AFI – This Celluloid Dream

AFI – This Celluloid Dream

“This Celluloid Dream”

Calling tears from deep inside, oh, you’re so exquisite

And in the mirror, all midnight eyes

Oh, if I could remain, but it’s just a visit

All midnight eyes read “vacancy”

Twisted, twisting

To the lovely dancing lights, I begged, “May I cut in?”

But they never stopped playing “their song”

Of a joyous song the sing, I’ve heard whispers

On a freezing note, I resonate

Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end

Just like a memory, it twists me

Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end

Twist… twisting me

You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic

Onto the melting boy, and melt away

You light as gently, you’re so cinematic

Bathed in your radiance, I melt

In the glitter, in the dark, sunk into velvet

Praying this will never end

In the shadow of a star, in static pallor

I realized I never began

Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end

Just like a memory, it twists me

Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end

Twist… twisting me

You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic

Onto the melting boy, and melt away

You light as gently, you’re so cinematic

Bathed in your radiance, I melt

All the colours upon leaving, all will turn to grey

All the colours upon leaving, all will turn to grey

(All grey) All the colours (All grey) upon leaving

(All grey) all will turn to grey

(All grey) All the colours (All grey) upon leaving

(All grey) all will turn to grey… grey…

You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic

Onto the melting boy, and melt away

You light as gently, you’re so cinematic

Bathed in your radiance

You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic

You land as lightly as the new snow, and melt away

You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic

Bathed in your radiance, I melt
