Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't worry 'cause the night is young
Who cares where we go?
We're ready for the afterglow
Someone hold the sunlight back
'Cause we want this night to last
Afterglow, we're ready for the afterglow
Lights and action, strong attraction
Afterglow, we're ready for the afterglow
Oh baby, baby
Strong attraction, oh yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Afterglow, we're ready for the afterglow
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Afterglow, we're ready for the afterglow
We're ready for the afterglow
We're ready for the afterglow
Even though the dancing's done
Don't worry 'cause the night is young
Who cares where we go?
We're ready for the afterglow
Someone hold the sunlight back
'Cause we want this night to last
Smoke and lasers, love and ravers
Afterglow, we're ready for the afterglow
Lights and action, strong attraction
Afterglow, we're ready for the afterglow
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Afterglow, we're ready for the afterglow
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Afterglow, we're ready for the afterglow

8 years later & this is still my favourite music video. There’s just something about it, it’s so creative, so well made, makes you keep ur eyes glued to the screen. Just a perfect music video all around
@Sqlut
It's one of the most generic Drum and Bass tracks ever produced, so they had to compensate with drugs and sex references to make it "cool", like for most generic tracks produced by generic producers.
