“After the Death” is Orkhan Efendi’s 6th composition, based on simplification of the situation that we are going to experience from the end of the life. The song has also drawn to itself some novelties in the genre, where Orkhan has applied to harsh vocal elements but again together with bluesy features.

This is about revoking all beliefs, fantasies and illusions envisaged by the people on after the mortality and relying on the nude matters. The song claims in general, that simply nothing special is going to happen to us when we will die and it is merely being turned to inanimate as well as lifeless creature, not being able to feel and perceive anything.

The lyrics is starting with questions which author puts forward to himself: “Will I perceive that I have died or get lost in the oblivion inside?”. He is wondering whether there would be any consciousness and awareness in the time of being dead that we could notice. 

In the refrain, those questions are being continued to flow, but this time he is indicating that being in after the death is actually “turning to be just nothing and existing no more.” There is no here or there, being dead means staying nowhere. Reaching the death point simply signifies the moment that we disappear. The death is the eternal dream, because when we sleep, unconsciousness is underwent by us most of the time. And the death is the same circumstance, yet just permanent one. 

After the death is just going back to the place, as we were in the past. This idea in the first refrain is strongly followed and elaborated in the second couplet and the second refrain. 

We did not exist in the past. Did not sense and feel ourselves. I have not told to me “my life will come in the future” and therefore there is no chance to say after the death “hey, I have now died!”, since it is not the state to understand our situation, to conceptualize and grasp our non-existence, because lifeless-beings could not feel anything. 

And what did we feel in the past? Before our death? In 1943, for example, did we feel anything? Until our birth there was nonentity. Over the hundreds, even billions of years till our creation, no chance emerged for us to perceive ourselves. 

Just the same condition will come to us again, after dying. From being nothing we have started our journey right after the creation, which ends as a result of the death. Thus, this travel or stay was just temporary and at the end there will be the time to conclude this evanescent for getting lost in the infinity of permanence, which never expires, does not have boundaries, this is utter nullity.

At the end, the author mentions that besides all those magical and imperceptible posture, there are no expectations and assumptions on being immortal, because the death time will early or sooner will reach us and hit our life completely. There is no escape point to get away from that moment, which everybody will absolutely come up eventually.

“After the Death” is the song with progression construction, where especially vocal parts are evolving through the parts of music, starting from bass notes and reaching the highest one possible to sing for the that performer. At the end of each part there is a “high fry screaming” to culminate each section, which has main messages of the song such as “Existing no more!” and “We all will die!”. 

“After the Death” merely simplifies our hypothesis and assumptions we used to believe and obliterates all unrealistic views of having “life” after our end. The idea behind accepts the non-existence later our extinction. It was recorded in July, 2017. The lyrics and the music of the song belong to Orkhan Efendi.

“Eradication all groundless fantasies pushes us to be more responsible to our life and respect the time, because the end means the end. In “After the Death” it is intended to set forward materialistic and secular approaches, invite people to see the circle of the life through the authenticity.”
