The world of Dr. Manhattan revolves from the raucous, in-your-face melodies of album opener “Big Chomper, Big Chomper,” an introductory track that reveals the band’s skill for drawing intrigue and beauty out of the depths of cacophony, to the lighter, eclectic “Claims Should Echo,” where hooks emerge from places one would never expect them to hide, to the soaring, admirably lovely “Gunpowder: A Ballet,” a song that blossoms with hushed emotion and layers propulsive guitars with graceful keys. The record, which should absolutely be heard as a whole rather than a collection of songs on a disc, dances through high and low, loud and soft, callous and delicate with not-so-reckless abandon, shattering preconceived notions. “We want to ruin everyone’s current thoughts on music and replace them with what we’re doing,” Vombrack says, “which is really organized chaos.”
Dr. Manhattan is a band about proving everything and nothing at the same time. They are about creating music that both lacks intent and is full of intent at the same time. They are a band who instigate their revolution whether you are on board their pirate ship or not, but they want you to be there at the same time. “Now is such a good time to be making music because everyone is so starving for some good,” Engers says. “These are the times when something good happens. This is when everything changes.”
Their latest album, Jam Dreams, was produced by Chris Conley via Cassette Deck Media Conglomerate and was released August 18, 2009.

After All
Dr. Manhattan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am still in love
After all the things we've seen
I am still in love
I don't know what this means
But it feels alright for now
I'll think about the rest tomorrow
'Cause when I think about it, yes,
What can one do?
I'm still in love
What can one do?
In weeks of holidays
The cold collects my nerves
I'd like to wrap myself up
In arms and cheeks like hers
I don't know what this means
But it feels alright for now
I'll think about the rest tomorrow
'Cause when I think about it, yes,
I'm still in love
What can one do?
I'm still in love
What can one do?
I'm still in love
I'm still in love
What can one do?
I'm still in love
What can one do?
I'm still in love
What can one do?
I'm still in love
What can one do?
It's trouble to fall asleep
As the morning comes again
The stars are easy to see
As the moon assumes its den
I'd like to kiss you with love
I'd like to hold your hand
It's strange that we've achieved this
To feel like we are not in love
But I'm still in love
I'm still in love
I'm still in love
The lyrics of Dr. Manhattan's song "After All" convey a sense of uncertainty and ambivalence about love. The singer repeats the phrase "I am still in love" several times throughout the song, but also acknowledges that they "don't know what this means". Despite the ups and downs they have experienced, the singer still feels a connection to their partner, and is willing to take things one day at a time.
The second verse takes on a more melancholy tone, with references to cold weather and a desire for physical comfort. The singer seems to long for the warmth and closeness of a loved one's embrace, but also acknowledges that this feeling may be fleeting. The final lines of the song echo this sense of impermanence, with a reference to the struggle of falling asleep and the transience of the stars and moon.
Overall, "After All" is a poignant meditation on the complexities of love and the ways in which it can both sustain and challenge us. The repeating refrain of "I'm still in love" serves as a kind of anchor throughout the song, reminding us that even in the face of uncertainty and doubt, there is power in the simple act of loving someone.

In weeks of holidays
During the idle times of our lives,
The cold collects my nerves

I'd like to wrap myself up
I wish to find solace in the embrace of someone like you.
In arms and cheeks like hers
If only I could find someone with arms and cheeks like yours.
It's trouble to fall asleep
It's difficult for me to find the restful slumber I need.
As the morning comes again
And the cycle of each day begins anew.
The stars are easy to see
The celestial bodies shine clearly in the darkness.

To be so certain of our feelings, yet feel somehow detached from them.
But I'm still in love
Despite the confusion, I am still undoubtedly in love with you.
I'm still in love
And so, my love for you endures.
I'm still in love
No matter what else happens, my love for you remains constant.
What can one do?
When love is this powerful, there is little that can be done but to accept it.
