Afterglow
Soundmouse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Taking control of the elements
Making it mine, making it mine

Touching up all of the elements
Taking my time, taking my time

Taking a hold of the present day
Pushing it all, pushing it all, pushing it





Taking control of my destiny
Making it fine, making it fine, making it

6 years flow away,
i was diagnosed with cancer,
i finished school,
i was in love twice,
i enjoyed life every summer,
i was depressed every winter,
i moved to another city,
i lost my ,,friends˝ once,
i smoked weed three times,
i was drunk ~50 times,
i was happy, i was sad, but the time is just running,
i'm going to leave this world behind soon,
and look how easy it was to write everything down here.
Except one thing, that you are feeling when listening to a song like this. Every time i hear this, old dreams come above... The big teenage dreams about a brighter future.
We are always searching for happiness in others, but believe me my friend, its always there, in you. You can be as happy as rich kids, or famous people, without money or fame.
You should be satisfied with yourself. Everything else you need will come.

Now i'm going to live every moment i can.:)
Good luck in life, and don't be sad about me. I'm happy, and i lived a really nice life. Now, it's your turn!

This is my alarm, best way to wake up. It wakes me up ever so gently. Like someone slowly caressing you, your mind, your very soul.
