Discover the story of the song > Now The World – Afi

The protagonist is talking about a summer where she created something beautiful, but her partner rejected it. She felt hurt and alone, but she still tried to shine her own light. She looked inside herself and found that the beautiful things she had created had turned gray and lifeless. She closed her eyes and kissed them goodbye. The protagonist then talks about a morning in the summer where she felt alone and sad. She heard people say that her partner had created a miserable boy and blamed her for it. She looked inside herself again and saw that the flowers had turned gray. The protagonist then talks about feeling lost and wanting to hide, but also wanting to find a way back to the people who had created her. She asks her partner if he will cry for her or die with her. The song ends with the protagonist talking about painting the scene from the summer again and wanting her partner to erase it, just like before.
