dustbox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He wants to be the one who doesn't have to sink a level
Indiscrete, in his retreat
All he need is just a taste of the bitter pride he held in her name
Embrace the solitude in ordinary fucked up state of grace
Far away from the days he bared
The cross he used to wear
In some resolve well aware
Well at ease in consent
In the drift of undertow
He won't justify the pity from them
When he knows... fools in love are arrogant
Their sermons cloud his breathing air
He's in love with an isolation from emotion
Here he is awaiting sentence
A fool to think that anyone can escape guilt and anguish
A subtlety that can't be learned
A subtlety that can't be taught
He is caught in the lure of second thoughts
He might still care
As he settles down well aware
Bound in secrecy. His voice will
Only dignify their fears
But sorrow is signified
He's well aware of his pride
The lyrics to Dustbox's song After You My Friend describe a person who is struggling with various conflicting emotions, particularly feelings of guilt, isolation, and pride. The song's opening lines speak of a person who presents a smiling face to the world, but is secretly longing to rise above the struggles of everyday life. He seeks solace in memories of a past relationship, which he holds onto as a source of bitter pride. The person is described as being at ease with his own isolation, yet also plagued by doubts and self-recriminations.
As the song progresses, the person is revealed to be awaiting some kind of sentence or judgment, and is depicted as recognizing the futility of trying to escape from guilt and anguish. The person struggles to come to terms with some kind of difficult truth, and is caught in the grip of second thoughts. The lyrics suggest that the person is not without some sense of sympathy or caring for others, but that these feelings are countered by the weight of his own pride and desire for secrecy.
Overall, the song paints a picture of a person who is trying to navigate the difficult waters of his own emotional life, struggling to reconcile his own feelings of pride and guilt, and wrestling with his own sense of isolation and longing for connection. It's a poignant and introspective exploration of the human heart, and is likely to resonate with anyone who has ever experienced the complex and often confusing interplay of feelings that define the human experience.
