Afterlife
Wish For Wings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That eerie feeling deep inside the one you can't explain
Troubled souls ignored like a ship lost at sea
It's like the distance growing deeper between you and me
How do you feel knowing times at it's end
Decomposed like the corpse we all turn to be
Can't stop thinking about the times I'm missing
It's an untold tale of this story of betrayal
No one hears you no one sees you can I hear the cry
As time passes by
Sometimes I feel like I've passed on by
Can't stop wandering into the afterlife
Afterlife
I can't stop No
I won't stop No
I've put too much into this
The lyrics of the song "Afterlife" by Wish For Wings talks about the afterlife and how it is perceived by the singer. The opening lines "Can you feel them, feel the watching from beyond, that eerie feeling deep inside the one you can't explain" indicates that the singer feels as though he is being watched by something beyond this world. He has this eerie feeling that he cannot explain, which suggests that he is unsure of what lies beyond his current perception. The next line, "Troubled souls ignored like a ship lost at sea," conveys the idea of souls that are lost and ignored in the afterlife, which is like being lost at sea.
The song then talks about how time is running out, and how everything will eventually decompose. The line "Decomposed like the corpse we all turn to be" suggests that death is inevitable, and that we will all turn to dust. The singer then reflects on the times he is missing and how he is unable to forget them. He feels as though he has been betrayed, and this story remains untold. The chorus "Sometimes I feel like I've passed on by, Can't stop wandering into the afterlife" suggests that the singer is unsure of where he is and that he is wandering in the afterlife.
The song has a deep theme of loss, betrayal and uncertainty, which are all relatable emotions. The lyrics paint a vivid image of the afterlife and how the singer perceives it. The use of the word 'afterlife' in the chorus emphasizes the theme of the song and ties it all together.
