Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Close your eyes now
Don't you cry
It's all right
Lie back
Leave the lights on
It's all right, dear
I'll be here through the night
With you till the first signs of light
Say the word and I'll come tonight
It's all right now
Don't you cry now
Hush
Wipe your tears away
There's never a forever thing
All through the night
I'll try so hard to be there somehow
With you till the first signs of light
Say the word and I'll come
Tonight
Darling, don't you
Cry.
The lyrics of "There's Never A Forever Thing" by A-Ha delve into themes of comfort, reassurance, and impermanence. The singer addresses their loved one, adopting a tender and soothing tone to alleviate their distress. The directive to "close your eyes" and "don't you cry" conveys a sense of calming presence and a desire to offer solace in a moment of vulnerability. The repetition of "It's all right" serves as a mantra to imbue a sense of security and understanding that everything will be okay.
The imagery of leaving the lights on and the promise to stay through the night symbolizes unwavering support and a willingness to endure alongside their beloved, even in the darkness. The mention of being present "till the first signs of light" suggests a commitment to endure difficulties until a new day dawns. The offer to come immediately if needed, encapsulated in "Say the word and I'll come tonight," underscores the singer's readiness to provide comfort and assistance whenever required.
As the song progresses, the refrain of "There's never a forever thing" introduces a poignant reflection on the transience of life and relationships. The acknowledgment that nothing lasts forever, including moments of joy or sorrow, carries a bittersweet resonance. Despite the singer's efforts to be there "through the night" and offer unwavering support, the realization that permanence is elusive permeates the sentiment expressed in the lyrics.
The final plea of "Darling, don't you cry" encapsulates a poignant plea for resilience and strength in the face of life's uncertainties. The juxtaposition of reassurance with the acknowledgment of impermanence creates a complex emotional landscape within the song. Overall, "There's Never A Forever Thing" by A-Ha navigates the delicate balance between offering comfort in the present moment while acknowledging the fleeting nature of existence, ultimately weaving a profound meditation on the transient nature of relationships and the importance of cherishing the moments we have.
