Discover the story of the song > Padania – Afterhours

The lyrics talk about a place where the protagonist was born and will eventually die. They mention that when a dream attaches to the soul, it becomes real, but the protagonist's partner doesn't seem to understand this. The lyrics discuss the idea of fighting against a personal demon when dictatorship resides within oneself. The protagonist fights, betrays, and kills for what they deserve, until they forget what it is they truly want. The lyrics also touch on the idea of being a part of a love that ended badly and being a part of a cruel history. They mention the need to break free from faith and finally fall, acknowledging that this nothingness is smarter than us. The chorus repeats the idea that the protagonist can almost have what they want, but they still don't remember what it is they truly desire.
