Cancer
Eternity X Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the story of all life's emotion
Wrapped up inside one heart
I can be your love for the rest of your life
And always play the part

Someone to love and a family
Someone to hold and protect me
I remember when I left your side

You asked me why

You said goodbye Cancer baby, goodbye
Take care of yourself inside
Goodbye Cancer baby, goodbye
You just broke down and you cried

The years I remember seem all to endless
The shifting of moons and tides
One minute I'm up the next I'm down
I'll leave you to wonder why

Someone to stand by me
Someone to look to for security
I remember when I left your side
The look in your eyes

You said goodbye Cancer baby, goodbye
Take care of yourself inside
Goodbye Cancer baby, goodbye
You just broke down and you cried

Goodbye Cancer baby, goodbye

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Eternity X's song "Cancer" are introspective and evoke a feeling of reflection on the cyclical nature of life's joys and challenges. The opening lines describe the myriad of emotions that we experience throughout our lives, which are encapsulated in one heart. The singer then goes on to offer themselves as a source of love, protection and stability, with a desire to be someone's partner for the rest of their life. The second verse shifts into a reflection on the passing of time, with the singer feeling like their ups and downs have been never-ending. They long for someone to stand by them and provide them with a sense of security. The chorus then repeats the refrain of "goodbye cancer baby, goodbye", describing a moment where the singer had to say goodbye to someone battling the disease, with tears flowing.

The song seems to be dealing with themes of mortality and the fleeting nature of life, something that is emphasized by the metaphor of cancer as a destroyer of life. The singer realizes that emotions are what make us feel alive, but they can also be a source of great pain. There is a sense of longing for stability and a desire to be loved and protected, which is contrasted with the transience of life.
