Steve Grimmett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In front of you what makes you bleed
Such despise the torture the twisting
The seed you're missing looks
You straight back in the eye
What a war they can't control you animal
Nobody wants you did it blow
You mind it blow your head it's got inside
The afterglow so warm it's dead
Did it blow your mind is blow
Your head it's got inside
It's said feeling high and feeling dry
The afterglow so warm it's dead
The cold lifeless body
The thought that somebody
Looks you straight bvack in the eye
What a war they can't control you animal
Nobody wants you did it blow
You mind it blow your head it's got inside
It's said feeling high and feeling dry
The afterglow so warm it's dead
Did it blow your mind is blow
Your head it's got inside
It's said feeling high and feeling dry
The afterglow so warm it's dead
Its only in death that I see a piece of me
That's looking right straight back at me
Its only now that I can see now
I know there's only one way out for me
Did it blow your mind it blow
Your head It's got inside
It's said feeling high and feeling dry
The afterglow so warm it's dead
The lyrics of "Afterglow" by Steve Grimmett describe the struggles and pain of life. The first stanza speaks about the difficulties in life and the way they can make a person feel. The second stanza continues with the idea of feeling like an outcast or an animal that is not wanted by society. The lyrics seem to talk about the end of the line, where there seems to be no hope, and everything is just a mirage. The chorus repeats the lines that talk about the aftermath of it all, the pain that still lingers, the feeling of being high, and yet feeling so dry. It seems that the singer is living life with a hole in their heart and soul after experiencing some form of trauma or loss.
In the final stanza, the lyrics talk about the afterlife and how the singer finds a piece of themself once they realize their unavoidable exit. They seem to find solace in the fact that the only escape from the pain of life is death. The lyrics depict the dark and terrifying thoughts of someone who is living with immense trauma or pain; someone who has little hope for the future and is trying to find a way to cope with the current situation.
