August Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing lasts forever. You’ve only planned for the here and now.
I said: Nothing lasts forever. Live fast, die young.
Live fast and die young. It’s what’s ahead, but just remember:
slow and steady wins the race, so pick your head up and keep your mouth shut.
You are the captor of originality. You are the thief of authenticity.
You’re forsaken. Forsaken on this mountain. The bridges have turned to ash.
This is your final hour. This is your great fall.
You won’t make it out alive, so say your dearest goodbyes.
You are Goliath standing firm in your light. We are David and you’re in our sights.
You are Goliath standing firm in your light. We are David and you’re in our sights.
Your dreams have come true. Have you forgotten the reason why?
Life, death, dreams, wealth - nothing lasts forever.
Greed, envy, gluttony will amount to nothing. Nothing lasts forever.
The earth is about to quake. The earth is about to quake. The earth is about to quake.
Brace for impact. Run for the hills. Brace for impact. It’s a long way home.
Brace for impact. Run for the hills. You’ll surely end here.
Goliath, we’re screaming your name. Goliath, we’re coming for you.
The lyrics of "40 Nights" by August Burns Red appear to be a warning of the perils of living only in the present without considering the future. The first verse speaks to living life in the fast lane, always focused on immediate pleasure without any thought of potential consequences. The line "nothing lasts forever" reiterates this point, suggesting that eventually, this type of lifestyle will come crashing down. The chorus then plays off the juxtaposition of living fast and dying young versus the idea of slow and steady progress. It urges listeners to pick their head up and keep their mouth shut, perhaps indicating the importance of listening to others and learning from their mistakes.
The second verse seems to shift focus slightly, calling out those who lack originality and authenticity. The lines "respect is something that you'll never see" and "everything you write all sounds the same" suggest that this person has sacrificed integrity for success. The chorus then morphs into a battle cry, with the band portraying themselves as David facing off against Goliath. The bridge brings things full circle, reminding listeners of the fleeting nature of life and material possessions. The final repetition of "brace for impact" seems to indicate that time is running out and that the consequences of these actions are imminent.
