Afterglow
Pneumatic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking for a way to redeem myself to promise an ending
When everything is gone i'm living in a memory of my life
And you can't take that away from me
Why can't you see the importance of the past
The light is reflecting off of your eyes
And I watch in sorrow as this flame slowly dies
When I look away everything is the same when I turn back
Time is depleting and I need to know where this all is leading
But today I know that I can't back down and give it all away
Why can't you see the importance of the past
To live your whole life as a gift will help these moments last
Wide awake and my eyes aren't open
There is so much to see
It's something to be so proud of
But I'm locked away in this unsealed capsule
Taking my time
Searching for my open door
I'm waiting for something to pull me above
This everlasting surface
Before my eyes I am watching my life slowly fade
The lyrics to Pneumatic's song "Afterglow" speak of the struggle to find meaning and purpose in life, even in the face of personal setbacks and adversity. The singer is falling beside themselves, searching for a way to redeem themselves so as to bring about an ending that offers some sense of closure. Yet even in the midst of this search, the memory of past experiences and moments is a source of comfort and strength.
The lyrics also speak of the importance of living in the present and cherishing each moment as it comes, even as time continues to pass and uncertainties loom on the horizon. The line "To live your whole life as a gift will help these moments last" suggests the importance of treasuring each moment as it comes, without worrying too much about the future or dwelling too much on the past.
Throughout the song, the lyrics are filled with vivid imagery and metaphors. The line "I'm locked away in this unsealed capsule" suggests the feeling of being trapped or confined, yet also hints at the possibility of breaking free and finding a way forward. Overall, the song speaks to the human desire for purpose and meaning, even as life's challenges can sometimes make this quest seem elusive.

It's something to be so proud of
Being aware and appreciative of life is something to feel proud of
But I'm locked away in this unsealed capsule
I'm confined to my own limitations and struggles despite being aware
Taking my time
I'm going at my own pace and not rushing through life

I'm seeking opportunities to escape my confinement and explore new paths
I'm waiting for something to pull me above
I'm hoping for something to uplift and inspire me
This everlasting surface
Life and its experiences are never-ending and have lasting impact
Before my eyes I am watching my life slowly fade
I'm aware of life's fleeting nature and am trying to make the most of it

I've been playing on survival and I really like the grenade launcher upgrade. Makes good use of the pipebombs on the mini boss fights.
@Chozo_Ghost
I enjoy it as well, I just have to remember to aim up a little bit when I use it, or else the Pipebombs land too close to me lmao
@Mrityugata
In my experience killing the Roamers in the pipeworks does not make the rest of them hostile. May depend on whether or not you talked to Garavito beforehand (both times I played I killed them afterwards.)
@Chozo_Ghost
Before I played through this for a recording, I just outright killed them before going to the Junkyard, not even considering that doing so affected the ending lmao.
Which is why this time around I decided to go the "proper" way (If memory serves, I did so in a playthrough I did just before recording, to make sure there was no funkiness that would happen).

Wow! You got the Project P.I.G., and Project P.I.G. says "Oink". XD Also:

Pretty weird. Also chuckled at your witty comments and the workbench blueprints' wise-ass cracks. And the "heh heh, you said x" thing again. Pretty nice.
