Forever Orion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wait for daybreak...
and it will swiftly come at last
the storm will calm
and in the stillness
arms open wide
to the prospect of new light

Falling away
the sands of time disintegrate
through the hourglass
leaving a trace of the answers left be

How can i awake
with no promise of tomorrow?
This portrait world i view
can't be all there is to see

So i wait for a crack in time
To open up and consume me
with darkness as my guide
bringing a path to light

The echoes of voices now resound
(I hear a familiar cry)
Cut the ties that bound us to...
(Memories that bind us)

Wait for daybreak
and it will swiftly come at last
the storm will calm
and in the stillness
arms open wide




to the prospect of new light
leaving a trace of the answers left behind

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song, 'Wait for daybreak and it will swiftly come at last, the storm will calm, and in the stillness, arms open wide to the prospect of new light,' suggests a hopeful outlook towards life despite the ongoing hardships one might be facing. The storm symbolizes the challenges and struggles that people face while the daybreak signifies hope and renewal. The use of the metaphor invites listeners to hold on, to not lose hope, and to wait for a better tomorrow where they can find peace and start anew.


In the following lines, 'Falling away, the sands of time disintegrate through the hourglass, leaving a trace of the answers left behind,' the artist speaks to the passing of time and the fading of memories. This line captures the fleeting nature of life and the importance of treasuring each moment as they may never come back. Time is the entity that takes away everything eventually, but the line also speaks to how memories, and the lessons learned, will remain as clues to unlock the answers that one may need moving forward.


The chorus of the song highlights the artist's desire to find answers to life's mysteries, and the struggle with the uncertainty of the future. The lyrics, 'How can I awake with no promise of tomorrow? This portrait world I view can't be all there is to see, So I wait for a crack in time to open up and consume me with darkness as my guide, bringing a path to light,' suggests a yearning for something more significant than the status quo. The artist hopes for an epiphany, a crack in time, that will offer a new direction and bring a sense of clarity, despite the initial discomfort such a process may bring. Ultimately, the artist encourages listeners to keep looking for answers, keep hoping, and not give up on finding out what is essential to them.
