A Great Big World – Afterglow Lyrics 16 years ago
love this song. my interpretation is that this song is just about life.

I'm not entirely sure what the lines "Annie dreams of others when she's wide awake, wishin' on the beauty that they hide away". Maybe it's about daydreaming about different possibilities.
I would imagine the "afterglow" means heaven or something like it.

but otherwise i think it's just about appreciating life.

KT Tunstall – False Alarm Lyrics 17 years ago
Cam-win, I thought the exact same thing!
I disagree with the abortion theory, although if you want to look at it that way I suppose the lyrics could work with it.
I think drinkinginmydreams had it right. The song just feels depressing all around, and like she's trying to run away from something.
