After Hours
Chasing Shadows in the After Hours: Unraveling Phantom Planet's Mysterious Tale
Lyrics
Watching everybody leaving
Observing everyone leaving.
I tell myself, "Looks can be deceiving"
Telling oneself that appearances can be misleading.
Oh, I'm hoping that I'm not dead right
Expressing hope that the assumption of death is incorrect.
This after hours, afterlife
Referring to a period after regular hours, possibly metaphorical or related to nightlife. Mentioning an afterlife theme.
I'm not ready to die in style tonight
Not willing to face a stylish death tonight.
Tried to follow you out
Attempting to follow someone, but uncertain of their destination.
But I did not know where you'd be leading on
Not knowing where the person being followed is leading.
And you might think people don't live through being dead wrong
Suggesting that people can survive or endure being fundamentally wrong.
Well I guess that your parents must have raised a themselves a strictly pious daughter
Speculating about the upbringing of the person, hinting at a strict and devout background.
'Cause you move through this crowd
Describing the person's movement through a crowd with ease, like parting water.
Just like parting water
(Empty line, no specific information provided.)
Oh you dress so nice
Complimenting the person on their elegant dressing.
You dress to kill
Emphasizing that the person dresses to impress or with the intention to cause harm.
They drop like flies
People are collapsing or failing in some way in response to the person's actions.
But who's the funeral for?
Raising a question about the purpose of the numerous casualties – asking who the funeral is for.
Afterwhile these hot, hot nights can turn everything sour
Anticipating that enjoyable and intense nights can lead to negative consequences or regrets.
Oh, I know it's not hard to get in trouble after hours
Acknowledging the ease with which one can get into trouble during late hours.
