Afterlife
Ultra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time has come,
To give my life up to those hands,
Those hands that I've been praying to,
Step inside, your mind,
And in time you will find,
We live, we die, we fade into the afterlife...
I won't soon feel bad,
When will you work it out,
Why can't you see, for clouds,
Sail on times we've had,
It's something that I've never been more scared of,
In my whole life, whole life, whole life,
I'm just a man who is dying...
Repeat Chorus
Welcome to the end of all time,
It's like a light,
It's like a way, I feel now,
It's something that I've never been more scared of,
In my whole life, whole life, whole life,
I'm just a man who is dying...
Repeat Chorus
The light goes down,
But it's much harder now,
To bring my face up from the ground,
To smile again...
Repeat Chorus til end
The lyrics of Ultra's song 'Afterlife' speaks of the inevitability of life and death, and the fear that comes with it. The chorus invites the listener to reflect on their mortality and the importance of cherishing life before it's too late. The "hands" that are being referred to could be interpreted as something divine or greater than oneself, that one is entrusting their life to. The lyrics suggest that stepping inside one's mind can lead to finding the purpose of life and embracing the fact that eventually, we all fade into the afterlife.
The verses of the song have a different tone to them. They speak of the regrets and fears that come with the end of life. The lyrics suggest that the singer has had a lot of time to reflect on their past and the times they've had, and yet they still feel scared of what's to come. The line "I'm just a man who is dying" stands out as a poignant reminder that no one is invincible and everyone has to face death someday. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer is struggling to come to terms with their mortality and is finding it difficult to find happiness in the face of death.
Line by Line Meaning
Time has come,
It's time for me to surrender and let go
To give my life up to those hands,
To surrender my life to the higher power that I've been praying to
Those hands that I've been praying to,
The higher power that I've been seeking guidance and help from
Step inside, your mind,
Take a deep and introspective dive into your own consciousness
And in time you will find,
Eventually, you will discover
We live, we die, we fade into the afterlife...
Life is fleeting, and we eventually fade away into the unknown afterlife
Welcome to the sand, sea, land,
Welcome to the world, its diverse landscapes, and everything within it
I won't soon feel bad,
I won't feel regret for long
When will you work it out,
When will you figure it out
Why can't you see, for clouds,
Why can't you see through the obstacles and barriers
Sail on times we've had,
Reflect on the good times we've experienced
It's something that I've never been more scared of,
Death is something that frightens me
In my whole life, whole life, whole life,
Throughout my entire existence
I'm just a man who is dying...
I'm simply a mortal human being facing the inevitable end of my life
Welcome to the end of all time,
Welcome to the end of everything
It's like a light,
It feels like a bright and intense sensation
It's like a way, I feel now,
It's a sensation that I've never felt before, but it feels like a path towards something
The light goes down,
The sensation fades away
But it's much harder now,
It's much more difficult to cope with now that the sensation has faded
To bring my face up from the ground,
To lift my spirits and look for hope
To smile again...
To find joy and happiness once more
