SEARCHING FOR AN AFTERGLOW? Lyrics – FKA twigs

FKA twigs has this knack for turning fleeting moments into something eternal, and “SEARCHING FOR AN AFTERGLOW?” captures that perfectly as the lead teaser from her upcoming album EUSEXUA Afterglow, set to drop on November 14, 2025, via Young Recordings and Atlantic. Building right off the heels of her 2025 powerhouse EUSEXUA—that raw, euphoric dive into techno raves and human transcendence—this new project isn’t just a follow-up; it’s the comedown turned craving. Fresh from her tour and festival runs, where she owned stages with industrial beats and body paint, twigs is channeling that post-rave haze into something intimate yet expansive.

This opening snippet floats between contrasts—the bluest sky against the deepest night, a slushy melting into a perfect home, a sweet goodbye in a lover’s eyes. It’s poetic fragments that feel like diary entries from the edge: “A honey comb / A bowl of rice / A shoulder / A heart of lies / Last night she… / To rest upon / Accoutrements / Someone to phone.” Over glitchy synths and reversed vocals (echoing those Brooklyn listening party previews), twigs’ voice layers vulnerability with desire, like piecing together the morning after a night that stripped you bare.

What makes “SEARCHING FOR AN AFTERGLOW?” click with the rest of EUSEXUA Afterglow is that shared thread of liberation through chaos. Think alongside the synth-drenched “Cheap Hotel” (track five, out now with its provocative video starring the Clermont Twins), or the atmospheric builds hinted in pre-order teases—tracks that honor the rave’s end but ignite the search for more. In a year where twigs redefined pop’s boundaries, this album promises to push further, blending her dance background with lyrics that hit like whispered secrets. Dive into the SEARCHING FOR AN AFTERGLOW? lyrics below and chase that euphoric haze. Don’t miss other EUSEXUA Afterglow previews like Cheap Hotel for more of twigs’ transcendent fire.
