After The Afterlife Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Fribot 

Cover art for After The Afterlife lyrics by Chad Vangaalen

This song seems to be about an individual who's memories of their parents have crippled them in some way. The seaweed is like the shackles of the sea. So as the individual thinks about their parents they feel stuck. However, in the end of the song they seem to be dreaming of freedom of some sort. This is possibly from the shadow of their parents and how chad seems to be their lifeline/escape into the open or away from their parents.
