AFI - Morningstar Lyrics






I saw a star beneath the stairs glowing through the melting walls.
Who will be the first to begin their fall?
Or will we become one?

Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I a ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?

I saw a star beneath the stairs glowing bright before descent
and in the morning there is nothing left but what's inside of me.

Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I a ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?

Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I a ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?

And I don't want to die tonight; Will you believe in me?
And I don't want to fall into the light.

Will you wish upon?
Will you walk upon me?
I don't want to die tonight.


Will you believe in me tonight.

Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I a ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?

Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I a ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?

  6. c.... m....

    this song is about satan

  7. R.... V....

    This brings me back...

  8. M.... R....

    Nothing sounds better

  9. M.... ....

    This song even makes sense with homophones - "Mourningstar" and "Am I the star beneath the stares?"

  10. C.... B....

    Classic song from a great band. For all you youngin's out there. If you like this song, check out the above; and also NOFX, Misfits, The Clash. Id suggest more bands, but its 4:30am and I'm drunk af. enjoy.

  11. O.... S....

    man thought it was "the stars beneath the stars"
    ,,,, still about lucifer....right? someone help!

  12. J.... H....

    "... beneath the stairs/stares ..."

  13. A.... B....

    i beleive hes speaking of lucifer the morning star ...up the punks for ever even now it brings a tear to my oldend eyes...dre

  14. I.... M....

    When I was 13 a boy gave me this CD.. I fell in love with both.

    I.... M....

    Same.. 32 now and still listening 💙

    I.... M....

    Hopefully he treated you right becuase your fuckin bueatiful and im sure you hear that all the time but i couldn't help myself and I'm sorry for that.

  16. R.... B....

    I've seen them live twice and this song is just so god damn good live

  17. k.... c....

    I love this song

  18. M.... ....

    This song just hits me like a train. I'm 30 now, quite accomplished man I thought but this song just made me realized I'm only the shadow of what I once was. As a teenager, emotions are so fucking real, love means the world and friendship is the priority. Now, it's all gone.

    M.... ....

    MathMith well said my man

    M.... ....

    I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND HOW THAT WOULD SUCK BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE GONE MAYBE IT WAS JUST ON BREAK AND MAYBE ITS TIME TO FEEL ALIVE AND THOSE EMOTIONS TO BE AS REAL AS THE AIR YOU BREATHE IT JUST ABOUT FINDING THE FIRE INSIDE AGAIN

    M.... ....

    Doesnt getting older and wiser suck?

    Odd how it brings us back to the music of our youth ... It was right then. Its right now.

    M.... ....

    Its weird how true it is:/

    M.... ....

    Same, drifted away from all my friends. All I have is my work anymore. But like Tony Cole says, you just have to find it again. The music is a good start.

  19. L.... L....

    Bravo! 👏🏽

  20. G.... T....

    Holy Fuck! i hope you all slit your wrists, you pathetic emo fuck tards. AFI is a joke just like all your hair and tear drop tattoos. grow up.

  21. K.... E....

    Классная песенка !

  22. J.... S....

    When those drums kick in. Oh gawd.

  23. D.... L....

    Fuckin aye I wish it was like 10 minutes of that last part of this rockin fucking song!!!!! wow!!!

  24. D.... L....

    I totally dig the last 3rd of this song where he starts cranking. up. I think that they an awesome ass band!! this is an all time textbook example of what Rock n Roll is supposed be!! For Real!!!! oh and their guitar player should be in the Rock n Roll hall of fame. I guess they would all deserve to be in it! thats

    D.... L....

    that's just my opinion!!!

  25. s.... g....

    oh Jr high listening to this miss those days

  26. e.... 1....

    OMG this song takes me back to my depression. Those were tough times but I pulled through :) I remember listening to this back then.

    e.... 1....

