Afterglow
In Hearts Wake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the afterglow, the bond remains unbroken
when young hearts have been awoken.
Just follow the light. This distance,
it doesn't matter to us.
Standing by, waiting for our stories to be told. We hold.
We hold the unbroken bond no matter how old we are.
Together we are the fireflies.
We hold the light. We burn so bright.
We are the stars that shine even in the darkest night.
This distance, it doesn't matter to us.
Standing by, waiting for our stories to be told.
We hold. We hold the unbroken bond no matter how old we are.
Together in the afterglow the bond remains unbroken,
when young hearts have been awoken.
Just follow the light.
Can you hear the voices calling you to the shadows?
Can you feel the reaper pulling you to the gallows?
We hold the light.
We burn so bright.
We are the stars that shine even in the darkest night.




Can you hear the voices calling you to the shadows?
Can you feel the reaper pulling you to the gallows?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of In Hearts Wake's song Afterglow touch upon the theme of unbroken bond and the sense of togetherness that people share, no matter how far apart they are. The afterglow is a metaphor for the lasting glow of a relationship or a bond, that remains after the initial charm or excitement fades away. The bond, in this case, could be a friendship, a romantic relationship, or even a sense of togetherness among people who share a common interest or goal. The lyrics suggest that the distance between individuals or groups does not matter as long as they are together in spirit, holding onto the light that brings them together.


The song also deals with the idea of mortality and the impending sense of death. The lyrics "Can you hear the voices calling you to the shadows? Can you feel the reaper pulling you to the gallows?" serve as a reminder that life is fleeting and uncertain. However, the sense of togetherness and the unbroken bond can help people overcome their fears and face the challenges that come with life. The lyrics suggest that people can find comfort and strength in their bonds with others, which can help them shine even in the darkest of nights.
