- The Killing Lights Lyrics / with translationsOh. [infamous davey "oh"]
Five A.M. on the bathroom floor from the night before.
Do you find me dreadful?
What a shame such a sad disgrace,
Such a pretty face,
But she's not regretful.
Am I beautiful?
Am I usable?
It's killing time again.
Put on your face and let's pretend,
These killing lights won't kill us all again.
Three A.M. on the city street,
When the air is sweet,
I've had my mouth full.
But it seems that outside the screen
Such a pretty face often will look dreadful.
Am I beautiful?
Am I usable?
It's killing time again.
Put on your face and let's pretend,
These killing lights won't kill us all again.
It's killing time again.
Cover your face and we'll pretend,
These killing lights can't kill us all again.
You see, they always remember.
They never forget a face.
When they cut cut cut cut cut cut cut you up,
Cut cut cut cut cut they remember.
Cut cut cut cut cut cut cut you up.
Cut you uppppppppp.
It's killing time again.
Put on your face and let's pretend,
These killing lights won't kill us all again.
It's killing time again.
Cover your face and we'll pretend,
These killing lights can't kill us all again.
All again.
All again.
It's time again.
It's killing time...
Five A.M. on the bathroom floor from the night before.
Do you find me dreadful?
What a shame such a sad disgrace,
Such a pretty face,
But she's not regretful.
Am I beautiful?
Am I usable?
It's killing time again.
Put on your face and let's pretend,
These killing lights won't kill us all again.
Three A.M. on the city street,
When the air is sweet,
I've had my mouth full.
But it seems that outside the screen
Such a pretty face often will look dreadful.
Am I beautiful?
Am I usable?
It's killing time again.
Put on your face and let's pretend,
These killing lights won't kill us all again.
Cover your face and we'll pretend,
These killing lights can't kill us all again.
You see, they always remember.
They never forget a face.
When they cut cut cut cut cut cut cut you up,
Cut cut cut cut cut they remember.
Cut cut cut cut cut cut cut you up.
Cut you uppppppppp.
It's killing time again.
Put on your face and let's pretend,
These killing lights won't kill us all again.
It's killing time again.
Cover your face and we'll pretend,
These killing lights can't kill us all again.
All again.
All again.
It's time again.
It's killing time...

When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, the AFI's 'The Killing Lights' song addresses the topic of social demand to abide by beauty norms and appear perfect, even if one is feeling unfortunate inside. Through metaphorical lyrics, the artist shows the plight of holding a fake identity under the 'killing lights' that may bring out one's weaknesses and imperfections, thus pointing to the tiring loop of acting and the degree to which it interferes with one's identity. The killing lights lyrics mainly brings forth angst, despair, reflection, social commentary, and heartbreak. However, at the same time, the song highlights the role of self-image and beauty, the process of deceiving, the facade, struggle, and pain.
