Eternity
Eternal Promises and Broken Trust: Unraveling the Meaning Behind Shadowcaster's 'Eternity'
Lyrics
There is not a love under the sky
Expressing that true love should not cause pain or sorrow.
That should break you, or shake you, or make you cry
Reinforcing the idea that genuine love should be enduring and not lead to emotional distress.
But I know that by the morning light
Awareness that the opportunity to express farewell is limited to the morning light.
There won't be time for me to say goodbye
Anticipating a situation where there won't be time to bid farewell.
Hand in hand, never stopping to meet eyes
Describing a close connection, symbolized by walking hand in hand without making eye contact.
Walking through with a loud and crowded mind
Navigating through life with a busy and distracted mind.
Open doors, and block the city sight
Encountering both opportunities and obstacles in the city.
Now's the only chance for us to find
Highlighting the urgency to seize the current moment for mutual discovery.
When you promised me
Reflecting on a promise made by the partner.
That you wouldn't leave
Recalling the commitment not to part ways.
And it would be eternity for us
Expressing the hope for an eternal bond.
But then you creep
Noting a breach of trust as the partner behaves unexpectedly.
To the city streets
Describing the partner's departure to the city streets.
And the messy sheets are what's left to touch
Conveying the aftermath of the departure through messy sheets.
So what now?
Pondering the current situation and questioning what comes next.
Your perfume still lingers in my room
Noting the lingering presence of the partner's perfume in the room.
What if it had stayed the same?
Contemplating the possibility of the relationship remaining unchanged.
I fell too hard, to fast, and you're to blame
Taking responsibility for falling too quickly and attributing blame to the partner.
When you promise me
Reiterating the promise not to part ways.
That you wouldn't leave
Expressing the desire for an eternal connection despite challenges.
And it would be Eternity for us
Comparing the departing partner to leaves in an autumn breeze, signifying a sudden and unsettling departure.
And just like leaves
Reflecting on the loss of trust caused by the partner's actions.
In an autumn breeze
Reiterating the commitment to an eternal bond.
You've shaken away all my trust
Wondering about the partner's whereabouts during the dark times.
When you promised me
Recalling the promise of an enduring connection.
That you wouldn't leave
Emphasizing the expectation of eternity despite uncertainties.
And it would be eternity for us
Referencing the idea of eternity as the speaker drifts into sleep.
As I go to sleep
Expressing curiosity about the partner's whereabouts during the dark hours.
I start wondering
Contemplating the partner's disappearance and questioning the reasons behind it.
Where did you go in the dark?
Pondering the partner's actions and whereabouts during the night.
