The Afterparty from BORDERLAND by Sypha

'The Afterparty' is a dark, intense journey into the depths of self-discovery and self-acceptance. It marks the end of the EP's narrative arc - starting with psychological entrapment, moving through a liminal space between life and death, and concluding in the afterlife at a forgotten afterparty. With the EP's driving force and signature blend of catchy melodies and metal riffs, 'The Afterparty' is no exception, delivering powerful breakdowns and a chorus that’s impossible not to sing along to.

Lyrics

You’ve heard that this place is the bottom of the crowd
Scraped up knees, dirty teeth and we’re half dead in a heap
Don’t you know we like it this way, OK

The fun’s not over, cold, I crawl out from my grave
You gave up how to save me
You think that this will change me
But I feel invincible

Unspoken
Lost emotions
How am I coping
With a smile on my face

In fire, in death
They call us the insane
At least they’ll know my name

I’m broken, I’m hurt
I rather like the pain
Watch me disintegrate

Raised from a young age to fit in the grand design
I tried the other lifestyle but the people weren’t so kind

What does it matter if we kill ourselves in time
A force that’s pulling me towards the intoxicating lights

In fire, in death
They call us the insane
At least they’ll know my name

I’m broken, I’m hurt
I rather like the pain
Watch me disintegrate

Resting in my own thrown
Living to the unknown
I’ll never be alone walking with the dead

In fire, in death
They call us the insane
At least they’ll know my name

I’m broken, I’m hurt
I rather like the pain
Watch me disintegrate
