An Anthem For The Young At Heart
Amber Pacific Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The pulsing hearts, the pounding beats
I'm holding everything inside and hope the stars align tonight
Don't close your eyes just stare in mine
Watch colors fade suspend in time
Our love at last just you and I
Let's hide ourselves from everyone
As moments freeze let's make believe
We'll always be forever young
Soon the night will come, our silhouettes in the setting sun
I feel the heat, the summer scene
Like standing in a living dream
Like flashing lights from movie screens
This feels so right I can't believe
We sit so still, so close, so near
These hearts will wave so loud and clear
Let's close our eyes and disappear
Let's hide ourselves from everyone
Just take my hand and we can run
As moments freeze let's make believe
We'll always be forever young
Soon the night will come, our silhouettes in the setting sun
Let's hide ourselves from everyone
Just take my hand and we can run
As moments freeze let's make believe
We'll always be forever young
Soon the night will come
Let's hide ourselves from everyone
Just take my hand and we can run
As moments freeze let's make believe
We'll always be forever young
Soon the night will come, two silhouettes in the setting sun
In "An Anthem For The Young At Heart" by Amber Pacific, the singer is caught up in the beauty of the scene around them and the intensity of their emotions. They are hopeful that everything will fall into place for them to be together tonight, as they hold onto everything inside. As they gaze into each other's eyes, they want to forget the world around them and make believe that they will always be forever young. They want to share an experience in which they hide themselves from everyone and run away together, entranced by the moment and each other. The song creates a romantic and slightly escapist vision of youth and love.
The lyrics showcase the power of living in the moment and the passion and intensity that come with young love. The singer seems to be in awe of their surroundings and deeply connected to his or her partner, immersing themselves in their shared experience. The desire to make believe that they will be forever young is an expression of the fear of losing the intense emotions and experiences that come with youth.

Let's close our eyes and disappear
Let's escape into this perfect moment and forget about everything else
