“Afterglow” is a B-side off of the “I Think I’m Paranoid” single.
A slow, dreary tune, “Afterglow” sees Shirley advising the listener to be themself, and love themself instead of trying to be someone they’re not.
Center on the wide horizon
Focus on the galaxy
Sweep away your expectations
And recognize your enemies
But here you're talking to yourself
You're stripping off for someone else
You've got to learn to love yourself
It's all that counts, there's little else
[Instrumental Interlude]
You're always looking for affection
And all its possibilities
Your sense of searching for attention
In urgent need of gravity
I think you think you're someone else
You've got to learn to save yourself
Before you find there's nothing left
But bitterness and hollowness
And afterglow
And afterglow
Afterglow was written by Duke Erikson & Steve Marker & Butch Vig & Shirley Manson.
Afterglow was produced by Garbage.
