The Afterlife Lyrics
She got the antidote she knows the other way
She really understands I don't what the hell to say
I'm on the other side I'm on the other side
I'm in exile to left of a landslide
I got no broken wing
I got the moonshine
I let my enemies slide for the meantime
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Let it go let it go
And I give myself away
When there's nothing left to say
I surrender myself to the wind
Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
with you and me
into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
with you and me
The worries on your face
The stars came out to play
I try to tell myself
I won't mess up again
I try to fix it good
I try to patch it up
I got a manual that tells us how we have to love
Forgot your neighbor forgot your love
Forgot the strength cause you can never get enough
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Let it go let it go
And I give myself away
When there's nothing left to say
I surrender myself to the wind
Love is sinking fast within
Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
With you and me
Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
with you and me
You and me
Come inside, come over here
I remember you through all the years
Don't try to run us down
When the world is at your feet
Don't let the baby bite
(Bite bite)
She got the antidote
She knows the other way
She really under understands
I don't what the hell to say
I'm on the other side
I'm on the other side
I'm in exile to left of a landslide
And I give myself away
When there's nothing left to say
I surrender myself to the wind
Love is sinking fast within
Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
With you and me
Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
with you and me
Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
With you and me
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
With you and me
Into the afterlife
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Let it go let it go
She really understands I don't what the hell to say
I'm on the other side I'm on the other side
I'm in exile to left of a landslide
I got the moonshine
I let my enemies slide for the meantime
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Let it go let it go
When there's nothing left to say
I surrender myself to the wind
Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
with you and me
into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
with you and me
The stars came out to play
I try to tell myself
I won't mess up again
I try to fix it good
I try to patch it up
I got a manual that tells us how we have to love
Forgot your neighbor forgot your love
Forgot the strength cause you can never get enough
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Let it go let it go
When there's nothing left to say
I surrender myself to the wind
Love is sinking fast within
With you and me
Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
with you and me
You and me
I remember you through all the years
Don't try to run us down
When the world is at your feet
Don't let the baby bite
(Bite bite)

She really under understands
I don't what the hell to say
I'm on the other side
I'm on the other side
I'm in exile to left of a landslide
When there's nothing left to say
I surrender myself to the wind
Love is sinking fast within
With you and me
Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
with you and me
With you and me
Why don't you let it go
With you and me
Into the afterlife
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Let it go let it go

Really? First to post here? Heh.
This song's meaning implies two lovers with different standards, referring to the "I let my enemies slide for the mean time", used adjacent to "Why don't you let it go?". Sometimes you need to forget who causes trouble or caused trouble in the past. Because those who do mind don't matter. They need not to be judged or seen anything less than a human being.
I agree with aggregate0072,he has had different values and standards than his lover.He has done things in the past she sometimes can and sometimes can't forget. His more forgiving and is just tryingtosay,"That was then,but this is now...LET IT GO ALREADY!"
The song's title is Afterlife, it has nothing to do with lovers. It's about 2 people (father and son), fighting for the power of God. I (the son), put a fail safe 'curse' on the entire universe, since he wanted to torture everyone. The only other option is not good, but I couldn't get my father to love even anyone, so we shall suffer forever very soon.
To me this song seems to be referring to disappointing someone he loves. He doesn't know what to say, but he is tring to fix it and patch the relationship up. He is surrendering and giving himself to (her) and is asking her to let go of the past and move forward with him. When he says she's got the antidote it's like saying its up to her now to let go of the past and continue forward with him (into the afterlife).
