Live Forever
Ferry Corsten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Living life in rewind like I'm frozen in time and place
And I'm fading
Falling further behind every step that I try to take
I've been hiding
From the heat of the sun, watching everyone come and go
Let some light in
I wanna know you better
I wanna take you for a ride
Go on a wild adventure
Not let a moment pass me by
Turn out the lights
Turn up the bass
I wanna be front and center
Bring on the night
There's no time to waste
I wanna live forever
Turn out the lights
Turn up the bass
I wanna be front and center
Bring on the night
There's no time to waste
I'm gonna live forever
Can you hear it?
Like the beat of your heart, an electrical spark inside
Let the feeling
From the force of the sound lift you up off the ground tonight
I'm addicted
It's like a chemical high, yea I feel so alive right now
Take a picture
Cause it's all gonna pass
This is too good to last, and I'm moving too fast to slow down
Turn out the lights
Turn up the bass
I wanna be front and center
Bring on the night
There's no time to waste
I wanna live forever
Turn out the lights
Turn up the bass
I wanna be front and center
Bring on the night
There's no time to waste
I'm gonna live forever
The lyrics to Ferry Corsten's song "Live Forever" convey the singer's desire to break free from a stagnant existence and embrace new experiences. The opening lines evoke a sense of ennui and stasis, as the singer describes feeling stuck in time and space. The phrase "Living life in rewind" suggests a sense of aimlessness and lack of direction. The second stanza deepens this sense of frustration, as the singer describes falling further behind with each step they take. However, there is also a sense of hope and possibility in these lyrics. The singer voices a desire to "let some light in" and learn more about the world around them.
The chorus of "Live Forever" builds on these themes of yearning and possibility. The repeated refrain "Turn out the lights / Turn up the bass / I wanna be front and center" suggests an almost hedonistic desire to immerse oneself in a new experience. The line "Bring on the night / There's no time to waste" reinforces this sense of urgency and excitement. Ultimately, the chorus is a call to action, encouraging listeners to embrace the moment and pursue their passions fully.
Overall, "Live Forever" is a song about breaking free from the chains of monotony and embracing the unknown. It invites listeners to take risks and seek out new experiences, living in the moment and cherishing every opportunity that comes their way.

I've been waiting
I have been anticipating for something to happen
Living life in rewind like I'm frozen in time and place
Feels like I am not moving forward, getting nowhere with time just rewinding.
And I'm fading
Slowly losing energy and vitality
Falling further behind every step that I try to take
Every attempt to make progress leads to further setbacks
I've been hiding
I am shying away from being seen and known
From the heat of the sun, watching everyone come and go
While observing everyone else, I remain concealed and stunted
Let some light in
Allow some openness and vulnerability to enter into my life
Cause I can't see a thing and there's so much I need to know
I am unaware of something significant that I need to learn
I wanna know you better
I desire to know and understand others more than I currently do.
I wanna take you for a ride
I want to go on an exciting adventure together
Go on a wild adventure
I am seeking spontaneity and excitement in life
Not let a moment pass me by
I want to take advantage of every opportunity and make the most of life
Turn out the lights
Dim the lighting
Turn up the bass
Increase the intensity of the music
I wanna be front and center
I want to be in the spotlight and center stage
Bring on the night
I am ready for whatever the night has to offer.
There's no time to waste
Time is short, and we must make the most of it.
I wanna live forever
I want to enjoy life to the fullest and make the most of every moment.
Can you hear it?
Do you perceive the energy and excitement around you?
Like the beat of your heart, an electrical spark inside
The pulse and electricity of the music is a reflection of the life within me.
Let the feeling
Allow the excitement and energy to envelop you.
From the force of the sound lift you up off the ground tonight
The strength and power of the music can elevate us beyond the mundane.
I'm addicted
I am hooked on this exhilarating feeling
It's like a chemical high, yea I feel so alive right now
The feeling of excitement is like a chemical intoxication that makes me feel more alive than ever
Take a picture
Capture this moment in time
Cause it's all gonna pass
This will not last forever
This is too good to last, and I'm moving too fast to slow down
I am going too fast to return to this once it passes, and it is too wonderful to let go.
I'm gonna live forever
I want to make the most of my time and live life to the fullest, everlastingly.
