AFK Lyrics

Performed by Pinback

We're too late, we're too late
Release the rigging

No one uses the phone anymore
The tracks are wrecked and the odometer's ticking
The edge is pushed and the lines are melting
Too scared to look at what I hear outside
Release

We're too late

Protect, embrace, engulf
Remember the summer in Abaddon
Protect, enslave, in love
Remember the summer in Abaddon

Way offsides and I'm almost empty
I'm cracked and stripped like a domino's crush
Send a tell if you're ever near me
I'm A.F.K and I can't get by
Release me

This vessel's underway
Secure the rigging, we're headed south
Tack the sails, man the posts
We're headed south into the wind

Protect, embrace, engulf
Remember the summer in Abaddon
Protect, enslave, in love
Remember the summer in Abaddon

(We're too late)

Protect, embrace, engulf
Remember, the summer, in Abaddon
Protect, enslave, in love
Remember, the summer, in Abaddon

No one hears you fall to the floor
The mirror's broke and the newtonian's clicking
The finds are pressed and the veins are pumping
Too far gone to do more than breathe
Release me

This vessels underway
Headed south

Miles and miles of telephone poles
Fallen and tossed around
I can't talk to you anymore
And I miss you
And I miss you
Not in a Slint way, but I miss you

Seldom to touch far away from here
Even if I'm released
I can't talk to you anymore
And I miss you
And I miss you
Not in a Slint way, but I miss you

Great Song | Reviewer: Scott | 3/17/2008

I have to agree with you Ryan- this a great song to close out Summer in Abbadon. Also, I think I enjoy it so much because it is a very up-tempo song for Pinback which you don't find from them. Lastly, the correct lyric is "not in a Slint way, but I miss you...". Slint was an older band on the same label as Pinback, and in their song "Good Morning, Captain" the lead singer starts yelling "I Miss You!"

Great song | Reviewer: Ryan | 6/15/2007

AFK is the last song on their Summer in Abbadon album and what a way to close out a great disc. AFK mixes fast tempo beats (rare for Pinback) with beatiful harmonies that will have you humming along in no time. The last 45 seconds of this song are truly beautiful and worth a listen over and over again.
