Afternoon
Rhesus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Clocks gone wrong, It's gonna happen soon
Clouds floating in reverse
You call me from the shore, I want more
The fog horn blows, I can hear it too
Your words are sweets,
all different shades of blue
You never listen to my songs or sing along, yeah
I cannot let you out
What if I keep on trying to live without?
It's getting harder to say
Your tender eyes slowly fades away
Suddenly it feels cold (I don't know why)
I think I'm getting old (I don't know why)
Because I want it all too soon (I don't know why)
I guess we're losing it (I don't know why)
I don't know why
I see sparkles
The lyrics of Rhesus's song Afternoon portray a sense of confusion, loneliness and longing. The opening lines suggest a sense of disorientation, with the singer waking up in the afternoon and realizing that time has slipped away. The mention of "clocks gone wrong" suggests that time is unreliable and unpredictable, adding to the overall sense of unease.
The reverse-floating clouds and fog horn add to the dreamlike quality of the song, while the phone call from the shore suggests a distance between the singer and the person on the other end of the line. The reference to letters being too long and the other person never listening to their songs creates a sense of frustration and a lack of connection.
The chorus of the song suggests a growing sense of melancholy and the feeling that things are slipping away. The tender eyes of the person on the other end of the line are fading away, and the singer cannot let them go. The line "I don't know why I see sparkles" adds to the sense of confusion and suggests a feeling of being lost.
All-in-all, the lyrics of Afternoon suggest a longing for connection and a sense of loss and confusion. The dreamlike quality of the song creates a haunting atmosphere that lingers long after the song has ended.
