AFI - Twisted Tongues Lyrics

AFI Lyrics

"Twisted Tongues"

We watched the world
Turn itself backward
Now, in reverse
You spit out big words
Over a low sun
Undo the undone

You talk in twisted tongues
Of an absolving curse
You talk in twisted tongues
I whisper in reverse

You tore us out
We turned it inward
Upon my mouth
You spat your big words
Over a low sun
Undo the undone

You talk in twisted tongues
Of an absolving curse
You talk in twisted tongues
I whisper in reverse

You ask the moon and stars
Because there's no one else
You ask the moon and stars
I whisper to myself

You talk in twisted tongues
Of an absolving curse
You talk in twisted tongues
I whisper in reverse

You talk in twisted tongues
I whisper in reverse

Vocalist Davey Havok said about this song, "As I recall, 'Twisted Tongues' came of the 'Blood' era and was the first piece of music we explored on the new album. The dreaminess of the music lyrically inspired themes of unforeseen severance. It is a pining song of being set adrift by those who once feigned to share the same anchors."
