BUILDING BLUEPRINT
Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Afterlife
- {Hook}
- Maybe in another life
- You and I can get it right
- All these scars we try to hide
- Follow us into the night
- And if I disappear tonight
- Don't you cry or lose your life
- I'll be somewhere in the sky
- Waiting in the afterlife
- {Verse 1}
- Tired of trying to be the only one staying alive,
- I don't wanna just survive—I still wanna live my life.
- Stayed awake, well aware of how much this shit costs,
- Every win came attached to another fucking loss.
- Family and fortune can go up in the flames,
- Build your whole fucking life, watch 'em spit on your name.
- Survival got me living like I'm going insane,
- Dead inside at the exact time I wanted to feel alive again.
- That's the irony—survived everything that came,
- Made it through the fire, still came walking through the flames.
- Everybody celebrates when you make it through the pain,
- Nobody asks what surviving did to your fucking brain.
- So I'm carrying the weight like it's stitched to my spine,
- Trying to make peace with the shit I can't leave behind.
- If another life exists, maybe I'll get it right,
- But I'm still fucking here—
- So I'm fighting for this life.
- {Hook}
- Maybe in another life
- You and I can get it right
- All these scars we try to hide
- Follow us into the night
- And if I disappear tonight
- Don't you cry or lose your life
- I'll be somewhere in the sky
- Waiting in the afterlife
- {Verse 2}
- I promise I never wanted to disappear, especially in this life,
- I just wanted all this weight off me so I could finally feel alright.
- Knew fighting back would probably only lead to this,
- But laying down and taking it was never how I learned to live.
- Knowing what I know now—fuck 'em all, let 'em talk,
- Even giants start to stagger right before they take the fall.
- I was staring up at mountains thinking they'd forever stand tall,
- 'Til I watched the strongest crumble and realized we're human after all.
- Every battle took a piece, every victory took another,
- Every time I lost somebody, I held tighter to the others.
- Maybe strength ain't staying solid when you're breaking underneath,
- Maybe strength is getting shattered and still getting to your feet.
- So if you hear me talking like I'm running out of time,
- It's 'cause I learned tomorrow ain't a promise, it's a lie.
- I spent half my fucking life just learning how to survive,
- Now I finally understand—
- I wasn't scared to die.
- I was scared I'd never live
- While I was still alive.
- {Hook}
- Maybe in another life
- You and I can get it right
- All these scars we try to hide
- Follow us into the night
- And if I disappear tonight
- Don't you cry or lose your life
- I'll be somewhere in the sky
- Waiting in the afterlife
