About This Track

'Afterthoughs' by Greywind is an alternative track from the album 'Afterthoughts', released in 2016. The lyrics move through a bruised sort of self-recovery, with images of waiting, burying clouds, and rising out of the “worst”. There is a sense of being swept off course, left stranded after a mistake, and scanning the wreckage for what remains. The final lines turn the grief into a specific absence, as the singer searches for someone whose face is nowhere to be found.

"Afterthoughs" is a track by Greywind, from the album Afterthoughts, released 6th September 2016. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about Greywind.

Lyrics

Afterthoughs

[Verse 1]

I bury the clouds I've waited years to slay

If only clarity found me in my last mistake

I rise from the worst, a rest from the depths of this instead

I'm swept onto rocks, a shipwreck, a mess

I find myself looking for what I have left back on the shore

I can't find your face, I follow fresh footprints back to my place

Would you do it again?

Would you do it again?

Would you do it again?

[Chorus]

I found this kingdom myself

I left you with roses grown in hell

And I can't see you, I can't see you again

I found this kingdom myself

Solace will find you, wait and dwell

But I can't see you, I can't see you again

Silence ensues

[Verse 2]

I've buried the clouds I've waited years to slay

If only clarity found me, then would I have been saved?

I'd rise from the worst, a rest from the depths of this instead

I'm swept onto rocks, a shipwreck, a mess

I find myself looking for what I have left back on the shore

I can't find your face, I follow fresh footprints back to my place

Wouldn't do it again

[Chorus]

I found this kingdom myself

I left you with roses grown in hell

And I can't see you, I can't see you again

I found this kingdom myself

Solace will find you, wait and dwell

But I can't see you, I can't see you again

Silence ensues

Silence ensues

[Bridge]

Would you do it again?

Would you do it again?

Would you do it again?

Would you do it again?

Would you do it again?

I wouldn't do it again

Would you do it again?

I wouldn't do it again

[Chorus]

I found this kingdom myself

I left you with roses grown in hell

And I can't see you, I can't see you again

I found this kingdom myself

Solace will find you, wait and dwell

But I can't see you, I can't see you again
