Discover the story of the song > Emphasis – After Forever

These lyrics talk about how life is like a game and it's time for the protagonist to pay attention and see the world around her. The protagonist is encouraged to think about her own thoughts and ideas and find a way to make them important. Life can be confusing and mysterious, but the protagonist should focus on her own reality and not worry about what others think or feel. Sometimes things happen by chance and sometimes they happen because it's meant to be, and the protagonist should embrace the uncertainty of her destiny. Even though there are things she will never understand, she has the power to shape her own life and make it what she wants it to be.
