Now Until Forever
Ego Likeness Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This night
While I am dreaming
Searching for you
I have a message, but you're not sleeping
I wade through deep black waters, endless deserts
Turning my eyes away
From the criminals who seek to shame me
Chorus:
Meet me at the crossroads
Where we will come together
And nothing else will matter
From now until forever

These things
The only way I know to tell you
Whispered in the static
Screaming through the veil
Please say
The message came through
As intended
Code deciphered and recieved

Chorus

Repeat x 6
Code deciphered
Message recieved.





Chorus repeat x 2

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ego Likeness's "Now Until Forever" are deeply emotional, speaking of a dream-like state of searching for someone, and the importance of communication, even when it is difficult to do so. The singer is dreaming, but they are not asleep; instead, they are searching for the person they wish to speak to. They have a message for this person, perhaps one that is difficult to convey, but despite the obstacles in their way, they push ahead. They navigate deep waters and endless deserts, using their intuition to guide them as they try to avoid those who might shame them for their vulnerability.


The chorus serves as both a plea and a promise, as the singer implores the person they seek to meet them at the crossroads, where their souls will come together in a moment of perfect unity. All else will fade into insignificance, and nothing else will matter from "now until forever." In the following verse, the singer indicates that the message they bear is one that can only be communicated through whispered codes and screams, revealing how important it is that it be sent and received as intended. The repeated refrain of "code deciphered" and "message received" underscores the importance of successful communication, especially when it comes to matters of the heart and soul.
