Forever
Above & Beyond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't show your teeth
Don't look confused
Don't hide away
Behind the lies you used
Get more for less
Giving fifty per cent
Learn to embrace the things you choose
And I hate to say it
Can't see the clouds
When the orchards bloom
Can't move mountains
When I'm pushing on my own
Won't let the hurt consume me
I'll keep the knife that you left in me
Don't waste your time
Just stand your ground
All is well and good
I didn't think you'd mind
Don't second guess
This is not your mess
They'll live and learn I think you'll find
Can't see the clouds
When the orchards bloom
Can't move mountains
When I'm pushing on my own
Won't let the hurt consume me
I'll keep the knife that you left in me
Can't see the clouds
When the orchards start to bloom
Can't move mountains
When I'm pushing on my own




When I'm pushing on my own
When I'm pushing on my own

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Forever" by Above & Beyond explore themes of isolation, despair, and the search for meaning in life. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer awakening to another day filled with emptiness and struggles that feel fruitless. The repeated refrain of "Lost in forever" reveals a sense of entrapment and the feeling of being unable to escape the never-ending cycle of pain and longing. The lines "Is this a nightmare/Am I in someone else's dream/Give me a soul to redeem" suggest that the singer may feel disconnected from reality and is seeking redemption or a sense of purpose to ground them.


The contrast between the world of "shattered skies" and the desire to search for a heart and life demonstrates the paradoxical nature of existence. The song seems to be asking if there is any hope of finding meaning in a world that often feels meaningless. The plea for someone to "let me out" and "deliver my soul" expresses a longing for release from the emptiness that surrounds the singer.


Overall, "Forever" is a hauntingly beautiful reminder that even when life feels like a never-ending cycle of pain and despair, the search for meaning and purpose is still worth pursuing.


Line by Line Meaning

Another daybreak
Yet another morning, another beginning of a day


Another dawn to waste away
Another sunrise to pass aimlessly


Another struggle in vain
Another effort that will yield no fruitful results


Out of the empty
From the void, from nothingness


From out the void to die again
Returning to death after coming from nothingness


What is the reason, the gain
What is the purpose or benefit of this cycle of life and death


Somebody let me out, I'll pay the toll
Wishing for release from this cycle, willing to pay any price to be freed


Somebody free me from this hell and deliver my soul
Asking for someone to liberate them from this endless cycle and save their soul


Lost in forever
Perpetually trapped and unable to escape


In a world of shattered skies
Living in an environment in ruins and destruction


I am reaching for my life
Trying to hold onto their sense of self and existence


While the centuries fall apart
Watching time crumble and disintegrate


I am searching for my heart
Seeking to find their emotional center and reason for being


Is this a nightmare
Questioning whether their existence is a tormenting dream


Am I in someone else's dream
Wondering if they are simply a character in another's dream


Give me a soul to redeem
Asking for an opportunity to make amends for past mistakes and save their soul


Is this the after
Questioning whether this is the afterlife


An ever endless world of pain
A world of infinite suffering and torment


To drive the faithful insane
The pain and suffering that can drive even the most devout to madness


Lost in the vast of eternity
Trapped in the vast expanse of time and space


Nowhere to go, no one to be
Without direction or purpose


Trapped in the silent infinity
Stuck in the vast and quiet universe


Forever yearning, never free
Longing for freedom but forever unable to attain it
