Immortals
DCappella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But we don′t have to be
I'm bad behavior but I do it in the best way,
I′ll be the watcher (watcher) of the eternal flame,
I'll be the guard dog of all your favorite dreams.
I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass (glass, glass)
I try to picture me without you but I can't.
′Cause we could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long,
And live with me forever now
You pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
We could be immor-immortals
Immooortals
Immooortals
Immoooortals.
Sometimes the only pay off for having any faith
Is when it′s tested again and again everyday
I'm still comparing your past to my future
It might be your wound but they′re my sutures.
I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass (glass, glass)
I try to picture me without you but I can't.
′Cause we could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long,
And live with me forever now
You pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
We could be immor- immortaaals
Immor- immortaaals.
Immortals
And live with me forever now
And pull the blackout curtains down.
We could be immortals, immortaaals
Just not for long, for long,
We could be immor- immortaaals
Immooortals
Immooortals
Immoooortals.
The lyrics of DCappella's song Immortals speak about the desire to live forever and have an immortal legacy. The song is about wanting to be remembered for being different, for being the "bad behavior" done in the best way possible. The lyrics suggest that our time on earth is fleeting, but we can make the most of our time by "being the watcher of the eternal flame" and "the guard dog of all your favorite dreams." The lyricist tries to imagine a life without the other person in the relationship, but they're unable to do it because they have become so intertwined with their partner.
The song also touches upon the idea of faith and how it can be tested daily. The singer compares their own future to their partner's past and how it may cause pain. However, the singer also acknowledges that their partner's wound is their own sutures, and they will be there to help heal the pain. The chorus of the song repeats "we could be immortals" suggesting that they want to live forever and be remembered as such, but they also acknowledge that it's not possible to do so "just not for long, for long."
Overall, the song Immortals is a powerful tribute to the desire for immortality and the legacy we want to leave behind when we die. It's a reminder to make the most of our time on earth and to be the best version of ourselves.

Am I the only one that thinks the lead here sounds a LOT like the FOB original??? THIS WAS SO GOOD!!! I adore a cappella music in the first place, but this was just incredible. I look forward to watching more of them!
Boy B
A Syrdal because I think it is him

As a die-hard fall out boy fan, this dude’s voice is nothing like patrick’s. Yes he can sing, but patrick’s voice is u n i q u e it has like this raspiness that this guy does not have
thebutlers2005

Nuzlock
Umm I think both ptx and DCapella is better!
Purple Turtle
It's amazing how there's no instrument in the background music. It's all voices
Kachang7865
except for the fact that the vocals are so heavily edited and thus takes away from the beauty of it
RustyJames Jacildo
Although the vocal editing is too much.
