After is a track from Li Yin’s 1st album, I Will. This song shows off the strong and independent strength of a girl. Li Yin’s strong vocal really blew me off every time I listened to this song.
This song has no MV for it but I’m planning to do one since I like this song so much. I’m doing a One-Shot story based on this song but since I’m quite busy with other things, I got a writer-block lately.
After or Hou is a Chinese song with a deep meaning. It’s the opposite of Timeless, her first single. Timeless is a promise between two lovers. But After is a sad song that implies the aftermath of a broken relationship.
“Love is an extravagant form of loneliness”
This line means how the love that once the source to warm the heart turned into the loneliness that couldn’t even be bear by one’s heart. From the lyrics, we know the girl leave the guy first but she never realized how much it hurts until the guy choose to leave.
“My breath is dying down, tears are mocking my foolishness
My heart has no energy left to turn back”
My heart has no energy left to turn back”
These lines indicate that she realized that she’s wrong but she knew, it just couldn’t be changed and as a result, she lose faith which is the source of energy for the heart. Faith is one of the most powerful things in the world. It can make you smile but yet kill you at the same time... Why? Because when you keep your faith in the wrong things, you’re holding onto things that aren’t yours and thus it’ll slowly kill you… Aren’t you going to agree with me?
Lyrics Translation
After
For me who had already lost my memories
Love is an extravagant form of loneliness
My shaking hands, the warmth that can’t be caught
My heart had already fell to pieces
(I DON'T KNOW) why you left
(I DON'T KNOW)
(I DON'T KNOW) your love
(I DON'T KNOW) will never return
Love has no excuses
There was a time in this world where you were the sole beauty
The gray sky; the end of memory lane
Ever since I lost you
My heart finally knew how much it hurt
For me whose heart had already stopped beating
Is shrinking into the distant background
My breath is dying down, tears are mocking my foolishness
My heart has no energy left to turn back…
(I DON'T KNOW) why you left
(I DON'T KNOW)
(I DON'T KNOW) your love
(I DON'T KNOW) will never return
Love has no excuses
There was a time in this world where you were the sole beauty
The gray sky; the end of memory lane
Ever since I lost you
My heart finally knew how much it hurt…
(I DON'T KNOW)
(I DON'T KNOW)
(I DON'T KNOW) You said you’d leave NO NO NO NO NO NO
(I DON'T KNOW)......
The lonely melody; the suffocating air
A lost love is the only reality
Who is willing to hear me out?
My heartbreaking cries, my longings till the end
It was then did I know that only pain was left
(No more turning back)
(Love has no excuses)
(There was a time in this world) this world (you were the sole beauty)
(The gray sky; the end of memory lane)
(Ever since I lost you) you’ve left already (my heart finally knew how much it hurt…)
After I left you
Love is an extravagant form of loneliness
My shaking hands, the warmth that can’t be caught
My heart had already fell to pieces
(I DON'T KNOW) why you left
(I DON'T KNOW)
(I DON'T KNOW) your love
(I DON'T KNOW) will never return
Love has no excuses
There was a time in this world where you were the sole beauty
The gray sky; the end of memory lane
Ever since I lost you
My heart finally knew how much it hurt
For me whose heart had already stopped beating
Is shrinking into the distant background
My breath is dying down, tears are mocking my foolishness
My heart has no energy left to turn back…
(I DON'T KNOW) why you left
(I DON'T KNOW)
(I DON'T KNOW) your love
(I DON'T KNOW) will never return
Love has no excuses
There was a time in this world where you were the sole beauty
The gray sky; the end of memory lane
Ever since I lost you
My heart finally knew how much it hurt…
(I DON'T KNOW)
(I DON'T KNOW)
(I DON'T KNOW) You said you’d leave NO NO NO NO NO NO
(I DON'T KNOW)......
The lonely melody; the suffocating air
A lost love is the only reality
Who is willing to hear me out?
My heartbreaking cries, my longings till the end
It was then did I know that only pain was left
(No more turning back)
(Love has no excuses)
(There was a time in this world) this world (you were the sole beauty)
(The gray sky; the end of memory lane)
(Ever since I lost you) you’ve left already (my heart finally knew how much it hurt…)
After I left you
