Eternity
Dee Ba Feat. Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing's changed since you've gone away
I still feel the same inside
And the dues I pay
Won't match the interest in the words
I meant to say
When I said just let it slide
Don't worry about me
But try to pave the way
Avoid an early grave
Knowing all the while you ran away
From here and into the blue
To find some magic waiting for you
Away from here and to his arms
Where you can be together for eternity
And by the way
I threw those papers in the mail just yesterday
Please sign them when you can
And when I'm lost and feeling lonesome
For the moments in the past
I remember what I've done
Incredibly low down
My empty ears have got to hear the sound
Of your laugh today, how I wished you stayed
Now I find the time has come to run away
From here
And into oblivion, embrace my insecurity
Away from here to a place nobody knows
Content to be a loner
For eternity
I tried to make my case, pining to see your
Smiling face again
And hold you through the night
But I know that's dream
A grinding gear in bad machinery
My timing isn't right
And now my day is gone
The morning light will hurt my eyes before too long, but help my find a way
To lose myself today, my ego knows
It's to time to run away
From here
And into oblivion
Mired in obscurity
Away from here to a place I'll never grow and
I can be unhappy for eternity
The lyrics to Dee Ba Feat. Moon's song "Eternity" center around the theme of mortality and the desire for eternal life. The song opens with the acknowledgement that as much as humans try, we cannot last forever. The singer suggests that for the sake of a better life, that one should try to live forever, even though we know it is impossible. The lines "Oh the sun is ours / Yeah we try and live together / For the way we were / Let's try and live forever" suggests that humans should try to make the best of their lives and live together in harmony for the little time they have. The next verse speaks about the singer's desire to live life to the fullest, to feel many different things and try new experiences.
The refrain of the song, "Patience I try to learn / But I find / I just want to be alive / Oh I want to feel / As many things / That make me want to try / Oh" reinforces the desire for life and the impatience that comes with it. The second verse continues with the theme that we cannot last forever, and even though we try, we will eventually crumble. The heart of hearts is bleeding, and it keeps beating, but the world will keep rocking, and we're just a fleeting moment in time.
