“Afterlight” is about the glow someone leaves behind long after they’re gone.
▶️ Watch more here:
“Afterlight” is a retro-inspired synth-pop ballad with emotional female vocals, lush 80s textures, and a soft, slow-burning pulse. Blending nostalgia with warmth, the song explores how memories linger — not as pain, but as quiet echoes of something real. With shimmering pads, a driving analog bass, and poetic lyrical storytelling, this track plays like a memory on loop, flickering just below the surface.
If the afterglow still lives in you… this one's for you.
Lyrics
Intro
You’re gone
But the sky still glows
Even stars
Take time to let go
Verse 1
We were gold in the fading light
Fell too fast, burned too bright
Your voice still hums in empty halls
A memory I can’t uninstall
Pre-Chorus
Every sunset feels like you
Painted soft in navy blue
Even when I say I’m fine
You slip back in, line by line
Chorus
You're my afterlight
Still shining when it’s night
Not here, but never far
Like echoes in a car
You're my almost, you're my might
The ghost in every light
I see the world, but not quite right
Since you became
My afterlight
Verse 2
I trace your shadow on the floor
Don’t know what I’m hoping for
Tried to move, but time won’t bend
Where do you go
When we pretend?
Pre-Chorus
I tell the moon to dim your name
But it reflects you all the same
I wear your silence like a ring
Still turning gold
From everything
Chorus
You're my afterlight
Still shining when it’s night
Not here, but never far
Like echoes in a car
You're my almost, you're my might
The ghost in every light
I see the world, but not quite right
Since you became
My afterlight
Bridge
No need for closure, no need for blame
You’re a soft refrain
That still knows my name
Even in dreams, you fade just slow
Enough to feel like letting go
Final Chorus
You're my afterlight
Still glowing in the night
No map, no line, just this ache
You’re every light I didn’t break
You're my maybe, you're my right
The feeling I still fight
But I’d still hold you
In the afterlight
