Aftermath
Daddy G Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For once, there's someone for he, for me.
Your eyes resemble mine, you see as no others can
Here inherit my kingdom, speak of our (my) people's plans
I'll be here for my baby, for my baby I'll be here (near)
So many things I need to tell you, things you need to hear
Clocks (hanging off)
It was said they dropped the bomb
And I walked out the door
Feeling lonely, as a ray
Thinking of what was once
So I go in search of people
(Song of) the inhabitants
The air is filled with chemicals
So this is the aftermath
Walking over rubble
Which was once (cause's calf)
Down to the center
Which used to be central
So this is the aftermath
For once, there's someone for he, for she.
For once, there's someone for he, for me.
Your eyes resemble mine, you see as no others can
Here inherit my kingdom, speak of our people's plan
I'll be here for my baby, for my baby I'll be near
So many things I need to tell you, things you need to hear
For once, there's someone for he, for she.
For once, there's someone for he, for me.
"How can I
"How can I
How can I be sure
In a world that's constantly changing
How can I be sure
Just when I thought I was winning
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
Just when I thought I was winning
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
how can I be sure
The first verse of Daddy G's song "Aftermath" seems to be a romantic ode where the persona is expressing their love for someone special. The first line, "For once, there's someone for he, for she," suggests that it is a rare feeling to find someone who is perfect for both him and her. The following lines, "Your eyes resemble mine, you see as no others can / Here inherit my kingdom, speak of our people's plans" seem to imply a deep connection and understanding between the two. The persona is willing to share everything they have with this person, including their plans for their community. The last two lines, "I'll be here for my baby, for my baby I'll be here (near) / So many things I need to tell you, things you need to hear" suggest a need to protect and care for this person, as they have important things to share with them.
The rest of the song is a stark contrast to the romantic first verse. The persona is living in a post-apocalyptic world, where a bomb has been dropped and everything has changed. The lines, "It was a day like no other / Clocks (hanging off) / It was said they dropped the bomb / And I walked out the door" suggest that the persona was there when the bomb dropped and has now left to look for survivors. The line, "Thinking of what was once / So I go in search of people" suggests that the persona is trying to find people who he can connect with and find some sense of normality in this new world. The refrain, "For once, there's someone for he, for she. / For once, there's someone for he, for me" is still relevant in this context, as it seems like the persona may have found someone to connect with in this new world.
Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on the fragility of life and relationships in a world that is constantly changing. The persona has found love in both good times and bad, and is searching for hope in a world that seems to have lost it.

Just when I thought I could not be stopped
When I felt invincible and untouchable.

Just when I thought I could not be stopped
Again, repeating the previous line to reinforce the idea of invincibility being shattered.
