Cover art for Afterglow lyrics by INXS

It's blissful pop that's what it is: sweet, fizzy, not much substance, yeah the words are somewhat generic, BUT... it sounds great.

I think that it is about letting someone go and living with that sacrifice but in the end what keeps you from dying or being completely lost is the memories you hold on to, the afterglow. But there's a message of hope here, because he says "I will find my way when I see your eyes" and "'til the blinding day when I see your eyes" in the meantime there's a looming sadness "bathed in blue"
