After All
Wired All Wrong Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you gonna calm me down with your sad face?
It never really calmed me down in the first place
Now I say it again and again and again
Apparently to waste your time and
How is it that we seem to always end
End up at the back of the line and
We push and we push, we try and we try
I'm tired of this world, I'm sick of this life
Is there no hope left for us?
Is there no way to go home?

Why are we always the last to know just what we need?
Now wouldn't you just love to make it so easy for me?
Why are we left with nothing to show? Problems persist
Now wouldn't you love to know where we go after all this?
After all this, after all this

When you gonna come around with your head case?
You seem to only hear the sound of your rat race
Now I'm waking up in places I've never been
Stone cold, my head's still ringing
We could take it to the ropes, to whatever end
As long as I get one good swing in
We fight and we fight and we live and we die
I'm tired of this world, I'm sick of this life
Is there no hope left for us?
Is there no way to go home?

Why are we always the last to know just what we need?
Now wouldn't you just love to make it so easy for me?
Why are we left with nothing to show? Problems persist
Now wouldn't you love to know where we go after all this?
After all this, after all this

Is there no hope left for us?
Is there no way to go home?

Why are we always the last to know just what we need?
Now wouldn't you just love to make it so easy for me?
Why are we left with nothing to show? Problems persist
Now wouldn't you love to know where we go after all this?

Why are we always the last to know just what we need?
Now wouldn't you just love to make it so easy for me?
Why are we left with nothing to show? Problems persist
Now wouldn't you love to know where we go after all this?




After all this, after all this
After all this, after all this

Overall Meaning

The song "After All" by Wired All Wrong is a reflection on the frustration and disillusionment the singer feels with life and the world around them. The first verse addresses someone who is supposed to calm the singer down with their presence when they are feeling upset, but their "sad face" has never really done the job. The singer wonders out loud why they always end up at the back of the line, despite their efforts to push forward and try harder. They express a sense of exhaustion with their life and the world, asking if there is any hope left for them and if there is any way to go back "home."


The chorus repeats the question of why the singer always feels left in the dark about what they need ("why are we always the last to know just what we need?"), and wonders if it wouldn't be nice for someone to make things easier for them. The singer also expresses frustration with having nothing to show for their efforts and feels like problems persist without resolution. The final verse addresses someone who seems to be lost in their own "rat race," leaving the singer to wake up in unfamiliar places with a pounding head. The idea of taking it to the ropes, or fighting to the end, is proposed, but the singer just wants to get one good swing in before giving up.

End up at the back of the line and
At the back of the line is where we always seem to end up

I'm waking up in unfamiliar locations now


Stone cold, my head's still ringing
My head is still pounding and I'm numb


We could take it to the ropes, to whatever end

As long as I get one good swing in
As long as I get at least one good hit in


We fight and we fight and we live and we die
We keep fighting through life, till we die

Do we have no hope left?

After all this, after all this
After going through all of this
