"Afterlife" by Slaz
The lyrics depict a sense of independence and self-reliance, with a focus on overcoming heartbreak.

The overall tone conveys a sense of empowerment and the ability to move forward with confidence.
Midnight strikes and I'm by myself
Tell myself I don't need fake love from no one
All I'm worried 'bout is myself
Heartbreak made me wanna open myself to no one
Three strikes and I'm by myself
Tell myself I don't need fake love from no one
I spend nights beside myself
Heartbreak only made me trust me
I gotta good feeling I'ma be all right
But nothing's ever kept me down longer
I dig myself a grave in my own mind
But what hasn't killed me only made me stronger
I hope you're happy, I truly mean it
I know I saved you
Cause the you I used to know no longer bleeding baby
I was toxic, I had to fix it
But I had to feel like I was human first before I did it
Now I've come down and I sleep sound
Cause I've come to peace with everything you told me
You think I sleep under beds and keep skeletons You can't phase me, baby that's the old me
I feel alive tonight
The energy is shifting
Cause you died tonight
To me no longer living
Hope the afterlife
Is everything you wanted
And I thank you for the trouble
I know nothing is for nothing
I feel alive tonight
The energy is shifting
Cause you died tonight
To me no longer living
Hope the afterlife
Is everything you wanted
And I thank you for the trouble
I know nothing is for nothing
Midnight strikes and I'm by myself
Tell myself I don't need fake love from no one
All I'm worried 'bout is myself
Heartbreak made me wanna open myself to no one
Three strikes and I'm by myself
Tell myself I don't need fake love from no one
I spend nights beside myself
Heartbreak only made me trust me
I neglected me without intentions
Of you picking up my pain
Never thought the cloud I carried
Would rain on the whole parade
I felt nauseous for so many nights
I thought that I was ruined
I felt like I was such a monster til I realized I'm human
Midnight strikes and I'm by myself
Tell myself I don't need fake love from no one
All I'm worried 'bout is myself
Heartbreak made me wanna open myself to no one
Three strikes and I'm by myself
Tell myself I don't need fake love from no one
I spend nights beside myself
Heartbreak only made me trust me
