This song is about the aftermath of the war against drones. The protagonist has finally regained his humanity and has grown stronger in spirit than ever before. He has overcome the challenges he faced during his time in war. 'Aftermath' is about the protagonist going back to someone he loved, who also felt alone and was used like he was used. This song is the protagonist telling his love that even though "walls are rising high again" and "it's no place for the faint-hearted', his heart is strong, and he cannot be controlled/manipulated again. He is coming back home to be her savior and protector against anything that wants to harm her. This song is the reverse of 'Dead Inside'. He is no longer a victim of loneliness and insecurity, he is a hero and a catalyst of hope and strength to his loved one.
