After All
Moon of Steel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here we stand in silver silence
Time flies
The autumn leaves fall in the sunlight
Like the days we've lost
Like the faces from your childhood
Not forgetting friends
Take my soul through my eyes
Here we stand in silver silence
Time flies
In the garden of my memories
And I will give my all
Even to those unworthy
I will open my doors of the past
And face my skeletons, forgive my enemies
Would you be able to do the same
Do not live in regret
Try to look on the bright side of life
The harsh truth hides the road
Dust to dust, but life goes on this way
It's hard to rise above,
Life your spirit to a brand new day
Time flies
Offering hope in a new way
Let's learn to cherish life
Tears of the past have not been wasted
And all the ups and downs
Have their place in the grand design
I'll take them as they come
The lyrics of "After All" by Moon of Steel deal with the themes of nostalgia, forgiveness, and acceptance. The opening lines of "Take my soul through my eyes, here we stand in silver silence" suggest the singer's desire to reflect on their life and come to peace with their past. The autumn leaves falling in the sunlight, which are likened to the days that have been lost, and the faces from one's childhood, hint at feelings of melancholy and longing.
As the song progresses, the singer reveals their intention to confront their skeletons and forgive their enemies, even those who do not deserve it. The line "not forgetting friends, but a veil covers my tired heart" suggests that the singer has been hurt by people they were once close to, which has made it difficult for them to trust others.
The chorus of the song reassures the listener that despite the passage of time, hope can still be found. The line "tears of the past have not been wasted" suggests that the singer has learned from their mistakes and that they are ready to move forward. The final lines of "After All" "I'll take them as they come" affirm the singer's acceptance of life and its ups and downs, and their willingness to face whatever lies ahead.
