Nothing's For Keeps
Ephemeral Embrace: Unraveling the Essence of 'Nothing's For Keeps'
Lyrics
Was it the world that you gave to me
Questioning if what was given to the speaker was the world.
Was it love, or a lesson for me
Wondering if it was love or a lesson provided to the speaker.
When the table's turning
Reflection on a situation where things are changing.
cnd the fire's still burning
Describing a persistent fire despite the turning of the table.
Would you come out
Asking if the person would come out from hiding.
From underneath
Encouraging someone to emerge from beneath something.
What was the last thing you said to me
Recalling the last words spoken to the speaker.
Nothing's for keeps
Stating that nothing is permanent or eternal.
Just figured out
Realization of the significance of the previous statement.
What that meant to me
Understanding the personal impact of the realization.
When the table's turning
Reiteration of a situation where things are changing.
cnd the fire keeps burning inside
Expressing the enduring nature of a fire within.
Would you lay me down
Asking if the person would lay the speaker down.
cnd look in my eyes
Requesting eye contact during an intimate moment.
cnd even though the writing's on the wall
Acknowledging that there are signs or warnings.
We could rise until we fall
Emphasizing the possibility of rising despite challenges.
Never mind the ties we'll cut them all
Ignoring connections or commitments for the sake of love.
Even though we stand to gain nothing at all
Accepting the risk of gaining nothing in pursuit of love.
cnd even though the writings on the wall
Repetition of the idea of rising despite challenges.
We could rise until we fall
Reiteration of the potential for rising despite adversity.
Never mind the ties we'll cut them all
Reaffirming the willingness to sever ties for love.
Even though we stand to gain nothing at all
Acknowledging the potential to gain nothing in the pursuit of love.
Was it the way that you savoured me
Reflecting on the manner in which someone cherished the speaker.
Every last piece
Describing the thoroughness of being savored.
We found our souls
Recalling a moment of deep connection.
Safely under the sheets
Feeling a sense of security under the sheets.
When the table's turning
Reiteration of a changing situation with a yearning heart.
‘Cos my heart keeps yearning for you
Expressing a continuous longing for someone.
Is it too late
Questioning if it is too late to salvage the situation.
Should we admit defeat
Contemplating whether admitting defeat is necessary.
cnd nothing's for keeps
Affirmation that nothing in the situation is permanent.
No, no nothing's for keeps
Repeating the idea that nothing is eternal or everlasting.
Nothing at all
Emphasizing the transient nature of everything.
We could rise
Highlighting the potential for rising despite challenges.
We could rise
Repetition of the idea of rising.
‘Til we fall
Expressing determination to continue until a potential fall.
