After the Show
Memories Unveiled: A Journey Through Youth and Dreams
Lyrics
don't you remember buying fireworks from out of state
Recalling purchasing fireworks from another state
and getting weekday drunk in the park behind your cousin's place
Reflecting on getting drunk on weekdays in a park near a cousin's place
and how I burned my hand when we lit the fuse and ran
Remembering burning a hand while lighting fireworks and running
I tore my knee running on the ice said something dumb like
Recalling a knee injury from running on ice and saying it was worth it
it was worth it though right
Questioning the worthiness of the mentioned experiences
and you believed me
Expressing a past belief in a statement made by the speaker
things are better now I know it, I know it but
Acknowledging improvement but seeking a reminder of how things got better
can you just remind me how? I'm really asking you
Asking for reassurance on the positive changes
weren't we supposed to be the ones who made it far from here
Questioning the deviation from the expected success and distance from home
we're living near our hometowns waiting til we're fathers
Living close to hometowns, waiting to become fathers
don't you still remember our old house party band
Recalling a past house party and a band playing Rage Against the Machine
playing Rage Against the Machine and everybody danced
Describing a lively atmosphere where everybody danced
after the show I told you this was just the start
Stating that after the show, the speaker declared it as just the beginning
and not some high point you'd look back on as you sold your old guitar
Rejecting the idea of the mentioned moment being a high point
and you believed me
Recalling a past belief in a statement made by the speaker
how long have you known that I could come to nothing
Questioning the duration of someone knowing the speaker might not achieve much
have you known for long, just waiting for me to ask you
Asking if someone has been aware for a long time and waiting for the speaker to inquire
how many times will I tell you I am fine
Expressing a repetitive declaration of being fine
before I forget to lie
Anticipating a point where the speaker forgets to lie about being fine
and you believe me
Repeating a past belief in a statement made by the speaker
