Anniversary
Eternal Love's Evolution: Aurelio Voltaire's Anniversary Tale
Lyrics
Do I look the same to you? 'Cause I don't feel so.
The speaker questions whether their appearance aligns with their internal feelings.
You know everything must change as time goes by.
Change is an inevitable part of life as time passes.
Though it feels like yesterday when we first met.
Even though time has passed, the memory of their initial meeting feels recent.
I feel I'm sinking deeper.
The speaker feels a deepening sense of despair or sinking emotions.
Do you look the same to me? Well, I don't think so.
The speaker doubts if the other person appears the same to them.
You know everything must change as time goes by.
Reiteration that change is inevitable as time progresses.
Like the flowers that dry, locking inside
Comparing the dried flowers that preserve beauty as a metaphor for internal preservation.
Forever their beauty.
Beauty trapped within time's constraints.
And they said this feeling fades,
Contradicts the belief that emotions fade over time; the feeling grows stronger.
It gets stronger everyday.
The emotional intensity continues to increase despite the notion that beauty fades.
And they said that beauty fades.
Challenging the idea that beauty diminishes; the person addressed is seen as more beautiful than before.
You're more beautiful than ever.
The person's beauty has not declined; they've grown even more attractive.
They said we'd drift away,
Despite the belief that they'd drift apart, they remain together.
We're still standing here.
They have defied the expectation of drifting apart and remain united.
And it feels like everyday is our anniversary.
Every day feels like a celebration of their relationship, not just an annual anniversary.
Well, I stumble through the dark and light a candle
The speaker navigates difficulties by metaphorically lighting a candle.
And the path the wax will take, no one can know.
The outcome of their actions remains uncertain, likened to the unpredictability of melted wax.
And you said it looked like snow or maybe clouds,
A comparison of the appearance of melted wax to something beautiful like snow or clouds.
And I think it looks like heaven.
The speaker finds beauty and resembles it to something heavenly.
So we make it into a ring and make a mold.
They transform something beautiful into a symbol of commitment and create a mold.
And we welt above the flames the whitest gold.
Symbolizing commitment with the creation of a ring made from precious material.
When hot and cold collide what's left in place
When opposites interact, something enduring and permanent remains.
Is forever and ever.
The result of their union is something eternal.
Some say things worth having take some time.
Implying that valuable things require time to develop and mature.
As they get older they get better.
As things age, they often become more valuable or precious.
