Afterglow
Boskat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your song’s stuck in my head you know
And it’s all for the best we know
But tell me why you would
Why would you, why would you
Even though your paint is dry
Your tears sorrow
For the lack of the one who they
But you said it would be something but we’re going
Down down down down down
But you said it would belong
But you said we started something but we’re going
Down down down down down
Into the drain we disenthrall
Afterglow
Your song’s stuck in my head you know
And your dark world needs
Afterglow
So bring me where you keep your last shadow
Afterglow
I paint my house gray in a row
But there’s no room for afterglow
And I set up the sun
Set up the sun and it all be gone
And I set up the sun
Set up the sun
But you said it would be something but we’re going
Down down down down down
But you said it would be long
Afterglow
Your song’s stuck in my head you know
And your dark world needs
Afterglow
So bring me where you keep your last shadow
The end of the road, where your hearts no longer matter
A unicorn, with no head to make you sadder
And if everything’s alright why aren’t you showing up tonight?
Tonight
Afterglow
Your song don’t sound so good no more
Afterglow
Your song’s stuck in my head you know
And your dark world needs
Afterglow
So bring me where you keep your last shadow
Afterglow
Your song’s stuck in my head you know
And your dark world needs
Afterglow
The song "Afterglow" by Boskat seems to be about a relationship that has ended but the memories of the good times still linger. The opening lines mention the repetition of a song that is stuck in the singer's head. This song could be something the couple used to listen to together, and it brings back feelings of nostalgia. The second line, "And it’s all for the best we know" suggests that despite the break-up, the singer recognizes that it was necessary and for the better. However, the confusion over why an end was reached still lingers.
The following lines show the singer trying to find some kind of explanation and make sense of the situation. The line "Your tears sorrow for the lack of the one who they" could mean that the person the singer was with is sad that they are no longer together. The next line, "I spill my drink by your hello" could be interpreted as the singer being clumsy around the person they used to be with. Overall, the lyrics seem to convey someone trying to make sense of their feelings and understand why something they thought was going to last forever has ended.

Heard it on StuBru once. Can't get this off repeat now! Am i insane, or do i hear 90's rock? Do I hear some grunge? Even a hint of Nirvana? This song has great potential. More stuff like this please!!

If you like this music, I would suggest listening to Willy to discover more like it. It's more like what StuBru used to be. It's a digital radio though, so you won't find it with an FM-radio.
