Forever Young
Avail Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lets dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait were only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The musics for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders were getting in tune
The musics played by the madmen

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play




So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

@Clauder.

A música "Forever Young" da banda alemã Alphaville é uma canção sobre a passagem do tempo e a importância de manter a juventude de espírito. A letra da música compara a juventude a diamantes, que são eternos. O narrador da música lamenta que a juventude não possa durar para sempre, e deseja que todos possam permanecer jovens para sempre.

A música pode ser interpretada de várias maneiras. Em um nível literal, ela pode ser vista como uma celebração da juventude e um apelo para que as pessoas aproveitem ao máximo a vida. Em um nível mais profundo, a música pode ser interpretada como uma reflexão sobre a natureza da existência humana e o desejo de transcender a morte.

A música começa com uma reflexão sobre a diversidade da humanidade. As pessoas são como água, calor, melodias e ritmos. Todos nós somos únicos, mas todos nós compartilhamos o destino de envelhecer e morrer.

O eu lírico lamenta que a juventude não possa durar para sempre. Ele diz que é difícil envelhecer sem um propósito, e que não quer morrer como um cavalo que se apaga.

A juventude é comparada a diamantes, que são eternos. O eu lírico deseja que todos possam permanecer jovens para sempre, para que possam aproveitar todas as oportunidades que a vida tem a oferecer.

A música termina com uma pergunta retórica. O eu lírico pergunta se as pessoas realmente querem viver para sempre. A resposta a essa pergunta é pessoal, mas a música sugere que a juventude é um estado de espírito que pode ser mantido mesmo na idade adulta.

"Forever Young" é uma música que continua a ser popular décadas após seu lançamento. Ela é uma reflexão universal sobre a passagem do tempo e o desejo de permanecer jovem.
