After Hours
Coptic Rain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We shared the passion but it's gone now
No compassion - all is gone
No sympathy - no time to run!
All that's left is here to ignore now
We crossed the line of fire
Don't you feel alone somehow
No respect no desire - I detect you're a liar!
Don't know where all the reasons are from
No compassion - all is done
No sympathy - no time to run
Erase my mind for I am dumb now
There's really not much left to say
No respect no desire - I detect you're a liar!
Do me a favour don't blame it on me
Say You really enjoyed what we were supposed to be
Show me the way or let me learn how to stay.
The lyrics of Coptic Rain's song "After Hours" depict a relationship that has lost its spark and is on the brink of falling apart. The two individuals in the relationship have known each other for a long time and have shared a passion that no longer exists. The remaining feelings between them are negative, with no compassion or sympathy left, and the singer is detecting lies from the other person. The lyrics suggest that the only thing left between them is resentment and loneliness.
The use of the phrase "After Hours" in the title of the song hints at a secret, perhaps an affair. It's likely that the singer and the other person may have been involved in an illicit relationship that has now been exposed. The back and forth in the lyrics "Show me the way or let me learn how to stay" suggests that the singer may be battling with the decision to either stay in the relationship or let go but is clinging to the past because of the comfort it brings.
Overall, the lyrics of "After Hours" are raw and emotive, depicting a complicated and painful experience that most people can relate to. While the song may be somber, it successfully conveys the emotions that are felt in a relationship that has gone sour.
