Beloved (Alt) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I closed my eyes so I couldn't see what would become of it
The stars, they burn bright in this evening sky
And there's not a thing standing in my way tonight
And I promise you that we will make it out alive, out alive
We're just a little bit closer now
The sea, it holds me close
Pushing against the hands that held us back
Pushing against the hands that held us back
Should we run away or face the days we have before us?
Right through the barricades onto the shores below us
Day and night, our steps and paths are chosen for us
Let's bury the past, within the sand beneath us
And i promise you that you will never fall again, never fall again
Day and night you hold me close never letting go now
Beloved's song The Aftermath seems to be a message of hope and perseverance through difficult times.

The barricades are symbolic of obstacles in life, and the singer encourages the listener to break through them and onto the shores below. They acknowledge that our steps and paths are chosen for us day and night, but it's important to bury the past and move forward. The promise of never falling again suggests personal growth and resilience. Overall, the lyrics provide a sense of encouragement to persevere through difficult times and come out stronger on the other side.
