After All (Fear Force's Planet
Delerium Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She knows the voices in her mind
They tell her
To leave

She's tired of smiling madly
Until silence becomes very silently
A noise in her mind
After all she's got nothing inside
No good to give
No meaning to live
The mist engulfed tonight
Every single star

After all they shared
How'd he simply say no
After all they shared
He turned away from her to go
She said she wouldn't cry
That was really just a lie

She knows the noises in her mind
Nothing's left but
Screaming silence

After all she feels numbness inside
The feeling's gone
She's upside down
The pictures behind her closed eyes
This time you went too far

After all they shared
How'd he simply say no
After all they shared
He turned away from her to go
She said she wouldn't cry
That was really just a lie

After all they shared
How'd he simply say no
After all they shared
He turned away from her to go
She said she wouldn't cry
That was really just a lie

After all she has nothing inside
No good to give
No meaning to live
The mist engulfed tonight
Every single star

After all they shared
How'd he simply say no
After all they shared
He turned away from her to go
She said she wouldn't cry
That was really just a lie

After all they shared
How'd he simply say no (simply say no)
After all they shared
He turned away from her to go
She said she wouldn't cry
That was really just a lie

After all they shared
How'd he simply say no (simply say no)
After all they shared
He turned away from her to go




She said she wouldn't cry
That was really just a lie

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Delerium's song "After All" featuring Jael explore the emotions of the singer who is experiencing heartbreak and despair. The song describes the pain and confusion experienced by someone who has been rejected by someone they deeply cared for. The first verse sets the tone of the song, as Jael sings about the voices in the singer's mind that are urging her to "leave". She is tired of pretending to be happy when in reality, she is feeling overwhelmed by sadness.


The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, as Jael sings about the singer's feeling of emptiness and lack of purpose. She has "nothing inside", and no reason to keep living. The mist that has enveloped her represents her feelings of confusion and uncertainty. The second verse talks about the singer's numbness and disorientation. She feels like her world has been turned upside down, and the memories of her past relationship are haunting her. The final chorus echoes the same feelings of hopelessness and despair, as the singer realizes that she has been left with nothing.


In summary, "After All" is a powerful song that delves deep into the emotions of heartbreak and loss. The sparse, haunting melody and Jael's soulful vocals perfectly capture the mood of the song, making it a strikingly memorable piece of music.

She knows the voices in her mind
She is aware of the thoughts in her head


They tell her to leave
The voices are urging her to go away

When all is quiet, the noise in her head becomes deafening


A noise in her mind
The voices in her head are too loud to ignore

She said she wouldn't cry (that was really just a lie)
She broke her promise and allowed herself to cry after all
