There is Beauty in Permanence
Farewell Flight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One hand 'round the other's wrist
All air exiting my chest
All senses functioning: Heart beats, maintain breathing
As you walk steadily, I have never felt so weak, or so strong, as I do now
Lids close for the last time on a world familiar to their eyes
And, when opened, they will be made new, staring for the first time at you
Earth pauses, and all time stops as the music cues and the ground drops out from me
In this moment as you're drawing near, my destiny is finally clear and it's you
Walk steadily




I have never felt so weak, or so strong, as I do now
She makes herself ready

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of “There is Beauty in Permanence” by Farewell Flight reflect the emotions and thoughts of a person experiencing a significant life event. The first stanza describes the physical sensations of the singer as someone they care for walks away, emphasizing the extreme vulnerability and powerlessness they feel as they witness the departure. However, the line "I have never felt so weak, or so strong, as I do now," suggests an acceptance of the emotional impact of this event, and a simultaneous recognition of the singer’s own fortitude.


The second stanza speaks to the idea of transformation and the passing of time. The imagery suggests that the person leaving has profoundly affected the singer and will continue to do so long after their departure. The final lines - “my destiny is finally clear and it's you / Walk steadily / She makes herself ready” - depict a decisive moment where the singer embraces the change and accepts that the relationship they have with the departing person will always be a part of them.


Overall, “There is Beauty in Permanence” can be interpreted as an ode to the bittersweet nature of change and the fact that painful experiences can shape and redefine us in meaningful ways.
