Massive Attack – Aftersun Lyrics 16 years ago
"When you were trying to save me.
You forgot to let me go."- The best thing to do is let me go.

"In this freedom we found.
Raining stars down to the ground."-- Being apart seemed like the end of the world.


"And with the truth in your hands.
You concealed it with your lies."-- Didn't want to face the facts.

"In this moment we drowned.
Lost more than we ever found."-- Doing this, we harmed the other more than helped.


Every time I fall I am ascending.
Every time you call me near.
Only when we slip the need is ending.
Mirror I am letting go....


"I cut the orchid down.
I cut the orchid down." - I ended it.

"Hold me now." It's over, but now I need someone. Console me.

I cut the orchid down.
I cut the orchid down.

That's just my insomniac interpretation-lol

Hope someone gets something from this...

Great song. They forgot the last part of the lyrics

"I cut the orchid down.
I cut the orchid down.
Hold me now.
I cut the orchid down.
I cut the orchid down."

Anyways, what thgis song means to moi, is resiliance.

.

.."When I was chasing the fear away.
I forgot to breathe again...."- Looking after other things besides yourself

"In this moment we shine.
Burn to ember every time..."- we think we're doing good, but in the end it more harmful than good.


"When I was trying to shelter.
I forgot to rescue you."-- Looking after yourself and not the other

"In these moments we drown.
Take this rose with thorns to crown."-- Looking at ourselves now, we realise our mistakes. So we experience the pain before the beauty. Or the pain WITH the beauty. It's like irony, taking a rose to be pricked by it.

"Every time I fall I am ascending."- The resiliance I spoke of earlier. Everytime you fall, you catch yourself and get right back up. You learn from your mistakes.

"Every time you call me near." Everytime I come to you, I fall, but I pick myself back up.

"Only when we slip the need is ending." When we see the other mess up, we don't want them around.

"Mirror I am letting go...."- Do what I'm doing, I'm letting you go.


"When you were trying to save me.
You forgot to let me go."- The best thing to do is let me go.
