After Party
Chasing Shadows: Unraveling the After Party Mystique
Lyrics
You seem like a wild child and I agree
You appear to be adventurous, and I agree.
That the after party's always better than the party
The post-party experience is always superior to the party itself.
That's what he said to me as he handed me a drink
He conveyed this idea while giving me a drink.
It's funny because he watched me pour it down the sink
Ironically, he observed me pouring the drink down the sink.
That's what he said to me as he handed me a drink
Repetition of line 3.
It's funny because he watched me pour it down the
Continuation from line 5, emphasizing the act of pouring the drink down.
He and she and you and me — we know
All of us, including him, her, you, and me, are aware.
I'll always be your Daisy, my baby
I will always be your Daisy, my dear.
Blowing Os on X at The Stone, you saved me
Creating smoke rings with a drug (X) at The Stone saved me.
Now I'm caving for ya
Now, I'm yearning for you.
Now I'm waiting for ya
Waiting for you now.
I heard you returned to the Salt City
I heard you returned to the Salt City.
Franklins sliding, cutting lines at Benji's
Engaging in risky behavior, cutting lines at Benji's.
Used to be you and me until I left the scene
It used to be you and me until I departed from the scene.
I'm sorry for calling when I knew you weren't ready
Apologizing for calling when I knew you weren't prepared.
He and she and you and me — we know
Repetition of line 7.
I'll always be your Daisy, my baby
Reiterating the commitment as "your Daisy."
Blowing Os on X at The Stone, you saved me
Continuation from line 9, highlighting the impact of The Stone.
Now I'm caving for ya
Expressing a strong desire for you.
Now I'm waiting for ya
Currently anticipating your presence.
Outside a speakeasy
Describing a location outside a secret establishment.
Inside a small town
Contrasting with line 21, depicting a small town atmosphere.
Our Hyde screaming distrust
Our hidden selves expressing distrust.
Our pride not speaking at all now
Pride preventing communication altogether.
When we tapped out when we tapped
Reference to a moment of quitting or giving up.
And couldn't tear the walls down
Unable to break down the emotional barriers.
Tear the walls down
Repetition emphasizing tearing down walls.
Despite all the years, and the codes, and the keys
Despite the passage of time, rules, and access, I find myself alone.
Now I'm powdering my nose alone over porcelain sinks
Using substances alone in a reflective moment over porcelain sinks.
Despite all the years, and the codes, and the keys, keys
Repetition of the challenges posed by time, rules, and access.
He and she and you and me — we know
Reiteration of the collective awareness among him, her, you, and me.
I'll always be your Daisy, my baby
Restating the commitment as "your Daisy."
Blowing Os on x at The Stone, you saved me
Repeating the impact of The Stone on blowing smoke rings.
Now I'm caving for ya
Repeating the intense desire for you.
Now I'm waiting for ya
Reiterating the anticipation of your presence.
Still all fun and games when the party's spent
Emphasizing the enjoyment when the party is ongoing.
But what do we do when the after party ends
Pondering the next steps when the after-party concludes.
Still all fun and games when the party's spent
Reiteration of the enjoyment during the ongoing party.
But what do we do when the after party ends
Raising the question of what to do when the after-party concludes.
