Forever
Eternal Echoes: Nostalgia in the Melodies of Eurythmics
Lyrics
Forever
Expressing the concept of eternity or a very long duration.
Now that you're gone
Acknowledging the absence of someone.
Gone forever
Highlighting the permanent nature of the absence.
But the day goes on forever
Contrasting the lasting nature of the day despite the absence.
When we were young with time to waste
Recalling a time of youth and leisure.
Everything was clear and good
Reflecting on a period of clarity and well-being.
Thought we could live for a thousand years
Believing in the possibility of a lengthy existence.
But yesterday is done and tomorrow's yet to come
Acknowledging the passage of time with yesterday concluded and tomorrow uncertain.
You'll never know
Expressing the unpredictability of life and its outcomes.
Forever
Reiterating the theme of enduring or lasting significance.
Now that you're gone
Reaffirming the sense of loss due to someone's departure.
Gone forever
Emphasizing the irreversibility of the departure.
But the day goes on forever
Contrasting the persistent nature of the day with the transience of human connections.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Expressing emotions with a repeated affirmation of enduring significance.
Forever
Continuing the theme of lasting impact and significance.
And I remember when we were fools
Recalling a time of naivety and lack of understanding.
Everything was me and you
Highlighting a past time when everything centered around the speaker and another person.
Thought we were kings with time to kill
Believing in personal importance and having leisure time.
But yesterday is done and tomorrow's yet to come
Acknowledging the passing of time and the uncertain future.
You live and learn
Encouraging a positive outlook and the process of gaining wisdom through experiences.
Some people never take the time to try
Commenting on the tendency of some people not to explore or take risks in life.
The way you live's the way you die
Connecting the way one lives to eventual death.
The stuff of life's in short supply
Highlighting the scarcity of meaningful experiences in life.
And if it sometimes hits you strong
Suggesting that impactful experiences can be intense or emotionally powerful.
Remembering that things go wrong
Advising to recall that things don't always go as planned.
The song of life is just a song
Viewing life as a transient and impermanent entity, akin to a song.
And everything goes on and on
Expressing the continuity of life despite its ups and downs.
Forever
Reiterating the theme of enduring or lasting significance.
Now that you're gone
Reaffirming the sense of loss due to someone's departure.
Gone forever
Emphasizing the irreversibility of the departure.
But the day goes on forever
Contrasting the persistent nature of the day with the transience of human connections.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Expressing emotions with a repeated affirmation of enduring significance.
Forever
Continuing the theme of lasting impact and significance.
