The lyrics of Moby's song "After" pertain to a relationship that has gone sour. The lines, "Oh when you had the time to give" and "Oh when I had a life to live" allude to a time when both parties were invested in their relationship. However, the repetition of "But my mind was slow" suggests that the singer was oblivious to the decay of their connection until it was too late. The lyric "Oh when you want, you want from me" implies that his partner's desires have changed, and perhaps they are only interested in him now for something he can offer them. The repetitive use of the phrase "But my mind was slow" could also signify the singer's regret over not recognizing the warning signs of the relationship's collapse. In essence, the lyrics to "After" reflect on how easy it is to lose sight of what is important in a relationship and to be slow to react when it is starting to falter.

Some people find this sad but I actually find it scary. We only live once, and reviewing your whole life in your last moments and realizing it wasn't worth it must be the worst thing ever.

Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of the world to save mankind from death and hell and offer instead the gift of forgiveness and eternal life.
He was buried for three days and rose from the dead on the third day according to the scriptures.
Repent and believe on His name and you will be saved! God bless you and your family.

Its impossibile for us to look back at our life and realize that it was not worth living. because thats not how nostalgia works.
nostalgia means that you look back at an almost forgotten age, wich may was awful but you associate that age with the propably small amount of good things wich you also experienced
