For Blood And Empire and an extra Die For The Government just because that is always such a good moment live [as The Modern Rome Burning is too].
When did you first get into 5?
When I saw them with Alexisonfire in 2005. Was hooked after seeing them live, bought the CD, saw them again the next day, the rest is history.
How did you get into 3?
Private Eye was on a Kerrang! compilation CD that I bought back in the early 2000s. For a very long time, Private Eye and We’ve Had Enough were the only songs that I knew. Then of course in ‘05 I met Muffin and I got more and more into them. Two years ago during my loner tour of Éire they were my soundtrack of choice and from then I didn’t really stop listening anymore. Now since Damnesia I’ve been on a giant kick. Funny how things work.
What is your favourite song by 4?
It’s a tie between Heart Attack and Angels With Dirty Faces.
What is a good memory concerning 2?
I have so many great memories! But finally getting to talk to them after seeing them live for 11 times, is very high on my list.
Is there a song by 2 that makes you sad?
Again, not really, but If You Wanna Steal (You Better Learn How to Lie) is not a very happy song.
What is your favourite song of 3?
There is definitely a tie between Radio, Calling All Skeletons, This Could Be Love and Mercy Me, but then again, so many good songs! Aahh.
What song isn’t your favourite of 7?
Some of their demos aren’t so amazing, but I don’t have any songs that I hate.
Poor Adam all the way in the back by himself. It’s like they’re gossiping about him.
