Afterwards
Journey of Redemption: Exploring Life's Twists in 'Afterwards'Lyrics
Funny how
Reflecting on the curious nature of events
It all disappears
Things vanish or fade away unexpectedly
One minute you’re king then
One moment in a position of power, the next in a vulnerable state
you’re on your knees
Experiencing a sudden downfall or vulnerability
Pick up the keys as you go
Take necessary items and leave swiftly
And please turn the sign on the door
Request to close the door or move on
It’s all done
Tasks are completed or situations have ended
The suits packed away
Belongings are packed away
The heaviest hand couldn’t make me stay
No force could persuade to remain
The casualties fall to the ground
People affected negatively by the departure
Praying that I’ll turn around
Hoping for a change of decision or return
But this is the way this story closes
This marks the end of this narrative
The words just fell quietly to the page
Words spoken softly and penned down
Just one more step, and with no regrets
Willingness to proceed without remorse
I’ll walk till I find a place I hope that I’ll never leave
Searching for a place of permanence
When I’m there I’ll try to find the man in me
Seeking self-identity upon arrival
Don’t fight
Advocating against resistance or conflict
There’s no need to rush
Urging patience as events unfold naturally
Everything will just turn out the way it does
Trusting in the organic course of events
It’s tempting to follow the stars
Feeling enticed by possibilities
With a cold and hopeless regard
Approaching those possibilities with a sense of despair
There is nothing nothing to fear
Assurance that there's nothing to be afraid of
In the end it all becomes clear
Clarity emerges as events unfold
For now I’ll just follow the call
Following an inner calling or intuition
And pick myself up if I fall
Resilience in facing setbacks
