Afterhours
Hurricane #1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Half light eating sugar with a table spoon
Somethings coming over when I'm all alone
It's the feeling that I'm all alone
I slowly see you walking away
I slowly see you walking away now
(Afterhours alone again, afterhours alone again)
I slowly see you walking away now
(Afterhours alone again, afterhours alone again)
Chasing after moments that are lost in time
Racing through a face that is never mine
Always in love with how you made me feel
I wonder was it ever real
I slowly see you walking away
I slowly see you walking away now
(Afterhours alone again, afterhours alone again)
I slowly see you walking away
I slowly see you walking away now
(Afterhours alone again, afterhours alone again)
I slowly see you walking away
I slowly see you walking away now
(Afterhours alone again, afterhours alone again)
I slowly see you walking away
I slowly see you walking away now
(Afterhours alone again, afterhours alone again)
I slowly see you walking away, my life is slowly slipping away
I slowly see you walking away, my life is slowly slipping away
I slowly see you walking away, my life is slowly slipping away
I slowly see you walking away, my life is slowly slipping away
The lyrics of Hurricane #1's "Afterhours" describe someone who is experiencing intense emotions of loneliness, loss, and confusion. The singer of the song is struggling to hold onto a moment or a feeling that has slipped away from them, and they are finding it difficult to cope with the emptiness and solitude that they are left with. They describe feeling like they are chasing after something that is always just out of reach; they are haunted by a memory or a person that they can no longer hold onto, and they are left feeling adrift and alone.
The chorus of the song - "I slowly see you walking away / I slowly see you walking away now / (Afterhours alone again, afterhours alone again)" - is particularly haunting, as it conveys a sense of inevitability and resignation. The singer knows that they are losing something precious, but they can't stop it from happening. The repetition of the phrase "afterhours alone again" only reinforces the sense of despair and isolation that the song conveys.
Overall, "Afterhours" is a beautiful and melancholy song that explores universal themes of loss, longing, and the search for connection. Its poignant lyrics and dreamy, atmospheric instrumentation make it a standout track from Hurricane #1's catalog.
