La música alternativa es uno de los estilos musicales más populares a nivel internacional. El rock alternativo fue producido como una alternativa a la música a finales de los 80 y principio de los 90. Siendo en esta última década donde alcanza gran aceptación por parte de los amantes de la música, y esto se debió en gran medida a la colaboración de bandas punk de los años 70 y 80. La baja en popularidad del rock alternativo fue debido a la sobresaturación del mercado causado por los ejecutivos de compañías disqueras quienes solo pensaban en ganar plata.
AFI (A Fire Inside) es una banda estadounidense formada en 1991 por Davey Havok (voz), Markus Stopholese (guitarra), Vic Chalker (bajo) y Adam Carson (batería). Vic Chalker fue reemplazado a los 8 meses por Geoff Kresge antes de sacar EP alguno. Más adelante Geoff sería reemplazado por Hunter Burgan y Mark Stopholese por Jade Puget.
Historia de la banda
Hung in your room, swaying, hoping only that you'll see
All by myself, I'm alone in such poor company
The deeper I think, the deeper I seem to sink
I can't stop the insects that are feeding
Pull the needles from beneath my skin
I broke myself, shattered, tied a bow around every piece
You'll lovely the eyes have they always shown so vacantly?
The more I show the less you'll want to know
I can't stop the insects that are feeding
Pull the needles from beneath my skin
(Now I'm on display)
I am becoming
(Hurt myself today)
It's all for you
(Do you like, do you like)
What I'm becoming?
(Cut myself today)
It's all for you
I part the night, flashing, approaching as I watch you flee
Pushed through your panes seems I've landed quite uncomfortably
But as I pass through souls of broken glass
I can't stop the insects that are feeding
Pull the needles from beneath my skin
(Now I'm on display)
I am becoming
(Hurt myself today)
It's all for you
(Do you like, do you like)
What I'm becoming?
(Cut myself today)
It's all for you
Please don't ask me just what I think, trust me
You don't want to know
Please don't ask me to open up, trust me, trust me
'Cause I can't stop the insects that are feeding
Pull the needles from beneath my skin
(Now I'm on display)
I am becoming
(Hurt myself today)
It's all for you
(Do you like, do you like)
What I'm becoming?
(Cut myself today)
It's all for you
It's all for you
