Between destinations and among thousands of miles, it took the time to throw unique live performances, compose and record for the three albums it has released until now. -December 2004 – “Nomad Rhymes” -October 2005 – “Anger as a Gift” -December 2007 – “Trend Off”. The band's third album, 'Trend Off', was released on the 10th of December 2007, exactly three years after their first album, “Nomad Rhymes”. This time the team enlarged, as eleven musicians put their hard work into making the music for the album. It was long awaited and very well received by the public. 2009 brings the band back on track for some new events and album planning. The first live appearance of Sorin Erhan, Dominic Csergo and Mani Gutau as Urma band members for this year takes place in Budapest, on the 10th of April, after almost three years since their last one. A set of further surprise live events will take place as a preview of the new album soon to be released this year, “Lost End Found”. No boundaries, maybe that’s what best defines Urma at the moment. Whether it’s 3 or 12 musicians, a hometown or an international city, music happens this year.

After All
Urma Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why do we feel so empty...when we're all alone?
It seems a god is pushing me to join the world...
Why do we feel so low...when out of love?
Why do we need a reason when we love someone?

Why do we have to feel?
Until the end, it hurts...
Why do we have to see?

It's killing all my trust...
Why do we have to bleed to prove we are alive?
Why cannot waste my days in your smile?

Why do we...why do we
Why do we live after all?

Why we cannot die...the way we wanna die?
Why it's such a shame to leave with no goodbye?
Who says we need to suffer? The joy would be enough
Who put so many demons standing in my path?

Why do we have the distance?
So many miles between...
Why can't we be like angels?
To fly above all dreams...
Why do we have to bleed? It's clear we are alive...
Why cannot waste my days in your smile?

Why do we...why do we
Why do we live after all?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Urma's song "After All" address the universal existential questions of why we live, feel, suffer, and love. The opening lines interrogate the feeling of emptiness that accompanies solitude that often pushes people to seek connection with others. The line "it seems a god is pushing me to join the world" suggests that there is an external force that is responsible for our need to socialize and form connections with others.

The chorus "Why do we...why do we, Why do we live after all?" highlights the central theme of the song and suggests that despite the struggles and pain that come with living, it remains a mystery why we have to live in the first place. The verse "Why cannot waste my days in your smile?" reveals the singer's desire to be happy in the presence of their loved one, and it highlights the struggle between feeling the need to suffer and wanting to live a joyful life.

The bridge questions the concept of suffering and highlights the possibility of joy being enough. The lyric "who says we need to suffer? The joy would be enough" provides a reminder that living does not always have to be a painful experience. Ultimately, the song reflects on the human condition, the journey of life, and the complexities of living.
