Afterlife Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The heavier the rain
The heavier the snow
The heavier the weight
After watching you go
The smile on your face
As the music starts to play
To empty your brain, oh
A form of escape, oh

[Chorus]
Dance with your eyes wide shut
Forty degrees ’round us
Holding you closer than before
The only way I’m letting you go
Is if I can’t see my hands
If my heart beats one less
Faster than it’s ever before
All that I ask of you is one more dance

[Verse 2]
But only if you can
‘Cause while they stare at us
It wouldn’t make sense for us
To stop the music from playing
Heart’s still racing
All I’m saying is
Most of these people don’t mean nothing
They don’t mean nothing, so

[Chorus]
Dance with your eyes wide shut
Forty degrees ’round us
Holding you closer than before
The only way I’m letting you go
Is if I can’t see my hands
If my heart beats one less
Faster than it’s ever before
All that I ask of you is one more dance

[Outro]
Right foot, left foot, dance, dance
Give me one more dance, dance
Hold on to my hands, oh

Afterlife Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The opening verse sets the emotional tone of the song by using natural elements like rain and snow to symbolize the increasing emotional weight the protagonist feels after witnessing someone leave. The line “The smile on your face / As the music starts to play” juxtaposes a fleeting moment of joy against the backdrop of sadness, portraying a sense of escape through the act of dancing. The music serves as a way for the protagonist to “empty your brain,” highlighting the need to shut out everything but the connection being shared in this moment.

[Chorus]
The chorus emphasizes the urgency of the protagonist’s desire to hold onto the moment, with the repeated plea for “one more dance.” The phrase “Dance with your eyes wide shut” evokes a sense of surrender, where the protagonist is fully immersed in the act, disconnected from the world around them. The lyrics “The only way I’m letting you go / Is if I can’t see my hands” intensify the emotional stakes, implying that only when they lose complete physical and emotional control will they be able to let go. This desire to hold on contrasts sharply with the inevitability of departure.

[Verse 2]
In this verse, the protagonist expresses defiance against the judgment of others who may be watching them. The line “Most of these people don’t mean nothing” suggests that the opinions of onlookers are irrelevant compared to the connection the protagonist shares with the other person. The protagonist acknowledges the external pressures but insists that the moment they are sharing is worth more than any outside influence, reinforcing the theme of finding solace and meaning in each other amidst chaos.

[Chorus]
The second chorus reiterates the emotional plea for one more dance, emphasizing the protagonist’s longing to preserve this intimate moment. The repeated lines suggest an almost obsessive need to hold onto the connection, with the physical sensations described in the lyrics (“If my heart beats one less / Faster than it’s ever before”) symbolizing the protagonist’s willingness to surrender everything, even their own heartbeat, for just a little more time together.

[Outro]
The outro captures the frantic urgency of the song’s narrative, with the rhythmic repetition of “Right foot, left foot, dance, dance.” This final plea for “one more dance” is both literal and metaphorical, symbolizing the protagonist’s desperate attempt to maintain control over the moment. The act of holding on to the other person’s hands signifies a desire to preserve the intimacy and emotional connection, even as the music begins to fade and the moment slips away. The outro leaves the listener with an intense feeling of longing, underscoring the central themes of the song.