    Glad to hear you pulled through, I wish you the best

  27. R.... C....

    2017 and still I love this song it's always difficult to understand what he is saying in the song but to me I think it's about being lonely and seeing a spiritual self of him that no one can see that he wants to know am I the star beneath the stairs as in is that a spiritual part of himself that he sees that is lost at different parts of time of his life I'm I the ghost upon the sage is that himself the star he sees upon the stage I'm I your anything will he find true happiness in lifetime will he not be lonely just my thoughts of how the lyrics should be

  28. D.... S....

    Lucifer!!!!

  29. J.... P....

    am I your anything?

  30. K.... S....

    Morning Star is my Chippewa name given to me by my grandma

    K.... S....

    Kara Soholt hi! What's Chippewa?

    K.... S....

    My name was, "evil white man"

  31. R.... P....

    Love all AFI. The entire fucking catalog. Too old to be all like "They sold out." Lmao I laugh when I hear people say that now. And, I love when people show up at their shows thinking they're going to do all new songs and they bust out their old shit. Some of the noobs don't even know the lyrics. It's all good though. What a band.

  32. C.... I....

    So I just watched Alice Through the Looking Glass.. When Mad Hatter is literally dying and Alice storms in and brings him back to life just by believing in him .. I thought oh holy fuck.. if Morningstar starts playing I'm going to lose it..

  33. D.... R....

    when I was a freshmen in highschool I met this girl I sat next to her and she showed me this album. she was about to graduate she was so nice. anyway in the middle of the year she died and this song always reminds me of her.

    D.... R....

    Oh shit. How did she die?

    D.... R....

    So sory Man. Now she's in your head💜

  34. S.... D....

    N.... R....

    N.... R....

    N.... R....

    Amen brotha

  40. D.... D....

    D.... B....

    You're a clown

    D.... B....

    I’m sorry, I think you have the wrong video. This is AFI. Maybe check the 90’s Music Mix channel if you’re looking for songs by Garbage??

  46. A.... L....

    morning 🌟 star = lucifer???

    A.... L....

    No he is referring to himself basically asking him if hes the star beneath the stairs almost he saw a Vision of himself

    A.... L....

    Riot Chords it's a Antichrist spirit

    A.... L....

    You have to look deeper then that I don't believe it has anything to do with satanism

    A.... L....

    Andrea Laporte Jesus Christ too

    A.... L....

    It has Nothing to do with Satan

  47. J.... G....

    Fuck I know right? pretty much the only time I miss being a teenager

    E.... K....

    Elliott Knighves 😔😭😢

  53. f.... d....

    this is not close to their best work. so sick of seeing people say this is one of their 'best songs'. you youngings need to go back in time and see who afi used to be. try something off of 'shut your mouth and open your eyes' or 'answer that and stay fashionable', or 'very proud of ya', hell even 'the art of drowning'. those are REAL afi at their best.

    f.... d....

    frederick dempsey people can have opinions

    f.... d....

    frederick dempsey yea man I've always known about AFI but I've only knew like 3 of their songs but this song is truly a very good song!!!

    f.... d....

    I agree very proud of ya was a damn good CD and yes when they first came out they were fast an hard and it was fuckin awesome!! And still like them after all these yrs!

    f.... d....

    classic gatekeeping idiot

    f.... d....

    Uhm... this IS the art of drowning...

  54. O.... F....

    oh god i haven't heard 50% AFI songs, that's awesome !

    O.... F....

    listen afi the afi

  55. T.... ....

    I used to listen to this song back in highschool.  I can't believe its been a few years since then.  Seems like it was last week at times.

    T.... ....

    I used to listen to this song in middle school and I'm 24 now. It still feels like it was just last week at times

    T.... ....

    +Shaun Thompson I'm 30 now still trippin on these songs I heard when I was 14. Listen to third eye blind sometime and trip out! lol

    T.... ....

    Feels weird going back to the songs you constantly listened to as a young age and then hearing them after years. Haha. I'm like 'wait..what the fuck is happening to me?' But I noticed that I'm just getting slapped in the face with nostalgic memories xD them feels

  56. F.... ....

    Actually miss murder got me out of afi but ok :)

  57. F.... G....

    well the people who liked that music from that period, I would think.

