After You
My Own Private Alaska & Mopa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The criminals are saints
After you
The whores are nurses
After you
I'm not scared at all
After you
Now that I've seen evil
After you
The criminals are saints
After you
The whores are nurses
After you
I'm not scared at all
After you
Now that I've seen evil
Could it be a life?. Never reminding...
Could it be?. Erase erase...
Could it be a life?. Never reminding...
Could it be? ...
Burying my own corpse
After you
The Hangmen are friends
After you
The soldiers are tourists
After you
I'm not scared at all
After you
Dead and unbreakable
Could it be a life?. Never reminding...
Could it be?. Erase erase...
Could it be a life?. Never reminding...
Could it be? ...
Burying my own corpse
Let's bury it, you'll see your crime
Let's bury it, you'll see your crime
How can I be alive after you?
So wash my memory
The lyrics of "After You" by My Own Private Alaska & Mopa talk about the impact that someone has on the singer's life. They say that after this person, criminals appear as saints, whores become nurses, and the singer is no longer scared of anything because they have already faced true evil. The recurring phrase "after you" indicates that this person has caused such a shift in the singer's perspective that everything else is different "after" they came into their life.
The lines "could it be a life? Never reminding...could it be? Erase erase...burying my own corpse" suggest that the singer might be grappling with their own identity and struggles with memory and erasing their past self. The repetition of these lines may indicate that the singer is struggling with their own identity after being influenced so heavily by this person. The last line "How can I be alive after you?" indicates that this person has had a profound impact on the singer's life and they feel that they cannot continue without them.
Overall, the song explores themes of memory, identity, and the impact that others can have on our lives. The repeated phrase "after you" highlights the singer's struggle to reconcile who they were before meeting this person and who they have become "after" they entered their life. The song is reflective and mournful, with a sense of loss and uncertainty.

Huge support from Russia! I remember live in Moscow in 2011- my friends and I have left the club in a total silence, shocked and traumatised at the same time all together, in a good way. gushing about all the emotions a minute later, it was crazy..We love you MOPA</3
