Gone Forever
Eyes Of Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never meant no harm. I never hurt no one. I never knew it would end this way.
Watching as my world slips away. All at once it is gone forever.
Say goodbye to me forever, if forever feels like this.
I don't want to see tomorrow, if tomorrow feels like this.
I was born to cross the line. Born to suffer. For all the things I never was...
For those who thought I never would be...
Erase me from your memory. I don't want it. I don't need it. If it's gone forever.
The lyrics to Eyes Of Fire's song Gone Forever depict a sense of despair and hopelessness as the singer watches their world slip away, while still holding on to their former identity. The first verse reveals the singer's good intentions as they claim they never meant to cause harm or hurt anyone, but still cannot believe that their life has ended up this way. The chorus features the singer pleading with their loved ones to say goodbye forever, as they cannot bear the thought of continuing to live in a world that feels like this. The second verse reveals that the singer has been born into a life of suffering, and that they have never been able to live up to the expectations of those around them, causing them to feel like they are unworthy of being remembered. However, the bridge of the song provides a glimmer of hope as the singer acknowledges that love is never truly gone forever or for good.