  58. J.... T....

    He was being sarcastic. ._ .

  59. e.... ....

    Personally I think their musical evolution has less to do with 'the times' and more to do with their personal growth as artists. They have grown, and changed. They are not a bunch of teens anymore - they have matured and so has their music. What I like about AFI most is exactly that diversity. I know if I am in a certain mood I can pick up one of their albums and it fits my mood. The next day, a different mood, and a different album. AFI is always growing, and that's why they are so good.

    e.... ....

    Well said.

  60. T.... ....

    It's all in opinion. But instead of saying it's shit, why not say "I never liked it."? You get your point across without insulting anyone's tastes.

  61. x.... ....

    Never understood this argument. If you like a certain genre like punk then you're not just going to stop liking it all of a sudden because 'the times change'. AFI hasn't just changed they've gotten considerably worse as time has gone on. People consistently complain about them for a reason.

  62. C.... ....

    Miss Murder is what got me into AFI, I like that song

  63. S.... B....

    FINALLY ! SOMEONE SAID IT :)

  64. M.... L....

    I wish people were kinder to each other, despite any difference of opinion
    ,,,I think that would be beautiful.

    We ALL wish to feel significant... that's why everyone relates to this song so well... and it's so ironic that if we just saw that in one another, we wouldn't feel so alienated or hostile...

    I'm just like you.

  65. M.... W....

    God, AFI is amazing. New album September 2013!!3

    M.... W....

    Megan Weimer new E.P. December 7th, I think. 2018 😂😂😂

  66. C.... ....

    It isn't. Most of that album is though.

  67. A.... M....

    Yeah cause miss murder is a good song?

  68. C.... ....

    you mean their music used to be fairly shit and gradually got more progressive/better ;)

  69. m.... ....

    ???????????

  70. m.... ....

    still one of my favourite songs

  71. R.... R....

    This song and album or from like 2000! lol I was listening to A FIRE INSIDE/ ANOTHER FUXKING IDIOT since high school! EAST BAY HARDCORE!!

  72. C.... V....

    haha seems awesome :D ok why not :)

  73. j.... a....

  76. j.... a....

    I LOVE your eyes.... Can I have them?!

  77. C.... V....

    yes you shouldnt talk to random people on the internet...

  78. j.... a....

    You shouldn't be meeting random people in the internet. Despite their taste in music

  79. C.... V....

    haha nice xD

  80. S.... L....

    You need to, I would def marry an AFI fan.

  81. C.... V....

    haha..dont even remember her name

  82. S.... L....

    Marry that girl.

  83. S.... L....

    HE SAID WHO WANTS TO FUCKING TOUCH HIM!

  84. D.... D....

    song came out around 2000 so do the math. I remember all my friends said the band was changing for the worse. It took a few listens to get over the fact this Album is not " shut your mouth and open your eyes".

  85. P.... R....

    Why is it that EVERY White country is forced to be multicultural/multiracial?
    Why is it that EVERY White country is told to end its own race/culture?

    No one asks that of -ANY- non-White country.
    Immigration/assimilation is FORCED upon ONLY White countries
    Anti-Whites call themselves “anti-racists” but their actions lead to the elimination of only one race, the White race.
    The purpose of “anti-racism” is to genocide White children.
    "Anti-racist" is just a code for anti-White

    watch?v=lKDeyuM0-Og

    P.... R....

    you are a god damn lunatic

  86. C.... V....

    xD i met a random girl online and she intruced this song to me and now i love it

  90. L.... 3....

    Never found myself listening to this on a cold Chicago morning while the sun rises... It almost synchronized with the moment. Bands change, but I do miss this old AFI. Lol, and they've been around since I was born, and 4 years old when Answer That and Stay Fashionable came out. Who'da thought?

  91. O.... ....
