This, and many more is hidden beneath the electro-guitar sound of the Prague’s four.
It’s been few years since Janne Marvannen (vocal), Robert Broj (keyboards), I.G. Dvorsky (drums) and Vito Hayek (guitar) kicked off with their well-appraised melancholy debut “Sunrise”. And today, after touring to support their 2007 release “EXIT:NOWhere”, the band is now yet ahead of a new adventure of clearing the bar.
A necessity to learn about this jewel from the heart of Europe for someone loving Depeche Mode, Placebo, IAMX, De/Vision, Mesh or New Order.
Afterlife
Lakeside X Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hello I came down to you
So beautiful and pure
So weak and so insecure
I came, I came
I came to take your hand again
To lead you out of here again
I feel, I feel
That time is not a friend of you
But wait
Seems like you wanna hear the truth
You know, you know
You’re drifting like a feather doll
And sleep
Is a gentle friend to get along with
Hear me
One
I am the one
I am the one
Waiting for the time
For the time to come
One
I am the one
I am the one
Waiting for the daylight
To take you home
Do you, do you
Do you feel this moment in your veins
And the tears
Disappear in never ending rain
Hear me
One
I am the one
I am the one
Waiting for the time
For the time to come
One
I am the one
I am the one
Waiting for the daylight
To take you home
The lyrics of Lakeside X's song "Afterlife" seem to be the words of a caring friend, lover, or mentor who has come to console and support someone who is going through a difficult time. The song starts with a greeting: "Hello, hello / Hello, I came down to you." The singer describes the person they are addressing as "so beautiful and pure / so weak and so insecure." This could suggest that they are dealing with some kind of emotional or psychological vulnerability.
The singer then declares that they have come "to take your hand again / to lead you out of here again / into another kind of somewhere." This suggests that the person they are addressing is stuck in a negative situation or mindset and needs someone to guide them to a more positive and hopeful space. The singer acknowledges that "time is not a friend of you," but promises to tell the truth and help them see things more clearly.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "One / I am the one / Waiting for the time / For the time to come" and "One / I am the one / Waiting for the daylight / To take you home." The repetition of the word "one" could suggest that the singer is emphasizing their role as the only person who can truly help this individual. "Waiting for the time" and "waiting for the daylight" both suggest that the person they are addressing will eventually come out of their dark period into a brighter phase, and the singer will be there to support them.
Overall, "Afterlife" seems to be a song of hope and reassurance to someone who is struggling. The singer promises to be a friend, guide, and safe haven for them during a difficult time.
