AFI: Miss Murder Meaning
Song Released: 2006
Miss Murder Lyrics
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh
With just a look they shook
And heavens bowed before him.
Simply a look can break your heart.
The stars that pierce the sky;
He left them...

Sounds like the standard alt-rock anti-religious thing, especially the lyrics in the bridge. The only thing that doesn't fit is the chorus, which I'm guessing is just a pop hook. Read the lyrics, it's pretty obvious.

I agree with the hitler theory.
"With just a look they shook" when the jews even heard a mention of hitler they wer terrified of being murdered,
"And heavens bowed before him." and all the countries bowed before him as he took over, think about it.
"The stars that pierce the sky" that's the bombs that shook the world during the war.
"He left them all behind. We’re left to wonder why He left us all behind." when he was killed there was no body found, so his follower wondered y he just left them, commited suicide.
"Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
Take my life?" hitler prolly thought that by killing himself the world would remain caotic, just like he liked it.
"Dreams of his crash won’t pass" the world will never forget what he did
"Or how they all adored him." at first most people did adore htler, before he really started killing the jews people thought that he was on tha right track
"And how his children cry" he made so many jews terrified to even leave a room, ruined so many lives and I justy can't imagine all tha tears that fell from the eyes of so many
yea well I think I have explained enough but just think about it ppl. o yea.....my name is SELINA -
I think it talks about the denial of religion being authentic and how Jesus supposedly left human kind behind, and how "heavens bowed before him" and "how they all adored him", we're "empty set just floating trought, wrapped in skin" refers to humans as souless and no eternal life "ever searching for what we were promised", and the golden ring I think refers to a halo, "reaching for the golden ring we never let go, who would ever let us put our filthy hands upon it" and how humans are just too sinful to go to so called heaven or the paradise.
Just my thoughts, Julian kuckimonster2@hotmail.com -
I agree with the person that said it was about hitler, it actually fits if you read the lyrics and think about it
-
I think its About the expresion die young stay pretty its say in I give my life will you let miss beauty stay so he's saying that if he give his life he'll always have his beauty and adore him for the handsome man he was

Opinion: afi = nirvana
?will his death produce the same phenomenon?
starts with the thoughts of suicide.
miss murder is (death- "miss" single women romantic never really 'has' anyone whom she chooses.)
immortalized in beauty and power. The height of popularity. just like Kurt Cobain
Take my life? -hmmm I wonder-
the people cry "whoa - oh -oh"
unravels from there! to a hook of questions and a twist of stories.
hopes, in spite of --really? you think? my idol my guiding light?
"we're the empty set....filthy hands upon it"
davies philosophy of life and the influence of 'stars' and there goal of the unreachable. -
Rather than being about someone like Jesus in the past tense, I think this song is in the future sense. Like much of the materials being issued forth there is a consistancy with the ideals of western Heroism. Its either an individual call to a reawakening, or plea to a collective realization.
The artist I think is conceptualizing a struggle in which he pits himself, only to spark amongst others intrigue and self reflection more on his feelings and the sentiments his combination of symbols surrounds him with.
Just a thought.

He is singing about Hitler, who killed himself and left everyone behind. In the Music Video he's waving his arm back and forth to the Nazis below the balcony. The four flags represent the swastika.

Just to add, the "golden ring" could be from 'The Catcher in the Rye' where at the end of novel Holden's younger sister is riding on a merry-go-round. On merry-go-rounds is a golden ring, or use to be, that riders could try to grab resulting in a prize. However, there is some risk in going for the gold ring. The rider might even fall. So the gold ring represents a hope, a dream, and the chances that we must take to grab it. In 'Miss Murder' the "golden ring" could be the unattainable or what the character desires, fantasizes about and longs for.

I fits along with the song lyrics, eerily well to the video, and is the sort of thing that I think Davey would be interested in taking the time to write a song about.
That is one idea. I have heard many different takes from people. I just personally do not buy the whole Jesus thing people are getting out of it. -
