After All
Harbor of Emotions: Unveiling the Depths in Charlotte Day Wilson's 'After All'
Lyrics
Ooh, it's running through your veins
Feeling a sensation coursing through one's veins
Like the wind up harbor
Similar to the movement and force of the wind in a harbor
Taking me, whoa-oh
Leading or guiding the singer
I just need a little rest
Seeking a moment of reprieve or relaxation
Before this gets harder
Before the situation becomes more challenging or difficult
Harder
Reiteration of the impending difficulty
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Repeating the sensation or feeling
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
-Isn't it funny how it goes?
Reflecting on the unpredictable nature of life
The open-ended close
The uncertain conclusion or ending
Forcin' you to enter as you go
Compelling one to participate or engage while experiencing uncertainty
Take the wind, the wind up harbor
Referencing the wind metaphorically again
Take it in before this gets harder
Emphasizing the need to understand or absorb before things become more difficult
And after all
Reflecting on events or circumstances that occurred
You're the one that I call
Someone significant who the singer reaches out to
Home is dull
Implying a lack of excitement or interest in familiar surroundings
When the waves don't spill
When there's a lack of movement or change
Now wash it all
Removing or cleansing everything
All away, all away now
Completely getting rid of everything
Oh-oh
Emotional expression or emphasis
Oh-oh
-Ooh, it's running through your veins
Reiteration of the feeling and the need for a break before things become more challenging
Like the wind up harbor
-Taking me, whoa-oh
-I just need a little rest
-Before this gets harder
-Harder
Re-emphasis on the impending difficulty
Before this get harder
-
And after all
Repetition of seeking comfort in someone while feeling disillusioned with the familiar
You're the one that I'll call
-Home is dull
-When the waves don't spill
-Now wash it all
-All away, all away now
-Oh-oh
Emotional expression or emphasis
Whoa-oh
