Lyrics
Here in the afterglow of what we've done
Reflecting on the consequences of our actions in the aftermath
What remains here in the after show
What is left behind after the performance or display
Of what we've seen
Reflection on the experiences we've had
Is it strange to be falling away now
Questioning if it's unusual for things to deteriorate now
Or would you say we should have known
Asking whether foresight could have prevented the outcome
It would end this way and both of us turn to dust
Acknowledging the inevitable end and mortality
We went deeper deeper in debt to games and lies
Engagement in deceitful games leading to increasing debts
We got over our head and never realized
Realization of being in over one's head without awareness
How, when or why
Puzzlement about the how, when, and why of the situation
But now as I sit reflecting on your face
Contemplating the partner's face while reflecting on the past
In my hand
Physical representation of holding memories in hand
Now I can see your picture helps retrace
Recognizing that the partner's image aids in retracing memories
All the steps we took, places we went to
Recalling the journey with the partner, the places visited
Thoughts that we tried, tripping along
Recollection of thoughts and experiences shared
On a love we never understood with no guide
Acknowledging a love that was not fully understood and lacked guidance
Many things were taken for granted all along
Realizing that many things were taken for granted
Firm foundations never were planted
Recognition that solid foundations were never established
All went wrong
Admitting that everything went wrong
We fell down, and broke in a million pieces
Describing a complete breakdown into numerous fragments
We couldn't put it all together
Expressing difficulty in piecing everything back together
We couldn't put it all together again
Highlighting the inability to restore the past to its entirety
