Eternal
Eternal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shadow figures dancing through the fog
Remnants of what was are lost
Prying eyes gleaming in the night
Search for someone left to haunt
Wait with patience for a soul to lead astray
Pull them in with just a thought
Feel a whisp of air crash through you like a wave
Unaware and now your caught
All is done, forever trapped here now
Pain is all you'll ever feel
Left to ponder if it's hell or if it's real
Cursed to never see the ones you loved again




Stabbing dagger through your heart
Stolen swiftly once you just got past the start

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Eternal" by Bebe Winans paints a picture of a solitary being roaming the vast expanse of space. The "cosmos queen" is a celestial traveler, endlessly wandering through the loneliness of space while eternally young. Death is never going to come for her because she is too pure and lonely, her only companion being the feeling of delight. The song speaks of the beauty of the cosmos and how it could be both a wondrous and hauntingly lonely place.


However, the lyrics take a sorrowful turn as the cosmos queen comes across a planet with life, and something in her soul prompts her to head there. But to her dismay, she discovers that she cannot overcome the wall that stands before her, forcing her to return to her eternal wandering. The song speaks of the eternity of existence, the longing for companionship, and the tragedy of unrequited love.


Overall, "Eternal" is a poignant and bittersweet ode to eternal life and the loneliness it brings.
