Eternity
E. Bobby G. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This time let's get involved
Rich lives with the info
Two words that you should know
First time was the intro
This time let's get involved
Rich lives with the info
Two words that you should know
What does it profit a man if he makes his own plans
When the outcome is just out of his hands?
A prophet told me that my life is parallel to a tram
Running on my own lane staying free of the jam
I still don't understand what they see in me
Guess that's down to that Lowkey-E in me
Still I frequently fall feet beneath
Praying that one day He'll season me
Preacher said for everything's there's a season in mind
Summer springs and leaves that winter breeze all behind
If you seek you will find
Best believe every line took time
But I got that Kintsugi all in mine
Visions of the life to come make me feel so done
Spinning on this circumference waiting for my turn
Don't know where its coming from make me feel so numb
Just turned 23, double 3 my transition
There's a time and there's a season for every single reason
So let go, He's in control
There's a time and there's a season for every single reason
So let go, He's in control
There's a time and there's a season for every single reason
So let go, He's in control, uh oh
He's in control, uh oh
He's in control, hmm mhmm
In the first verse, E. Bobby G. reflects on his past experiences and how they have influenced his current outlook on life. The phrase "First time was the intro, this time let's get involved" suggests that he is ready to actively participate in life and embrace new opportunities. He references "rich lives with the info," hinting at the valuable knowledge and wisdom he has acquired along the way. He emphasizes the importance of two words that we should know, which could signify a significant message or lesson he wants to share.
The second verse delves deeper into his contemplation of life's purpose and the concept of control. He questions the worth of a person's plans if the outcome is ultimately beyond their control. He alludes to a prophet who compared his life to a tram, highlighting the idea of staying on his own path and avoiding obstacles. Despite this, he admits that he still struggles to comprehend why others see something special in him, perhaps attributing it to a hidden quality or talent represented by "Lowkey-E."
E. Bobby G. introduces religious or spiritual themes in the next lines, mentioning a preacher who talks about seasons in life. He acknowledges that every aspect of life has its own time and purpose, like the changing seasons. The reference to "Kintsugi" suggests a metaphorical connection to the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold lacquer, symbolizing embracing one's flaws and past traumas. He envisions a better future that gives him a sense of completion. However, he also expresses feelings of confusion and numbness, possibly indicating the anxieties and uncertainties that can accompany transitions in life.
The chorus reinforces the idea that there is a natural rhythm and order to life, with appropriate times for every purpose. It encourages surrendering control and letting go, while acknowledging that a higher power is ultimately in control. This repetition emphasizes the importance of accepting this truth and finding peace in it. The "uh oh" and "hmm mhmm" at the end of the chorus adds a sense of contemplation and introspection, as if E. Bobby G. is pondering the significance of these words.
Overall, "Eternity" explores themes of personal growth, surrendering control, and finding meaning in life's seasons. It reflects E. Bobby G.'s journey of self-discovery, as he grapples with his own purpose and identity while seeking guidance and understanding from a higher power.

First time was the intro
The previous experience was just the beginning
This time let's get involved
Now, let's actively participate and engage
Rich lives with the info
True wealth lies in the knowledge
Two words that you should know
There are two important words to remember
What does it profit a man if he makes his own plans
What good does it do if a person tries to control everything
When the outcome is just out of his hands?
When the result is beyond their control
A prophet told me that my life is parallel to a tram
Someone wise explained that my life runs on a set path
Running on my own lane staying free of the jam
I'm staying true to myself and avoiding any obstacles
I still don't understand what they see in me
I'm confused about what others admire in me
Guess that's down to that Lowkey-E in me
Perhaps it's because of my humble and genuine nature
Still I frequently fall feet beneath
Even with my shortcomings, I often stumble
Praying that one day He'll season me
Hoping that God will refine and enhance me over time
Preacher said for everything's there's a season in mind
The preacher emphasized that every situation has its appointed time
Summer springs and leaves that winter breeze all behind
The joyful times replace the difficult times in sequence
If you seek you will find
If you search thoroughly, you will discover
Best believe every line took time
Understand that every statement required careful thought and effort
But I got that Kintsugi all in mine
Just like Kintsugi pottery, I embrace my flaws and imperfections
Visions of the life to come make me feel so done
Imagining the future makes me feel fulfilled and complete
Spinning on this circumference waiting for my turn
Navigating through life in a circular path, patiently waiting for my opportunity
Don't know where its coming from make me feel so numb
Uncertainty about the source of success leaves me feeling numb
Just turned 23, double 3 my transition
Recently celebrated my 23rd birthday, symbolizing a significant period of change
There's a time and there's a season for every single reason
Every purpose and cause has its designated period
So let go, He's in control
Release control and trust in God's guidance
He's in control, uh oh
God has complete authority, uh oh
He's in control, hmm mhmm
He's in control, hmm mhmm
