2.- AFTER was originally conceived by singer/guitarist Jose Freitas and drummer Brian Santner in the halls of the Los Angeles Music Academy.

Shortly after moving the fledgling project out to Orange County, they were signed to Skullr Records, and released their first demo and subsequent self-titled album.

They quickly exhausted the options available to them in the OC scene, and in 2008 decided to move the band to the epicenter of the music industry: Los Angeles.

A tumultuous couple of years followed as the band underwent numerous lineup changes, but in 2010 they finally started to gain some traction: they hooked up with their manager Don Hamister, released their second album, and pulled off a successful DIY tour.

2011 proved to be the band’s breakout year; they solidified their line-up with Matthew Denis on bass and Brian Sumwalt on drums, and quickly garnering a reputation for awe-inspiring live performances, with standing room only shows at The Viper Room, The Troubadour, and The Roxy Theater.

After crafting some of their most dynamic and musical material to date, they got into the studio with platinum producer Barrett Yeretsian to record their newest release, the appropriately titled ‘Edges of the World’.

With some serious momentum and an excellent team behind them, AFTER is set to hit the ground running in 2012.

Away
After Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I may get along, when love is gone
Still, you made your mark, here in my heart

One day I'll fly away
Leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?

I follow the night
Can't stand the light
When will will I begin
My life again?

One day I'll fly away
Leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do fot me?
When will love be through with me?

Why live life from dream to dream
And dread the day when dreaming ends

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of After's song "Away" depict a sense of longing for a fresh start and breaking free from the restraints of a past love. The opening lines showcase the singer's ability to live without love, but they also acknowledge the impact that the love had on the singer's heart. The chorus emphasizes the desire to move on and leave the past love behind. The questions posed in the chorus convey a sense of frustration and a lack of understanding of when love will release its hold on the singer. The final verse paints a picture of the singer struggling to find a reason to live beyond their dreams and questioning the inevitability of disappointment when the dreams come to an end.

Line by Line Meaning

I may get along, when love is gone
Even though love has left, I might still be able to carry on

Still, you made your mark, here in my heart
You've left a lasting impression on my heart, despite your departure

One day I'll fly away
I know that someday I'll be able to move on from this heartache

Leave your love to yesterday
I need to let go of the love that's already in the past

What more can your love do for me?
I don't see any more that can come of your love for me

When will love be through with me?
I wonder when love will no longer hurt me

I follow the night
I tend to escape from reality by being awake at night

Can't stand the light
The harshness of reality is too much when I'm exposed to too much light

When will will I begin
I'm wondering when I'll be able to start over

My life again?
I'm yearning to have my life back

Why live life from dream to dream
I'm beginning to question the purpose of living a life that's filled with only dreams

And dread the day when dreaming ends
I fear the day when I'll no longer have dreams to escape to
