Forever Young
Interactive Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the, the mad men

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever? Forever young

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?





Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?

Overall Meaning

The song "Forever Young" by Interactive is a timeless classic that speaks to both the young and the young-at-heart. The lyrics revolve around the desire to live life without limits, to take chances and embrace the unknown. The chorus "Forever young, I want to be forever young, do you really want to live forever?" is a powerful reminder of the fleeting nature of life and the importance of living in the present moment.


The song's verses are filled with imagery that paints a picture of life as a short journey that should be lived to the fullest. The lyrics "Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while, Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies" speaks to the idea that life should be enjoyed while we have the opportunity to do so and that we shouldn't be too concerned about the afterlife.

So many songs we forgot to play
There are so many chances we had to take but didn't.


So many dreams swinging out of the blue
There are so many dreams that seem impossible, but still exist.


We let them come true
But, with hard work and dedication, nothing is impossible. We have to make these dreams come true.


Forever young, I want to be forever young
We yearn to retain the feeling of free-spirited youth.


Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
Immortality may not be the answer to all our problems. Sometimes it's okay to let go.
