Until the Earth Begins to Part
Eternal Promises: Embracing Love Until the Earth Parts
Lyrics
So, here it is
Introduction of a significant moment or revelation.
My final breath
Expressing the idea of facing mortality or an imminent end.
Our last embrace
Describing a final hug or closeness before a departure.
Before the air, it leaves my lungs
Anticipation of the breath leaving the speaker's body.
Well promise me that you won't be long
A request for a commitment to remember the speaker in their absence.
And say you will
Repetition of a plea for a lasting promise and ownership of the heart.
And say you won't
-And say you will forever own my heart
-And say you will
Reiteration of the plea, emphasizing a commitment enduring beyond a specific event.
And say you won't
-And say you will forever own my heart
-Until the Earth begins to part
Expression of commitment until a significant event, possibly death or a major life change.
And should you stay
Considering the possibility of the other person choosing a life without the speaker.
And choose to wish
-To live your life without me there
-I hope your heart, it cannot grow
Expressing a desire for the person's heart to remain unaffected by guilt.
With all the guilt that you have known
Highlighting the burden of guilt the person may carry.
And say you will
Repetition of the plea for commitment and heart ownership.
And say you won't
-And say you will forever own my heart
-And say you will
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the commitment, lasting until a significant event.
And say you won't
-And say you will forever own my heart
-Until the Earth begins to part
Final affirmation of commitment until a monumental change, possibly the end of the world.
