AFI - 6 To 8 Lyrics






Six figures enter; they've come to destroy the world.
They've called together this storm almost every night.
I awake in another place.
A familiar voice with a stranger's face speaks more unheard words.
What new friends will the day bring?
One for one thousand acquainted.
What new home will the night bring?
When it all comes down you just throw the bones.
On the way I saw five hours of sleep but your fire makes it all worth while.
On the way I wrote words for you to keep.
On the way, I saw myself.
Lost myself along the way.

    Six figures enter
    They've come to destroy the world
    They've called together
    This storm almost every night

    And I awake in another place
    A familiar voice with a stranger's face speaks
    I awake in another place
    More unheard words

    What new friends will the day bring?
    One for one thousand acquainted
    What new hope will the night bring?
    When it all comes down you just throw the bones

    On the way, I saw five hours of sleep
    On the way, but your fire makes it all worth while
    On the way, I wrote words for you to keep
    On the way

    What new friends will the day bring?
    One for one thousand acquainted
    What new hope will the night bring?
    When it all comes down you just throw the bones

    On the way, I saw five hours of sleep
    On the way, but your fire makes it all worth while
    On the way, I wrote words for you to keep
    On the way

    I saw myself
    Lost myself along the way
    And you were by me

    On the way, I saw five hours of sleep
    On the way, but your fire makes it all worth while
    On the way, I wrote words for you to keep
    On the way

  8. p.... ....

    Talk about getting the chills. <3 AFI.

  9. j.... 9....

    they played this song live lastnight in Vegas \m/

  10. D.... G....

    First listen. Feeling this one.

  11. I.... D....

    This is part of the beauty of this song IMO. While it was written about the beauty of touring and putting their blood, sweat and tears into what satisfies their fans in return for their admiration, it means something rather different to me - something difficult to explain. It's almost spiritual to me.

    I.... D....

    Little Green Gamer I agree with you. This song and their song "God called in sick today ", both do that. When I listen to this song , it's like it takes me to a place of reflection. I tend to think about the near misses and joys in my life. Hope that makes sense. Of all the replies I've seen on here, I like yours the best. You seemed to have absorbed the song as apposed to commenting on the things of the surface, as many tend to do. I am nobody, but rather a kindred soul, so I hope you retain the ability to absorb a great song and it's meaning to you rather than what the world deems as it's value. Take care.

  12. R.... R....

    my shit !

  13. L.... ....

    My favourite AFI song I think. Or Dancing through Sunday.

  14. a.... ....

    I saw myself lost myself along the way and you were by me.

  15. V.... ....

    My personal favorite off of Art of Drowning. I don't care as much for the first half, but from here till the end this album is just beautiful.

    V.... ....

    Dude, get outta my brain. Lol I always only played from this song to the end when I owned the cd after listening to the whole thing a few times. I love AFI in all of their stages of evolution :B

  16. T.... V....

    Straight edge living !

    T.... V....

    its not living lol your missing out

  17. D.... S....

    Jade messed the intro up when I saw them live lmao. 

  18. T.... E....

    I wanted to see this live, but then they played Ever and a Day and it was beautiful.

  19. A.... G....

    Coward surfing? hahahaha
    Crowd surfing, right?

    A.... G....

    Either way...?

  20. J.... ....

    Going to see them live right now

  21. N.... A....

    Gotta see them live again this is that one song I must see live.

  22. c.... H....

    Djmirage3... Same here man lol

  23. R.... ....

    nice try

  24. R.... ....

    amen good friend

  25. O.... M....

    i love this song in october

    O.... M....

    yeah, something about their music fits october, walking around with headphones and naked trees

  26. A.... ....

    Slenderman pops into my mind when this song plays.

  27. a.... ....

    i had a song stuck in my head that i knew ive herd before years ago i had no idea what it was and i found it

  28. j.... s....

    i like potatoes

  29. A.... ....

    I wish I had a little sister to hear this with.

  30. A.... ....

    This song is soothing. It helps me sleep at night.

  31. E.... M....

    THUMBS UP FOR AFI..........

  32. C.... ....

    The guitars sing a song of their own. It's amazing, this isn't a complex song at all musically, but the feeling it has, and the emotion it brings is. What an amazing band they were, are, and always will be.

    C.... ....

    CthulhuDarkLord ALL THE WAY IN.

    C.... ....

    I really appreciate you for this comment. There is no question how amazing and beautiful Jade's body of work is. There is no need to show off in it and radiates pure love and honesty and emotion.

  33. A.... E....

    I'm ashamed that i haven't seen them live.

  34. D.... ....

    I feel like a kid again without a problem in the world

  35. C.... ....

    "Your fire makes it all worth while!" Proof that they love their fans! There's more to being a musician than just being worshiped. Long road trips, lots of hard work, a lot of pressure, but that line is how EVERY great musician must feel. It's a lot of work but to hear all of those fans screaming for you because you touched their soul in some way should be EVERY musicians dream. Not money, not worship for the sake of worship but to know that you affected someone in some way.

  36. t.... ....

    @iamdead69 i don't get it

  37. r.... ....

    @Dr490n I know opinions like yours are somewhat common amongst the older contigent of AFI fans, but no. I emphatically disagreed with this notion in 2006, in 2009, and still do.

    But whatever, 6 to 8 is an awesome song and I'm sure we can agree on that.

  38. S.... ....

    Stewie from family guy recorded this song.

  39. A.... H....

    In my perspective,there is no "old" AFI or "new" AFI.
    AFI is AFI.

  40. R.... ....

    This is one of the songs that make me miss the old afi more then everrrrr.....but always a fan. <3

  41. J.... M....

    @hiu121 You shouldn't be a coward about "crowd" surfing!! Haha.

  42. J.... M....

    @hiu121 That must have been awesome...I've only seen them once (warped tour 2001) but I didn't really know at the time that they would be one of my favorite bands.

  43. J.... M....

    @Stu1570 Sometimes I wish this whole album was recorded more like Black Sails or All Hallow's. (punchier bass drum) It's really good though.

  44. M.... ....

    reminds me how i had to move every couple years people it was rough, but im glad i found this band for many reasons.

  45. s.... ....

    This song is amazing

  46. e.... ....

    By far, my favorite AFI song of all time. And I'm a fan of both old & new AFI.

  47. A.... ....

    Perfection.

  48. s.... ....

    i met davey, and all i could say was "you're so amazing!"
    he said thank you!! haha

  49. G.... T....

    When it all comes down you just throw the bones!

  50. Z.... V....

    @hiu121 i caught davey when he stage dived then i got crushed and suffocated by fans surging towards him

  51. C.... T....

    @hiu121 gay ass band. im from minnesota u like this shit?

  52. q.... ....

    Makes me shudder. After all these years. Reminds me of how good life once was.

  53. Z.... V....

  54. t.... ....
