Forever
Eternal Struggle: Finding Hope Amidst Loss
Lyrics
VERSE 1
Introduction to the questioning of current circumstances
What happens now?
Raising the question about the current situation
You stand in the crowd
Observation of being present among others
They’re all on the ground
Others are facing challenges or difficulties
You hear no sound
Noticing a lack of response or acknowledgment
CHORUS
Transition to the chorus
You’re all alone, Forever
Expressing a sense of enduring solitude
It’s right to cry, Why did they have to die?
Questioning the reason for the loss with an acknowledgment of grief
You’re all alone, Forever
Reiteration of enduring isolation
You have to fight, to not would be a crime
Emphasizing the necessity to resist despair
VERSE 2
Transition to the second verse
You make your way home
Returning home alone
All on your own
Emphasizing individuality and independence
What did they know?
Raising questions about the knowledge or understanding of others
Too much
Suggesting excessive knowledge
VERSE 3
Transition to the third verse
You make it home, all on your own
Reiterating the journey home and solitude
Time stands still for a minute or two
Reflection on a momentary pause in time
You find the box, that’s got the lock
Discovery of a box with a lock
They said to open if anything should happen
Recalling instructions to open the box in case of an event
You peer inside, what’s on your mind
Curiosity about the contents of the box
What you find is that you’re never alone
Realization that one is never truly alone
They had some friends that tried to mend
Mention of friends attempting to mend the world
The world around them
Reference to efforts to improve the surroundings
CHORUS
Return to the chorus with a shift in perspective
You’re not alone, Forever
Acknowledging shared experiences and support
You’ve had your cry, now get on with your life
Encouragement to move forward after expressing grief
You’re not alone, Forever
Reassurance of companionship and the need to resist despair
You have to fight, to not would be a crime
Emphasis on the imperative nature of resilience
