Forevermore
Eternal Descent: Unraveling Life's Tapestry in Shadows Fall's 'Forevermore'
Lyrics
Threads of life, they start to tear
Threads of life, representing the interconnectedness, are beginning to unravel.
Hang above the pit of our despair
A sense of impending doom hangs over a pit of collective despair.
It seems the end is growing near
The conclusion or culmination appears imminent.
The life you knew will disappear
The familiar life is on the verge of disappearing.
Every human life will overlap and intertwine
Human lives overlap and intertwine, contributing to the fabric and destiny of mankind.
Create the fabric and the destiny of all mankind
The actions and choices of individuals shape the destiny of humanity.
Start the fires 'till they surround
The initiation of challenges or conflicts.
They start the fires burning until they surround
Intensifying the challenges until they surround, possibly signifying overwhelming difficulties.
Is there nothing left, nothing left worth fighting for, fighting for?
Expressing a sense of despair, questioning the existence of anything worth fighting for.
Forevermore, beneath the waterline
Referring to a perpetual state of existence marked by hardships beneath the metaphorical waterline.
Sinking further down, I dwell in silence now
Descending further into silence and isolation.
Awake and face the truth of all that you have lost
A call to confront and accept the truth of losses.
A tongue-tied explanation raining down from scattered thoughts
An inarticulate attempt to explain, with thoughts scattered like rain.
Start the fires 'till they surround
Continuation of the challenges, reinforcing doubts until they cause harm.
They reinforce their doubts until they draw blood
Strengthening doubts until they draw blood, suggesting the severity of internal conflicts.
Is there nothing left, nothing left worth fighting for, fighting for?
Reiterating the sense of hopelessness and the lack of meaningful things to fight for.
Forevermore, beneath the waterline
Reaffirmation of the perpetual struggle beneath the symbolic waterline.
Sinking further down, I dwell in silence now
Deepening into silence and isolation.
Forevermore, I will leave this world behind
Expressing a desire to leave the current world behind, suggesting a longing for escape.
Finally I drown, I dwell in silence now
The final immersion into silence, possibly signifying a surrender or acceptance.
Threads of life, they start to tear
A repetition of the idea of life's threads unraveling, emphasizing the interconnected decay.
Hang above the pit of our despair
The persistent image of impending doom over collective despair.
It seems the end is growing near
Reiteration of the impending end and the disappearance of the known life.
The life you knew will disappear
Reinforcing the idea that the familiar life is about to vanish.
Forevermore, beneath the waterline
Repeating the notion of an enduring struggle beneath the waterline.
Sinking further down, I dwell in silence now
Continued descent into silence and isolation.
Forevermore, I will leave this world behind
Expressing a persistent desire to leave the current world behind.
Finally I drown, I dwell in silence now
The final act of drowning, representing a profound retreat into silence.
