God Called In Sick Today Lyrics Artist(Band):A.F.I. (AFI)
Murderous filigree I'm caught in the twisting of the vine Go ascend with ivy, climbing Ignore and leave for me The headstone crumbling behind I can't help my laughter as she cries My soul brings tears to angelic eyes Let's amend the classic story Close it so beautifully I'll let animosity unwind Steal away the darkened pages Hidden so shamefully I'll still feel the violence of the lines I can't stand my laughter as they cry My soul brings tears to angelic eyes And miles away my mother cried Omnipotence, nurturing malevolence I can't stand my laughter as they cry My soul brings tears to angelic eyes And miles away my mother cried Omnipotence, nurturing malevolence If you find some error in God Called In Sick Today Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about God Called In Sick Today What the song is about | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/14/2008 Someone named Toni put up a review of what the song is about, but they're making it far too modern, as well as taking it out of the context of the album. God Called in Sick Today is the second part of what is essentially a musical trilogy of At a Glance, GCiST, and the hidden song, and Midnight Sun. They all deal with Christian dogma. At a Glance is from the perspective of Jesus before he is taken by the Romans, when he is praying to God. Jesus sees everything falling apart and knows that his disciples are powerless to help him ("No haven ... hold"). He wonders whether or not he will be remembered by his followers after he dies, or if they will forget him and move on (as was common at that time with messiahs). "Quick to deny that their open to deceit" directly addresses Peter, who said that he would not deny Jesus, but then did. This song, God Called in Sick Today, is while Jesus is on the cross. The first verse is referencing Jesus' role as the final sacrifice. The use of "twisting vine" and "filigree" is a reference to the crown of thorns. A filigree is a type of gold ornament, like what a crown normally is. Then the chorus references Mary and the disciples who are lamenting his death, but Jesus laughs inside because he understands how things have to be and that his death is not the end. The next stanza is about the New Testament. With his death and resurrection, Jesus will amend the Bible and close what is a rather violent, earth bound work with a new ending of hope. "And miles away my mother cried / Omnipotence, nurturing malevolence" is directed right at Mary, and how God the Father is the cause of this pain for his mother, who is so far away because Jesus is passing on. Midnight Sun is the most ambiguous. It is either describing Jesus' descent into Hell, or the role of the Devil as he awaits the rise of an antichrist. Wonderful, Beautiful | Reviewer: Rachel | 1/15/2008 This song is such a pretty song that many people can relate to (including myself). I listen to it whenever I'm feeling frustrated or upset. It's so aleviating. Afi;; Love. | Reviewer: Jeshy! | 12/22/2007 Few people will understand what Davey is screaming even after reading the lyrics. This song is one of their best and I am so happy that they produced this. I listen to it every day. Retards who don't know the song should stop pretending they do. And go get a job, Or go back to school. :] ADD MSN =D God called in sick today | Reviewer: Karl Bailey | 11/25/2007 This song is a piece of musical genious! The song talks so much of truth in religous problems and reaches out to so many people! It brings a tear to the eyes of people who listen to words and not just the song. for the guy who asked what it means! | Reviewer: Toni | 11/14/2007 This song is a perfect example of a poem that was never meant to be sung, its really raw and straight to the point,poets and other REAL musicians will get this song right away, others it will take a while longer to figure out, its basicly the writters feelings towards god and how he seems to call in sick every time you need him. When the song says: "Omnipotence, nurturing malevolence" meaning ultimate good and power nurturing evil. the whole verse: "Let's amend the classic story Close it so beautifully I'll let animosity unwind Steal away the darkened pages Hidden so shamefully I'll still feel the violence of the lies" talks about the bible and how its full of lies, now he settled that he believes in god but not the bible because god didnt writte the bible, and neither did jesus christ. First line: "Lets amend...." means lets change the bible and real truth, second line: "Close it..." means writte a happy ending third line "I'll let animosity...." means let hatred unwind fourth line: "steal away..." means what it says, basicly hide the bloody passages that the men who wrotte the bible discarted,or in his view the truth of what jesus was, is, and what he really did during his time on earth. Fith line "I'll still feel..." means , and thanks to the lies put into the bible still to this day we have violence and hatred because of it, like the on going hate between muslims and christians etc. You see? this song is pure genius, one of the few afi i really enjoy. How do i know what it means? im a theologist(study of religion), punk rock musician,and song/poem analizer. so if you have any more questions abot this or any other song really, contact me on the Space. www.myspace.com/elfdemon Later, and rock on! yeah its ok | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/29/2007 i like the song, it has a good beat to it although i had to look up the lyrics to find out what Davey was screaming, and what is it even about? Perfection | Reviewer: Mikayla Renee | 6/17/2007 Ah. To write a novel about this one song would not be giving it the amount of credit it deserves. Everytime I hear this song, I want to cry. It's so beautiful. Davey could not pick a better song to headwalk to.<3333 *speechless* | Reviewer: xMichelexMassacrex | 6/13/2007 I will put this as short and simply as I can considering I can not even begin to explain this song. All I can manage is that this song is SO beautiful. My favorite part is right before the song turns heavier when davey sings, in his god like voice(understatement), "the headstone crumbling behind". But that's just me. Hit me up on the Space! ~*MicheleMassacre*~ Yeppers | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/9/2007 Hey, what can I say, but my soul bring tears to angelic eyes. AFI rocks, and if you disagree then you need the murderous filigree mentioned in this song. Not that I would know, but hey I think to understand; Catch me on OD http:www./myspace.com/this_side_of_paradise.com Or whatever the link is I am tired sleep being the only cure to 50 hours in 4 days. Happy me. . . Go me, in case that don't work go you. Awesome song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/23/2007 This is an awesome song and it really means a lot.
