Afterlife
Berzerker (The) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What lies beyond this world and what awaits your future now
[Chorus]
Waiting for the afterlife
Waiting for you're time to die
Waiting for the afterlife
Waiting till the time is right
Waiting, wanting, searching, suffering
Waiting for the afterlife
Time is upon you time to die
Why don't stop to ponder, why you're afraid of death
Why don't you stop and wonder, what could be worse than this
Now you're alone you're life has ceased I can feel it
All of your hatred has come undone
I've watched you live, I've watched you die I have seen it
And now it's over I can finally move on
Your time spent here is over now you deal with it
No coming back, never living, I know
To earn freedom, you must let go, I now know it
Of all the hatred, for it's time to move on
[Chorus]
Why don't stop to ponder, why you're afraid of death
Why don't you stop and wonder, what could be worse than this
I cant stand by and watch you wait for an after life
That has been promised to you by your faith
Why would you believe such nonsense without any
Shred of proof or existence beyond our world
The song "Afterlife" by Berzerker explores the concept of death and the unknown beyond. The song begins by acknowledging that death is inevitable and that it's natural to be curious about what happens after we die. The chorus repeats the phrase "Waiting for the afterlife" multiple times, emphasizing the anticipation and uncertainty that comes with death. The lyrics suggest that death is a time for reflection and contemplation, as we ponder what could come next.
The second verse touches on the idea of being alone in death and how the hatred that we hold onto in life ultimately dissipates as we face our own mortality. The message here is to let go of the negative emotions that hold us back in life so that we can be free in death. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing the waiting and searching that comes with the anticipation of the afterlife.
The third verse takes a different tone, questioning why people believe in an afterlife based on faith alone, without any proof or evidence beyond our world. The lyrics suggest that we should focus on the life we have now rather than waiting for something that may never come.
Overall, "Afterlife" by Berzerker is a thought-provoking song that encourages listeners to reflect on the concept of death and what may lie beyond.
