[ARG?] Weight of Words

I am really loving this, I'm sorry I just heard about it recently...

As for the DVD, is it just me or does it have a certain resemblance to Girls Not Grey? (by AFI)

I'll lay me down tonight,
Much further down.
Swim in the calm tonight.
This art does drown.

The video is shot in the dead of night, and it definatly has an "art" vibe to it

What follows me as the whitest lace of light,
will swallow whole,
just begs to be imbrued?
What follows has led me to this place where I belong with all erased.

The guy from the video has a flashlight (the whitest lace of light?)
and "what follows has led me to this place" sounds an awfull lot like what's happening in this video

What follows?
All insects sing tonight, the coldest sound.
I'd send Gods grace tonight,
Could it be found?

Again, another refrence to tonight, and it's possible that this guy is looking for something ("could it be found?")

I lay me down tonight,
Much further down.
Watch stars go out tonight.
On sinking ground

Yet another refrence to the light

Also, it's Girls Not Grey (The video is mostly greyish/black & White and occasionaly red)

Also: http://www.girlsnotgrey.com/ is registered to the Despair Faction, the site that does alot of stuff for AFI

secondly, if you felt the original thread was in the wrong place you could ask a mod to move it. double posting to multiple boards is frowned upon.

I agree with the requested Locky!

and the moving of the other thread, but the thread spaceboy's post started, didn't really get anywhere, unlike the other one that jordang started.

hmm...yes, but this thread has all the information, there really is no need to keep the other two (we could always quote some of the things from the other ones, if needed)

Alright, there's a new update!

Some fans on the official message board passed around the theory that the poem on the most recent website meant that there would be something going on at a Bleeding Through show between February 15-27. They thought this because of the importance of the word "blood" on the site, and also that their most recent tour dates follow the pattern of "South to North, West to East."

So a few people attended a show last night in Denver and talked to a merch guy. When asked if he had anything to do with AFI, the merch guy asked "Do you have something for me?," and they gave him a ring. In return, he gave them a button that said "Where Are the Five Flowers?".

Now, if you type this in as an URL, http://www.wherearethefiveflowers.com , it doesn't show anything. However, if you do a whois, it shows that the site exists but is not active, and that it is registered to Interscope!

So, the site should be up soon I guess.

=/ wherearethefiveflowers is NOT up, and it doesn't look like it will be. However, we're questioning a memmber of the OMB named "CLEVELAND" as a real person, and not just a player in this mystery.

Three posts, all short and to the point. Cleveland is where Charlotte is from...

Looks like http://www.wherearethefiveflowers.com really exists, I'll explain why:

First, because the whois feature never, I said NEVER lies...

Second, looks like the site is up now, but it just show the message "wherearethefiveflowers.com staging" written in common font...

Nothing in the source code...

Well, what now?

Whoa, there was a lot more than we've thought about, huh?
(Don't worry, you're NOT going crazy; I just stumbled across this topic, and I want to see if I can follow it to the end.)

ok now its back maybe it's bouncing back and forth? has anyone checked the charlotte number recently? There's an odd recording similar to the one on the videos. Has this always been this way? I only yesterday acquired the number.

Hey, my friend had a good idea to try and understand the "wherearethefiveflowers.com staging" message. Since we know that this is from the band AFI, maybe we should look at how they are staged while performing. We also had an idea about the name "Five Flowers," thinking that it meant the band members, but there's only four, so that doesn't work...
