Afterlife

Sexy Suicide's song 'Afterlife' delves into the themes of eternal love, loss, and the yearning for reunion beyond the mortal realm. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that transcends death, with the protagonist expressing a deep longing to be reunited with a lost lover. The imagery of 'cat eyes' and 'corpse in disguise' sets a haunting tone, suggesting a connection that persists even in the face of death. The fog in the dream and blue lips longing for a kiss symbolize the ethereal and unattainable nature of this love, emphasizing the pain of separation.

The chorus highlights the protagonist's willingness to sacrifice their soul to be with their lover on the other side. The stars shining bright and ravens coming back to life evoke a sense of hope and resurrection, suggesting that love can conquer even the finality of death. The repetition of the phrase 'soul is what I sacrificed' underscores the depth of the protagonist's devotion and the extent of their sacrifice. This theme of sacrifice is further reinforced by the lines 'I wanna be at your command' and 'my body knows in what to believe,' indicating a complete surrender to the power of love.

The song also touches on the enduring nature of love and the pain of loss. The lines 'my heart is shaking lost in pain' and 'I’ll never fall in love again' convey the profound grief and emotional turmoil experienced by the protagonist. The imagery of wearing the lover's bones with pride if ever becoming a bride symbolizes a permanent bond that death cannot sever. The recurring motif of the stars and ravens serves as a reminder of the possibility of reunion and the hope that love will ultimately prevail, even in the afterlife.
