Living in the Aftermath
Surviving the Bitter Pill: Navigating Life's Aftermath
Lyrics
We took the antidote, oh, it was a bitter pill
We consumed a remedy, though it was unpleasant
It rearranged the past
It altered our history
Made us forget how we used to feel
Erased memories of our past emotions
The poison was a part of us
The toxic substance was integral to our identity
It made us who we were
It defined who we were
Now we're just faces and names
Now we are reduced to mere identities on a calendar
And numbers on a calendar
Just numerical entries in time
Now I've realized
I have come to understand
There's more to life than just being alive
Life encompasses more than mere existence
We're living in the aftermath
We are dealing with the consequences
I don't know how, but at least we survived
I am uncertain how, but at least we are still alive
And when I look back on the way we used to be
Reflecting on our past selves
Sometimes I almost miss
Sometimes I feel a longing for the chaos and sorrow
All the drama and the tragedy
The drama and tragedy of our history
'Cause blood is a funny thing
Blood symbolizes complex connections
The more you lose, sometimes the more you gain
Loss may lead to unexpected gains
You just have to know when to stop
Knowing when to stop is crucial
Because there's no life in an empty vein
Life is absent in an empty vein
And now I've realized
Realization dawns on me
There's more to life than just being alive
Life is more than mere survival
We're living in the aftermath
We are grappling with the aftermath
I don't know how, but at least we survived
I don't understand how, but we are alive
So I hope you're well, sleeping warm in somebody's arms
I wish you well, finding comfort in someone's embrace
And that you forget all the things we said
May you forget the harm we caused each other
when we were doing each other harm
During the times of mutual pain
Because now I've realized
Understanding now
There's more to life than just being alive
Life holds more significance than mere existence
We're living in the aftermath
We are coping with the aftermath
I don't know how, but at least we survived
I don't comprehend how, but we are alive
